	Polygamous Family Investigated for Incest Individual.com October 24, 2006 http://www.individual.com/story.php?story=53486751 Salt Lake City, Oct 24, 2006 (UPI via COMTEX) -- Utah officials are investigating allegations of incest within the polygamous Kingston family. Paul Kingston is the leader of the Latter Day Church of Christ, a fundamentalist sect based in the Salt Lake Valley with about 1,500 members, the Salt Lake Tribune reported. The newspaper said authorities are seeking DNA samples and fingerprints in an apparent criminal investigation of incest within the family. Former sect members say incestuous marriages have caused genetic defects such as dwarfism, microcephaly and kidney problems, the newspaper said. "When you marry as close as they have through several generations, there are going to be problems," said Rowenna Erickson, who left the Kingstons years ago. A 1999 Salt Lake Tribune report found Paul Kingston's plural wives included two of his half sisters.
