A Missouri woman, Lisa Findley, will serve more than four years in prison for an audacious attempt to seize ownership of Graceland, Elvis Presley’s famed home.
Prosecutors said 54-year-old Findley plotted to take the property from the late singer’s family and auction it.
She falsely asserted that Elvis’s only child, Lisa Marie Presley, had used Graceland as collateral for a $3.8 million loan in 2018 and failed to repay it before her death in January 2023.
Findley pleaded guilty in February at a federal court in Memphis, Tennessee, to one count of mail fraud. In exchange, prosecutors dismissed a separate charge of identity theft.

District Judge John Fowlkes handed her a sentence of 57 months in prison and three years of probation.
The alleged loan documents prompted a foreclosure sale scheduled for May last year. However, a judge halted the auction after Elvis’s granddaughter, actress Riley Keough, filed a lawsuit claiming the documents were forgeries.
