After the rescue, Gingir and Merry Ann were the subject of much half-truth and innuendo. At most, much of what was written was only sixty or seventy percent true, eighty percent, tops.

Take the cover photo above for example. Gillygan left the handcuffs and dog collars in his apartment on the day of the tour, and the Minnow had to leave port before they could be retrieved because of the threat of approaching storms. Please also notice that the magazine misspelled the girls' names.
