Woman Charged In Attempt To Steal Graceland & Millions From Elvis Presley’s Estate

The Justice Department has charged a Missouri woman with attempting to fraudulently claim ownership of Graceland and millions of dollars from the estate of Elvis Presley. Lisa Jeanine Findley, 52, faces allegations of mail fraud and aggravated identity theft for her role in a failed attempt to foreclose on the legendary singer’s former home.

According to the charges, Findley orchestrated a fraudulent foreclosure attempt by falsely claiming that Lisa Marie Presley, Elvis Presley’s daughter, had used Graceland as collateral for a $3.8 million loan from a fake lender. Prosecutors allege that Findley, who is also known by several aliases, including Lisa Holden and Lisa Howell, fabricated documents and claims to support her scheme.

Findley was arrested Friday morning and is scheduled to appear in federal court later today. The arrest comes on the anniversary of Elvis Presley’s death on August 16, 1977. Court documents reveal that Findley impersonated employees of a non-existent company, Naussany Investments & Private Lending LLC, to pursue the fraudulent claim. After Lisa Marie Presley’s death in January 2023, Findley sought $2.85 million from Presley’s family by filing deceptive foreclosure documents.

In May, Elvis’s granddaughter, Danielle Riley Keough, who inherited Graceland after her mother’s death, successfully blocked the foreclosure sale through a lawsuit. Following the media exposure of the fraudulent scheme, Findley allegedly attempted to deflect blame by claiming an identity thief in Nigeria was responsible.

The Tennessee Chancery Court intervened in May, halting the planned foreclosure auction and postponing it for further hearings to resolve property rights. The Tennessee attorney general’s office subsequently referred the investigation to the Justice Department earlier this summer.
