IN BAD TASTE
Sick jokers dress in Brian Laundrie and Dog the Bounty Hunter costumes for Halloween after fugitive found dead in swamp
TWISTED trolls have shamelessly posed as Brian Laundrie in vile Halloween costumes after the fugitive was found dead.
Warped social media users have shared snaps of themselves dressed up as Gabby Petito's fiance Laundrie and Dog the Bounty Hunter for the holiday - with others putting up distasteful decorations.

After Laundrie, 23, was reported missing by his parents on September 17, Dog joined the manhunt and vowed to catch him before his birthday in November.
The search for Laundrie came to an end on October 21 after cops identified remains found at the Myakkahatchee Creek Environmental Park as that of Laundrie's.
Inspired by Dog's well-documented search for Laundrie, sick jokers decided to dress up as the pair for Halloween.
Pictures shared on social media show people posing as Dog pretending to have caught Laundrie.
In one snap on Instagram, one person donned a skeleton costume while their pal dressed as Dog with the caption reading: "It was an intense game of hide and seek.. but ultimately the DOG won!" alongside the #BrianLaundrie hashtag.
Another post on Instagram shows a couple who also cruelly decided to go as Laundrie and Dog.

The photo shows the man sporting a beard like Laundrie's as his partner - in a Dog costume - holds his hands behind his back.
"Brian Laundries not dead. I got you Brian - Dog the bounty hunter," the caption reads.
And another picture uploaded online shows a man poking fun at Laundrie with a laundry basket wrapped around his waist and a bottle of detergent wedged inside.
Text on the photo reads: “My name is Brian”
“Found my Halloween costume! I’m going to the house on Halloween!!!” the post's caption says.
Others put sick decorations out on public display in what appear to be references to the “partial remains” police found in the Florida wilderness last month while searching for Laundrie.
TWISTED DECORATIONS
One social media user put a blood-splattered skeleton outside her home in Tampa, Florida, with a sign saying "Brian Laundrie" on top.
The Instagrammer posted an image of her grim decoration on the platform, with the caption "My Haunted House".
Another troll put a broken-up skeleton on their front lawn in Delaware beside a backpack and notepad with the words "I'm sorry Gabby -Brian" on - appearing to refer to the notebook and backpack that were reportedly discovered by cops.
A third sicko appears to have put fake bones in a makeshift coffin with a sign reading "Brian Laundrie" at a gathering.
A further picture shows a skeleton leaning against a tree, alongside the sign: “Breaking News, we found Brian Laundrie.”
It comes after Gabby's remains were discovered at a campsite in Teton County, Wyoming on September 19.

A coroner later ruled that she had been strangled to death by a "human force" and that she'd been killed between three to four weeks before she was found.
Gabby and Laundrie had been on a cross-country road trip touring the US' national parks when he returned home to Florida without her on September 1 in the couple's repurposed van before disappearing himself 12 days later.
