The Whittakers are three siblings named Lorraine, Timmy, and Ray. Their parents were double first cousins, The Sun reported - first cousins, twice, because they share both sets of grandparents.
The genetic complications have caused a host of behavioral issues
Laita was first acquainted with the West Virginia family in 2004 when he took pictures of them.
He decided to come back years in 2020
In an interview with Koncrete podcast, recorded before Christmas, Laita recalled the most bizarre moments with the family.
'It was out of control,' he said.
'There's these people walking around and their eyes are going in different directions and they are barking at us.
'And [this] one guy, you'd look at him in the eye or say anything and he would just scream and go running away and his pants would fall around his ankles.'
Laita said the family have received a surge in interest since he first photographed and then filmed them. He said he needed a police escort to visit.
Laita recalled the building up of his relationship with the inbred family, particularly with family members named Ray, Betty, Kenneth, Ray, Timmy and Lorraine.
The first time he approached them was in the early 2000s when he was initially met by 'protective' neighbors with a shotgun.
'They don't like people coming to ridicule these people,' Laita said on the podcast.
At the time, Laita wanted to take photos of the Whittakers for his book, 'Created Equal.' The book told stories of diverse cultures in the US.
While he wasn't initially welcomed, he was eventually allowed to snap a few shots and even gifted some to the family.
One of the filmmaker's latest videos from 2021 showed the family's rundown conditions, with the group living in a small and overcrowded home with several animals.

If I recall their,case was due to inbreeding too, but I’m not sure.
Wait a minute, it’s all becoming clear now. “Wasserman”? As in Debbie wasserman Schultz? A coincidence? I think not!
Money and power.
...and these folks don’t have highly-paid media spin teams covering for them.
Lol I was an x files junkie too. I ahve seen any of the new ones though, have you?
Jeffrey eapstein had a God complex too- supposedly trying to create a master race or some such nonsense.
They all had blew eyes- one blew this way, the other blew that way
That has probably happened more than we know. It would be wild to find somehting out like that for sure .
In 1962 genetic testing had not yet been developed.
I imagine random encounters could contribute to that.
Yep. Bidenidiot fits right in. He’s the worst of the bunch.

They can't help it. The creatures you mention have relatively normal ancestry; they are willfully and deliberately evil.
I am given to understand that it usually takes several generations of inbreeding for the really negative genetic effects to start manifesting themselves.
She was not joking, she was flat out lying to you.
A blood test can not tell if you are related. Only if you are possibly not. Until the 90s paternity tests could only rule you out as the father. It could not say that you were the father for certain.
It was exactly what they said it was for, a test for STDs.
Second generation is where the trouble starts.
With the Egyptians and the Inca Royals where it was usually half brother marrying half sister it often was about the third generation where trouble started and the fourth generation was usually unable to produce viable offspring.
Interesting. Thank you both.
