Later Developments
In 1984 McKinney was again the subject of police action for allegedly stalking Anderson at his workplace, though he was now married with children.
In 2008 "Bernann McKinney" appeared in the media after having her pet dog cloned in Korea. Journalists attempted to tie the two incidents together in articles that claimed some facial similarity between "Bernann McKinney" and Joyce Bernann McKinney. After initial denials the International Herald Tribune and other publications carried an admission by McKinney that she was the person named in the 1977 case. The revival of interest in the story led the documentary filmmaker Errol Morris to produce his film, Tabloid (2010), based on the media sensation surrounding the story.
Anderson is now a real estate agent, and shies away from publicity. McKinney is reported to now use a wheelchair for mobility, and lives in Newland, in the western North Carolina mountains. Keith May, her co-conspirator, died in 2004.

Famous quotes containing the word developments:
“The developments in the North were those loosely embraced in the term modernization and included urbanization, industrialization, and mechanization. While those changes went forward apace, the antebellum South changed comparatively little, clinging to its rural, agricultural, labor-intensive economy and its traditional folk culture.”
—C. Vann Woodward (b. 1908)
“I don’t wanna live in a city where the only cultural advantage is that you can make a right turn on a red light.
Freedom from labor itself is not new; it once belonged among the most firmly established privileges of the few. In this instance, it seems as though scientific progress and technical developments had been only taken advantage of to achieve something about which all former ages dreamed but which none had been able to realize.”
—Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
