SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- A woman who made news around the world when she had five pups cloned from her beloved pit bull Booger looked very familiar to some who saw her picture: She's the same woman who 31 years earlier was accused of abducting a Mormon missionary in England, handcuffing him to a bed and making him her sex slave. The story of Joyce McKinney is the stuff of pulp fiction: a North Carolina-born beauty queen who moved west, won the title Miss Wyoming USA and went on to college at Brigham Young University, where she became obsessed with a Mormon fellow student. When that young Mormon took a missionary trip to England, authorities say McKinney hired a private detective so she could locate and follow him. She and a male accomplice were accused of abducting the 21-year-old missionary as he went door to door, taking him to a rented 17th-century ''honeymoon cottage'' in Devon and chaining him spread-eagle to a bed with several pairs of mink-lined handcuffs.  I loved him so much,'' she told a judge, ''that I would ski naked down Mount Everest in the nude with a carnation up my nose if he asked me to.'' McKinney and her accomplice spent three months in a London jail before being released on bail. Press reports at the time that said the pair then jumped bail, posing as deaf-mute actors in Ireland to board an Air Canada flight to Toronto and eventually a bus to Cleveland, where investigators lost their trail.   London police told the AP they've consigned the case to the history books because of its age and won't seek McKinney's extradition.

Yawn.     Do me a favor and wake me up when we have an interesting story.   Honestly I can only take so many of these beauty queens kidnapping Mormons stories.  Yeah, the dog cloning and the jumping bail by posing as a deaf mute actor was a nice touch, but enough is enough.   I mean once you’ve heard about one Mormon being spread eagled to a bed with mink handcuffs and used as a sex slave, I think you’ve heard them all.   

PS – I like the way London works.   Once they put a case in the history books, it’s over.   End of story.
