Missouri Woman Arrested In Graceland Scheme

Authorities have arrested a Missouri woman who they say was behind a scheme to fraudulently sell Elvis Presley’s Graceland property in Memphis.

Lisa Jeanine Findley, 53, now faces charges of mail fraud and aggravated identity theft. This comes after Naussany Investments and Private Lending (a fictitious company), contacted Promenade Trust, which controls the Memphis estate, claiming it owed millions for failing to repay a loan, back in May. The company then attempted to auction off the property in a foreclosure sale.

Riley Keough, Elvis’ granddaughter who inherited Graceland after her mother Lisa Marie Presley died sued Naussany May 15th. She said her mother’s supposed signatures on the documents were forgeries and that Naussany is not a real company. A judge has since blocked the sale.

Prosecutors say Findley posed as three different people associated with Naussany Investments, falsely claimed Keough owed millions to them and fabricated loan documents with Lisa Marie Presley’s signature. She is also responsible for sending fake emails claiming to be a Nigerian scammer targeting the estate, the Department of Justice said.

The legal wrangling’s in this case are now over with the arrest of Lisa Jeanine Findley.
