Bernann McKinney: Stranger Than Fiction

This really just gets more and more bizarre.

So, after selling her house to scrape up the $50,000 needed to clone her long-dead pitbull Booger, getting herself to South Korea for the birth of the five puppies, and then admitting that she is the same Joyce Bernann McKinney that kidnapped and raped a Mormon missionary in the 70’s, Bernann McKinney has left South Korea without the cloned puppies.

She’s apparently on the lam yet again after being identified as the mastermind behind a 2004 burglary plot in Tennessee. She supposedly got a 15-year old boy to break into a house to steal some money so she could… get her three-legged horse a prosthetic leg. She was arrested but skipped out on her court date and her lawyer hasn’t heard from her since.

The biotech company that cloned the dogs said she’ll be back sometime in November for the dogs, though there were reports earlier this week that she’d already left the country with at least one of the puppies.
