Tabloid Page #11

Synopsis: Tabloid stories centered on the activities of Joyce McKinney, a former beauty queen with a self-reported IQ of 168, over her life are presented. Beyond her beauty pageant days, McKinney first hit the tabloid pages in Britain in what was largely coined "The Case of the Manacled Mormon". As reported by McKinney in interviews, she, a southern Christian originally from North Carolina, got involved with a group of Mormons in her pursuit of true love, without knowing they were Mormons or anything about Mormonism. She fell in love with one of those Mormons, Kirk Anderson, the two who were to be married. After he disappeared without saying anything to her, she, with the help of a private investigator and some male friends and new acquaintances, tracked him down in England where he was being brainwashed by Mormon elders, that brainwashing which included the notion of sex with and marriage to her, a non-Mormon, as taboo. He left with her voluntarily, she who took him away to a secluded cottage t

a normal, all-American kid.

"After her miraculous escape

to America,

"Joyce retreats into seclusion

to write a book

"about her love story.

"She vows never to marry,

"knowing fully

that she could never love

"another man other than Kirk,

"for she will grow old alone.

"The love that once spanned

an entire continent

and ocean still exists."

"Time changes, but the scene

is still the same.

"Joyce is now

a lonely old woman.

"Like Narcissus,

she is pining to death,

dying of a broken heart."

That's the conclusion

of my book,

but the love has never ended.
