A Missouri woman was arrested Friday morning on federal charges in connection with a scheme to extort Elvis Presley’s family out of millions and steal their ownership interest in the music legend’s former Memphis home, Graceland, prosecutors announced. Lisa Jeanine Findley, who is also known by Lisa Holden and a slew of other aliases, 53, was charged with mail fraud and aggravated identity theft in a criminal complaint unsealed Friday, prosecutors announced.
She’ll make her initial court appearance today in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri. Prosecutors say she allegedly orchestrated a scheme for the fraudulent sale of Graceland. In the plot, she allegedly falsely claimed Elvis Presley’s daughter — Lisa Marie Presley, who died in January 2023 — had pledged Graceland as collateral for a loan she failed to repay before her death, created false documents and sought to extort a settlement from the Presley family.
