Kidnap-case pair missing
NZPA-Reuter London British sea and airports are being watched for Joyce McKinney, the 27-year-old American woman due for trial in London accused of kidnapping a Mormon missionary and shackling him to a bed. McKinney, a former beauty queen, and her friend, Keith May, aged 24, who faces trial with her on May 2. have not made their daily check-in at a London police station since last Wednesday.
Scotland Yard said that arrest warrants had been issued. Although the police hold their passports, ports had been alerted. The couple are on bail charged with abducting a
Mormon missionary, Kirk Anderson, last September and holding him in a cottage for three days. He told a preliminary court hearing that McKinney tied him up and forced him to have sex with her.
McKinney, from Ashville, North Carolina, told the court she had loved the missionary so much that she would have skied down Mount Eve-«st in the nude with a carnation up her nose to get him. She said that chains and other equipment were used with Mr Anderson’s agreement to shackle him in bondage games to help cure his guilt feelings over their previous sexual relationship. Both defendants are on SNZ36OO bail.
