WASHINGTON, D.C.: A Missouri woman admitted to a scheme to cheat Elvis Presley's family out of millions and take control of Graceland, the U.S. Department of Justice has said.

The DOJ said Lisa Jeanine Findley, 53, organized a scheme to conduct a fraudulent sale of the estate in Memphis, Tennessee, where Presley is buried, by falsely claiming that Presley's daughter, Lisa Marie, had pledged Graceland as collateral for a loan that she failed to repay before her death in 2023.

Lisa Marie's daughter, Riley Keough, sued Naussany Investments, the company Findley used, arguing the loan never existed. A judge blocked the sale, and Naussany dropped its claims in May 2024.

Findley was arrested in August 2024 and charged with identity theft and mail fraud.

She could face up to 20 years in prison.
