Bernann McKinney & Joyce McKinney the Same Woman?

Allie @ Gone Hollywood | Friday, August 8, 2008 |
Bernann McKinney is a former Hollywood beauty queen and also the crazy dog lady from California who paid South Korean scientists $50,000 to clone her dead dog Booger. They cloned 5 puppies from skin cells taken from Booger’s ear tissue.
Now the Daily News is suggesting that she looks exactly like a former Miss Wyoming who was involved in a bizarre sex scandal 30 years ago.
In 1978, Joyce McKinney jumped bail and disappeared after being charged with kidnapping Kirk Anderson, a 19 year old male Mormon missionary, whom she had chained to a Devon cottage bed with mink handcuffs and forced to have sex.
At the time, she famously said of her victim: ‘I loved him so much that I would ski naked down Mount Everest with a carnation up my nose if he asked me to.’
Were these two blonde, American, dog-loving and, yes, quite possibly barking mad, Miss McKinneys one and the same person?
Last night, when we spoke to ‘Bernann’ on the telephone, having tracked her down to a Seoul hotel room, her hostile reaction hardly quashed the intrigue.
Asked: ‘Are you really Joyce McKinney?’ she snapped: “Are you going to ask me about my dogs, or not? Because that’s all I’m prepared to talk to you about.”
Joyce tried to get Anderson to agree to marry her, but he kept turning her ass down. Anderson finally agreed to marry her. When she loosened the cuffs, he escaped. Joyce and May were arrested.
Joyce spent three months in prison. She was released on bail due to the fact that she was insane. She and May used fake passports to flee to Canada. Joyce finally decided to cash in on her fame by posing topless in men’s magazines. She spent the next 5 years consumed in a world of drugs and prostitution.
In 1984, she was arrested AGAIN after cops found her at the Salt Lake City Airport where Anderson worked. They found rope and handcuffs in her car. She never showed up to court and the case was dropped.
In the 1990’s, Joyce was living in North Carolina. She had another run in with the law when she broke into a dog pound to rescue a dog. She hasn’t been heard from since.
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.
‘Who started all this?’ Miss ‘Bernann’ McKinney demanded to know when she was phoned in Seoul, as she prepared to return to the U.S. with one of the puppies. (The others will remain in care among the scientists who have cloned them in the short-term.)
Told that there was a growing internet debate about whether she was indeed the Mormon kidnapper, Miss McKinney replied: ‘I’m only going to talk to you about the dogs and the death of Booger. I’ve got people waiting to dine with me. I’m not talking about anything else.’
And that was that. She would neither confirm nor deny the link.

Hi
i have proof that the cloned dog story was FaKE, even RNL now admits it
damnny
re
I am doing research on this fake cloning Booger story. Ms McKinney is
a serial liar. she lied about being a screen writer, she lied about
teaching drama “at several US colleges, she lied at first about being
the Mormon rapist, and did you know she did not have to pay full
150,0o0 USD fee, reduced to just 50,000 for her, because she HELPED
OUT with publicity, according to the lab. read between the lines,
those dogs were not cloned from booger’s dna, they are just normal
puppies, cute as hell, but we been had by a serial liar. i am looking
into this. it’s funny, and sad. WATCH THIS STORY IMPLODEâ?¦..

RNL Bio charges up to $150,000 for dog cloning but will receive just a
third of that sum from McKinney because she is the first customer and
helped with publicity, said company head Ra Jeong-chan.
****smoking gun��HELPED WITH PR.,��see!
