What would you do for love? What would you do to escape it? This week Grant tells us the bizarre story of the beauty queen who would do anything for the man she loved, and the man who didn’t quite feel the same way in return. What follows is a tale of kidnapping, counter theories, costumes, and one very quotable woman. It is the story of tabloids who turn the incident into spectacle and in the process undermine justice and truth. Joyce McKinney believes she is many things, what is actually true and what is a figment of her imagination is a question many have tried to answer. This week it is the case of the Manacled Mormon on Well, I Laughed.
