Cory, a hardworking farmer, unexpectedly inherited a difficult land due to its rugged terrain. Little did he know that this seemingly unremarkable plan concealed a secret that would change his life forever.
While exploring his new property last week, Cory came across a strange metal object that turned out to be military equipment. He took photos of his discovery and reached out to an old friend, a general, who was both amazed and unsure of what to do next.
The general’s reaction was shocking. “Cory, you must leave the area quietly,” he warned. “You were not meant to find this.” Cory was both confused and intrigued by the general’s words.
Undeterred, Cory continued his investigation, discovering bizarre objects along the way. Today’s discovery, however, exceeded all expectations: a capsule of World War II-era military equipment buried deep in his land. Cory could hardly believe what he had discovered.
He quickly took more photos and called his friend the general, who soon called back to order him to clear the site, revealing that his discovery was linked to a covert operation.
Initially baffled, Cory soon understood the significance of this revelation. He deciphered the coordinates on the device, located a place deep in the Utah woods, and felt the urge to find out the truth.
Traveling through picturesque villages and dense forests, Cory encountered unusual wildlife and eventually discovered an abandoned bunker. Inside, he found a notebook belonging to JG, the capsule’s owner, full of memories from his time as a soldier in World War II.
When Cory returned home with newfound information, he contacted JG’s family and learned that he had been missing since the war. Decades later, the family gained closure and was eventually reunited with some of his belongings.
Cory’s unexpected journey from farming to solving a World War II mystery shows how curiosity can reveal hidden stories in even the most unremarkable landscapes.
America’s “most inbred family” has apologized after the person who brought their story to light claimed they had been dishonest the entire time.
America’s ‘most inbred family’ have issued an apology to the man who uncovered them.
Photographer Mark Laita discovered the Whittaker family about 20 years ago, but he didn’t start filming their lives right away.
He stayed in contact with them and went back to their home in Odd, West Virginia, to begin filming in 2020.
\The family consists of three siblings named Lorraine, Timmy, and Ray. Their parents were reportedly first cousins.
After the Whittaker family appeared on Mark Laita’s Soft White Underbelly YouTube channel, they got a lot of attention and were labeled as “the most inbred family” in the U.S.
Although Mark had a good relationship with them, he decided to end it after discovering they had been lying to him.
The family told Mark that 67-year-old Larry Whittaker had died earlier this year. Mark helped them raise money for the funeral and even gave $1,000 of his own money.
However, Larry wasn’t actually dead. When Mark found out, the family apologized for lying, but they went on to deceive him again.
The photographer, Mark Laita, gave Larry Whittaker $700 to help him take his daughter BJ to North Carolina to start a new life. But Larry didn’t do that and kept the money for himself.
Even though Mark said he wasn’t going to see the Whittakers anymore, he visited them over the summer. He filmed the visit and posted it on YouTube this month. In the video, Larry shakes Mark’s hand and apologizes for everything that happened.
“It’s been a long time,” Larry says to Mark. “I’m sorry for what they did to you, and I want to tell the world that I’m sorry.”
Mark accepts the apology and says he missed them. “I’m very good at forgiving and understanding,” Mark shared. “I’ve missed you guys, and I think my viewers have missed you too.” He even joked that the Whittakers probably missed the money they made from being on his YouTube channel.
Now that they’re on speaking terms again, Mark set up another GoFundMe for the family in late August. So far, the page has raised a little over $600 out of a $100,000 goal. The money will go toward helping the family with living expenses and taking care of their home.
