In a subsequent video, he appeared alongside his daughter who admitted to lying about his death to obtain money – she had been given $1,000 for Larry’s ‘funeral.’
She expressed remorse over the lie as she puffed on a cigarette, saying: “I shouldn’t have done it.
“I’m trying to get help for my drug addiction.”
The situation escalated further when the filmmaker gave Larry $700, with the understanding that he would use the money to take his daughter to North Carolina to start a new life.
Laita clarified that his relationship with the Whittakers was contingent on this plan.
