It’s hard to take anyone seriously when they have digital cat ears and whiskers superimposed onto their face.<\/span><\/p>\n

A lesson Canadian police learned the hard way.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) in British Columbia have apologized after livestreaming a press conference detailing a double homicide\u2014with an augmented reality “cat filter” turned on.<\/span><\/p>\n

Chynna Noelle Deese, 24, of North Carolina, and Lucas Robertson Fowler, 23, of Australia, were found Monday morning alongside Highway 97 in British Columbia.<\/span><\/p>\n

A blue 1986 Chevrolet van with Alberta license plates was also at the scene.<\/span><\/p>\n

The couple, as reported by CBS17<\/a>, were on a road trip through Canada; after visiting national parks, they planned to end the journey in Alaska.<\/span><\/p>\n

It remains unclear whether the duo were specifically targeted or the victims of a random act of violence.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Early in the investigation, the deaths were deemed suspicious and investigators from the North District and BC RCMP Major Crimes Units were called to assist the investigation,” Sgt. Janelle Shoihet, of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, said at a Friday press conference.<\/span><\/p>\n

Unfortunately, the somber announcement was marred by a pair of pink cartoon cat ears and animated whiskers on Shoihet’s otherwise earnest face.<\/span><\/p>\n
