MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A shocking plan to defraud Elvis Presley’s family and auction off Graceland was stopped in its tracks.
A Missouri woman now admits she was behind the scheme and is pleading guilty to a federal charge.
It all happened in a downtown Memphis courtroom where no phones or cameras were allowed.
When the judge asked if Lisa Findley was admitting guilt and accepting responsibility, she ultimately responded “Yes.”

Flocks of fans visit Graceland daily in Memphis to celebrate the “King of Rock n Roll.”
So, on Tuesday when Lisa Findley changed her plea from not guilty to guilty in federal charges accusing her of scheming to defraud Elvis Presley’s family out of millions.
“It’s a shame people would do that,” said Graceland visitor Alexis Chambers. “What is the purpose? (Does she) think she’s going to get a lot of money?”
Findley has now pleaded guilty to mail fraud. Her aggravated identity theft charge will now be dropped.
With her decision to take a plea, Judge John Fowlkes informed her that she will no longer have the right to a jury trial or the option to appeal.
“I’m glad she ended up getting consequences for it,” said Graceland visitor Katie Sexton.
Findley is set to be sentenced on June 19.
She would have faced up to 20 years if convicted, but she is expected to receive less than that under the plea deal.
