Australia's most inbred family has been exposed with tangled bloodlines including brother and sister parents - here is the twisted family tree.
The Colt family were found living in isolation in the hills of Boorowa after four generations of inbreeding went virtually unnoticed.
Police uncovered the clan's shocking living conditions on an isolated bush block in the countryside, four hours south-west of Sydney.
The Colt's patriarch Tim had fathered his daughter's children and moved the family between rural Western and South Australia to avoid detection.
But Tim had died by the time police and welfare workers found the living area of the farm in 2012.
Reports describe the area smelling of "urine and faeces" which lay in open buckets among the sleeping areas, with around 20 dogs.
Tim's wife June, whose parents were brother and sister, had also died by this time.
But at least two of her children, a sister and brother, had a firmly established relationship of their own.
There were also another brother and sister couple of the next generation, who were the children of Tim's favourite daughter Betty.
The pair had three children, one of which died from a genetic disorder, reports MailOnline.
A judgment from the NSW Children's Court found that the incestuous sexual practices and their detachment from society would have continued.
The court gave the pseudonym Colt to the family in order to protect the children's identity, with 12 removed due to neglect.
DNA testing revealed that all but one of them had a disorder called homozygosity, meaning their parents were brother and sister or a parent and child.
Many of the children walked in a shuffling fashion, spoke unintelligibly, and could not read or write.
They were dirty, shy, unable to make eye contact and had never used toilet paper or a toothbrush, with fungal infections and rotting teeth.
It later emerged that they were malnourished, often sexually abused, and assaulted.
Some relatives were left heartbroken and unhappy when the farm was sold and the family was scattered.
The former clan is now spread across four states, after they were removed from the communal compound by NSW's then Family and Community Services department.
Tim Colt was born in 1943 and had seven children with his wife June including Rhonda, Betty, Cherry, Frank, Charlie, Paula and Martha.
He sexually abused his own daughters, in particular Betty who gave birth to 13 children.
Nine of these children were among the Colt children DNA tested and five were found to be the children of related parents.
Now in her early 50s, Betty has 13 children and at least four grandchildren. She had at least five of her children removed in 2012 including Billy and Bobby who she tried to kidnap from foster care.
She snuck a mobile phone to the boys, then aged 14 and 15, during contact visits and set up a 'runaway plan.'
She planned to take them to South Australia where they would work as fruit pickers.
She is now thought to live in NSW with one of her sons who is now aged in his 20s.
