Documentary maker Mark Laita, who brought attention to the so-called "America's most inbred family", has shared his initial encounter with them.
Laita first filmed the Whittakers from Odd, West Virginia, five years ago and has since returned regularly to provide updates on the family via YouTube.
The Whittaker family's inbreeding began when the offspring of identical twin brothers Henry and John intermarried, leading to generations of inbreeding and resulting in many of their children suffering severe disabilities.
Laita revealed it was initially challenging to gain access to the family as their neighbours were highly protective of them. However, he eventually managed to accompany a police officer to their residence.

,,, but they're happy to sell them BMWs, Dom Perignon and Salvatore Ferragamo stuff.
Projection.
That’s that X-Files episode from season 4 that still gives me the willies.
“Europeans think everyone from the U.S. is inbred.”
This from a continent whose nobility were all first cousins.

Yet they happily let in hundreds of thousands from packistan, Afghanistan and Syria where they truly are about as inbred as things get in modern times
The europeans have quite the inbreeding histories themselves, they really can’t point fingers.
I thought it was the Bidens.
I was expecting that one πππ€£π€£
Now, the movie Deliverance is stuck in my head!
Agreed. Of course, we have Minisomolia.
Check out that film maker’s documentary on “Rebecca”. Very scary
I’m not surprised considering Pete ButtEdge
“Europeans think everyone from the U.S. is inbred.”
No they don’t, ridiculous. That occurs in the Middle East at an alarming rate, and now in England due to immigration.
I believe you’re referring to the episode “Home” season 4 Episode 2.
After the first airing it never played again that I know of.
It wasn’t banned but due to the graphic content ot eas decided to not show it again.
I have been watching episodes regularly on the Comet channel for quite some time now and have never seen it.
Pretty hard-core for the 90s.
A certain demographic has entered the chat.....

Come on, man! It’s just their idea of putting family first. /s
Well, they have extra ones...
It’s pretty much legal in 18 states to marry your 1st cousin. I’ve known 2 people who have. As far as I know, their offspring did not follow suit.
