Updated: 2008-08-15 09:39 McKinney was arrested in November 2004 in Tennessee in a van with the 15-year-old, according to a Carter County Sheriff's Department arrest report. McKinney, then living across the state line in Avery County, N.C., needed money to help her three-legged horse, Crockett said. "She loved it dearly," Crockett said. "She was a rather bizarre character, and seems to have a strange circumstance now." He recalled that McKinney had two or three dogs in her car when she conferred with him about her case. "There was a strong aroma about her, and I told her this needed to be taken care of before I went to court with her," Crockett said. McKinney made news around the world this summer when she had five pups cloned inSouth Koreafrom her beloved pit bull Booger. She later confirmed she was Joyce McKinney, who in 1977 became a British tabloid sensation over the kidnapping case. She faced charges of unlawful imprisonment after she was accused of abducting a Mormon missionary inEngland, handcuffing him to a bed and making him her sex slave. She jumped bail and was never brought to justice. "She is bold to put herself on worldwide television," Crockett said. "She must know she's a fugitive in at least one state." |
