Tabloid Page #2
and she was this big,
oh, huge woman,
about 350 pounds
in a tent dress,
and she took one look at me
with my little
beauty queen figure,
and her eyes went up,
and her eyes went down,
and she goes, "She doesn't look
like a Mormon to me."
From the time
I was a little girl,
I was in pageants.
It gave me a chance
to develop myself
to be the best person
I could be
with my looks, with my talent,
with my personality.
The pageants gave me,
as a small-town girl,
the chance to perform.
So Mom thought
you were too sexy for him?
I guess she thought
I was too pretty or something.
Kirk and I were just ready
for the big wedding,
and everything was happy.
The only problem is,
I was wanting to get married
in the Christian church,
and he was getting pressure
from the other side,
and so one day,
he vanished into thin air.
I don't mean he left me.
I don't mean he abandoned me.
I don't mean he left me
for another woman.
I mean he evaporated
into thin air.
He wasn't the kind of person
to just run off like that.
His things were still
at my place,
and, you know,
it was just weird.
I did what any American girl
would do
if her fianc vanished
into thin air:
I looked for him.
I went to L.A.,
trying to save up enough money
to pay a private investigator
to find out
what happened to him.
The private investigator
found him in England.
The Mormons had him.
All young men in the Church,
from the time
that we're young boys,
we're indoctrinated
to prepare to go on mission.
We sing songs like I Hope
They Call Me On A Mission.
# I hope they call me
on a mission #
You leave as a boy.
You come back as a man.
For Kirk, when he reaches
the age of 19,
he doesn't get whisked away
from Joyce.
He's just fulfilling
his religious spiritual
responsibilities.
Joyce knew where he'd gone
and set up this plan
with her strange,
to come over to the U.K.
I had a really good friend
from Torrance, California.
He was an architect,
and his name
Everybody called him "K.J."
K.J. Was like my big brother,
and he said to me,
"I don't want you going over
there to England by yourself."
Said, "You don't know what
they're gonna do to ya."
All I knew
is this powerful group
had done something
to the man I loved.
We got two bodyguards
to go with us.
One was a big guy that was...
what do you call...
a body-builder guy.
And the other was a pilot.
I was interested in something
a little bit more exciting
than what I was doing.
I saw an ad in the newspaper.
short trips in England,
and it sounded kind
of interesting to me.
