MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A Missouri woman who tried to use a fake company and forged documents to sell off Elvis Presley's Graceland for millions of dollars in a brazen and unrealistic foreclosure sale of the home-turned-museum was sentenced Tuesday to more than four years in federal prison.
She then threatened to sell Graceland to the highest bidder if Presley’s family didn’t pay a $2.85 million settlement, according to authorities.
Graceland served as Presley's home in Memphis before he died in August 1977 at the age of 42.
The public notice for the foreclosure sale of the 13-acre estate said Promenade Trust, which controls the Graceland museum, owed $3.8 million after failing to repay a 2018 loan.
Actor Riley Keough, Presley’s granddaughter, inherited the trust and ownership of the home after the death of her mother, Lisa Marie Presley.
