Federal authorities on Friday arrested a Missouri woman on charges she tried to extort Elvis Presley’s family out of millions and fraudulently auction Presley’s former Memphis home, Graceland.
Lisa Jeanine Findley is accused of falsely claiming that Presley’s daughter, Lisa Marie Presley, who died in January 2023, had borrowed $3.8 million, pledged Graceland as collateral, and failed to repay the debt.
Findley, who has a long history of small-time fraud and numerous aliases, threatened to sell Graceland to the higher bidder if Presley’s family didn’t pay a $2.85 million settlement, authorities say.
