28 OCT 2026 · Imagine trying to steal one of America’s most famous historic estates using fake loan documents, forged signatures, and a fictitious lending company.
In 2024, an alleged real estate fraud scheme targeting Graceland, Elvis Presley’s iconic former home in Memphis, Tennessee, shocked the public. Lisa Jeanine Findley falsely claimed that Lisa Marie Presley had secured a $3.8 million loan using Graceland as collateral. After Lisa Marie’s death, the scheme allegedly threatened the Presley family with foreclosure and a public auction unless they settled the supposed debt.
In this episode of Behind the Scanner, we investigate:

• The Auction Threat: How the scheme sought to pressure the Presley family into paying millions of dollars.
• The Investigation: How authorities uncovered the fraud, stopped the attempted sale, and brought the case to court.
In February 2025, Findley pleaded guilty to mail fraud. In September 2025, she was sentenced to 57 months in federal prison.
How close did the scheme come to succeeding? And how did investigators expose an attempt to take control of one of America’s most recognizable estates?
