Dog Cloner Linked to Mormon Sex Case

(Seoul, South Korea) With worldwide publicity, Bernann McKinney, a California woman who was overjoyed from receiving cloned puppies of her beloved pit bull Booger, has now been linked to a fugitive from the UK named Joyce McKinney, wanted for the Mormon Sex Case Kidnapping.

In the 1970s, former Miss Wyoming Joyce McKinney became obsessively infatuated with a fellow student at Brigham Young University, Kirk Anderson, who fled to England to sever ties with her and perform Mormon missionary work.

"I loved him so much that I would ski naked down Mount Everest with a carnation up my nose if he asked me to."

In 1977, she followed Anderson to England along with a friend named Keith May. Together, McKinney and May, using a fake gun, kidnapped Anderson from a church and took him, chloroformed, to a remote "honeymoon" cottage.

May chained the prisoner to a bed. For two days, McKinney tried to persuade the missionary to marry her and father her children. She even read Scriptures with him in bed.

When this failed to melt his opposition, McKinney reverted to Plan B.

This involved slipping into a 'see-through nightie', playing a cassette of 'romantic music', having Anderson 'spread- eagled' and sexually stimulating him.

She claimed this was a bondage 'game' played with his full consent.

To avoid being held prisoner for the long-term, Anderson promised to marry McKinney. She then unshackled him and Anderson immediately ran to the police. Three days later McKinney and May were arrested and charged with false imprisonment and possession of a fake gun.

Out on bail waiting for trial, McKinney and May fled to Canada disguised as deaf-mute mime artistes.

By now an international fugitive, McKinney reappeared staying at the Hilton hotel in Atlanta, Georgia, disguised as a nun.

Before long, the Press caught up with her and she dropped her disguise to revel in her sexual notoriety - she posed topless for a number of glamour magazines before the U.S. authorities finally caught up with her and she was arrested.

Once again, she was freed on bail (1979) and didn't surface until 1984 when:

She was arrested near Salt Lake City Airport, where Kirk Anderson - the Mormon she had kidnapped - was working.

In her car, police found a length of rope and a pair of handcuffs. The implication was clear that she was about to make a second kidnap attempt, but she failed to show up in court and the case was dropped.

By the late Nineties, McKinney was back in North Carolina, dogged by ill health and often in a wheelchair, living on benefits in a remote smallholding with only three ponies and a fiercely devoted pitbull called Hamburger for company.

It's contended that Hamburger is not much different from Booger. And then there's this.

Perhaps the most persuasive circumstantial evidence to suggest that Joyce and Bernann are the same woman, is that a Joyce Bernann McKinney is registered as living in Avery County, North Carolina - birthplace of the Mormon sex slave kidnapper.

She has been on the voters' register there since 1988.

I'm convinced.
