Woman charged with trying to steal Graceland from Elvis Presley's family

A woman in Missouri was arrested and charged on Friday for her involvement in a scheme to try to extort Elvis Presley's family out of millions of dollars by taking ownership of the singer's former Memphis home, known as Graceland.

Lisa Jeanine Findley, also called Lisa Holden, 53, was arrested on federal charges of mail fraud and aggravated identity theft, prosecutors announced. 

She will make her first court appearance in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri on Friday, according to NBC News. 

Prosecutors allege that Findley was behind the scheme to gain control of Graceland. 

An entity called Naussany Investments and Private Lending alleged that Elvis's daughter, Lisa Marie Presley, didn't repay a loan that used the home as collateral. But it turns out, according to the prosecutors, that Naussany doesn't exist as a business entity and that its bank account was actually Findley's personal bank account.

Lisa Marie Presley died in 2023 and the challenge against Naussany was brought forth by her daughter Danielle Riley Keough who says her mother never took out a loan. She has claimed the documents that stated Lisa Marie took out the loan are "fraudulent."

"When the FBI looked into this Missouri based-company, they found absolutely no business records on file for them, and confirmed that the company didn't actually exist," Natalie Dominguez, marketing consultant for Home Title Lock said on the "Just the News, No Noise" TV show. 

Home Title Lock is a service that monitors one's home title and checks for fraud and sends alerts if some is detected. 

"This started back in September of last year and the judge stopped it a day before the sale in May," Dominguez said. "And this is with Graceland money."

She added that there have been about 450 cases of fraud in Shelby County, Tennessee, where Graceland is located.
