The “manacled Mormon” kidnapper who was identified after cloning her pitbull terrier in South Korea is wanted for burglary involving a three-legged horse in America.

Joyce McKinney is accused of asking a 15-year-old boy to break into a house in Tennessee so she could get money to buy her horse a false leg, her lawyer said.

Ms McKinney, 58, was charged in 2004 with criminal conspiracy to commit aggravated burglary, contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

The former “Miss Wyoming” is alleged to have stalked a Mormon missionary, a former lover she met at university in America, to a tabernacle in East Ewell in 1977.

She allegedly kidnapped him and held him in a cottage in Devon. The missionary claimed that she tied him to the bed with mink-trimmed handcuffs and forced him to have sex.

Ms McKinney was discovered after she hit the headlines by becoming the first person to clone her pet dog Booger five times, costing $100,000 (£53,000).

A police report into the US burglary said she was arrested in November 2004 in Tennessee in a van with the 15-year-old boy.

Ms McKinney, then living in neighbouring North Carolina, needed money to help her three-legged horse, according to David Crockett, her lawyer in the case.

She skipped a court summons in early 2005 but prosecutors may now reopen the case after discovering her whereabouts.

Melanie Widener, an assistant district attorney in Carter County, Tennessee, said it would depend on where Ms McKinney was now, how important the case was, how much it would cost the taxpayers and whether any witnesses were still around.

The sheriff in Carter County said there was also an outstanding warrant for her arrest for a separate offence of allegedly “communicating threats”.
