Just seen this report on the lunchtime news. The lady involved in the purchase, Bernann McKinney bore a remarkable resemblance to Joyce McKinney who some
years back was involved in a court case re the Manacled Morman Kirk Anderson. She was accused of abducting and holding him prisoner against his will. I wonder
if it is the same person?

How totally observant of you, Clemmy. I had completely forgotten about that case until you mentioned it now.
As I remember "Joyce" was considerably better looking than this person, but I saw the item and it did mention that this one was once a beauty queen. (Must have been in the eye of the beholder). Could well be a relative if not the lady with the penchant for handcuffs and orange cup. Reminder to Turnips: Visit/avoid Salt Lake City. (The choice is yours!) Looking at this, Clemmy, (the other pic I found was unsuitable for our more nervous viewers), It could well be.

Punkish group Radio Stars recorded a song about the case in 1978.

Youre probably right, Clemmy. She has probably changed her name to disguise her lurid past.
Nice trivia, Rainman! |

I'm not in the habit of pointing people at the Daily Vile but here we go.

Clemmy's time - Tuesday, August 5th 2.28pm.
Daily Telegraph's blogger - Tuesday, August 5, 2008, 9:44 pm. Daily Mail - TODAY - two page article based on above (with of course, by now, time to have researched it.) That makes the "scoop" yours in my book, Clemmy and obviously "Retired" is a Whirligig reader. This is not the first time that the dailies and their feature writers have pinched our material. I once wrote a whole post about it. Right on, Clemmy! Youre the man!

All the papers are jumping on it now - They should be paying royalties to Clemmy.
