What appeared the full on purloin of one of America’s most famous heirlooms ground to a halt after a Missouri woman was arrested for allegedly hatching a brazen scheme to defraud Elvis Presley’s family out of millions of dollars in real estate.
Lisa Findley of Kimberling City attempted to auction off the Rock and Roll king’s signature Graceland property despite not having any claim to the estate, the US Justice Department announced Friday.
Prosecutors have accused Findley, 53, of falsely claiming that Presley’s only child, Lisa Marie Presley, pledged Graceland to her as collateral for a $3.8 million loan, which had not repaid prior to her death in January 2023.
Findley charged with mail fraud and aggravated identity theft, made her initial court appearance Friday in Missouri federal court.

In a statement announcing the arrest on charges of mail fraud and aggravated identity theft. Nicole Argentieri, the head of DOJ’s criminal division said, “As part of the brazen scheme, we allege that the defendant created numerous false documents and sought to extort a settlement from the Presley family.”
Prosecutors allege that Findley, who also goes by the names Lisa Holden, Lisa Howell and Gregory Naussany, used different personas to fabricate fake loan documents for the fictitious company – Naussany Investments & Private Lending LLC (Naussany Investments) – supposedly behind the agreement with Lisa Marie Presley.
To settle the purported claim of $2.85 million that she was seeking from the Presley family, she then published a fraudulent foreclosure notice for Graceland in The Commercial Appeal, one of Memphis’s daily newspapers, announcing that Naussany Investments planned to auction the property to the highest bidder on May 23.
When news of the foreclosure hit, the Presley family immediately filed a lawsuit to blocking the sale allegedly approved by a court.

At the time, Lisa Marie Presley’s daughter, Riley Keough, said the company behind the foreclosure had no right to it, arguing the loan was fake and not executed by her mother.
A Tennessee court eventually ruled to halt the sale and launched an investigation into the matter after questions were raised about the deed’s signature and authenticity.
When Naussany Investments was sued by the Presley’s family in Tennessee state court as part of an effort to stop the sale of Graceland, Findley allegedly submitted false court filings, DOJ said in the statement.

Findley charged with mail fraud and aggravated identity theft, made her initial court appearance Friday in Missouri federal court.
In a June interview outside her home, Findley denied any involvement or knowledge of a scam involving Graceland. 
The Graceland scheme first became public in May after a company without any records or evidence that it existed at all, Naussany Investments, filed a court claim that Lisa Marie Presley, Elvis’ only child owed millions of dollars in unpaid loans.
The subject of the claim died in January 2023.

As the scheme garnered global attention, Findley allegedly wrote to representatives of Elvis Presley’s family, the Tennessee state court, and the media to claim falsely that the person responsible for the scheme was an identity thief located in Nigeria, DOJ said.
However, investigation of the scam by FBI revealed that Findley forged names, signatures, and notary seals to create fake loan documents, according to the charging documents
Investigators tracking telephone and email records discovered that Findley had called the Shelby County Register’s Office, where the fake Graceland deed was filed.
Continuing the subterfuge, Findley used burner emails connected to her phone number to submit notices of the foreclosure to a Memphis newspaper. Furthermore, bank records for the account number provided for payment by Naussany Investments was actually Findley’s personal checking account.
