Jesse called tonight and we enjoyed speaking as always. He has tried to call me a number of times but has had technical problems with his phone. Sometimes it rings just once and then cuts off the call before we can speak which is really frustrating. Needless to say, I was so happy and thankful that we were able to speak tonight.
He is doing all right now after recovering from the flu which he had a couple of weeks ago. He asked about my eye and we spent some time discussing that. As always, it made my day to hear his voice and know that he is OK.

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 3, 2019
Jesse called again tonight because he was interrupted and had to hang up before we were through with our conversation last night. We had more time to speak tonight and had an enjoyable visit just talking about a number of different things. I just thought everyone would be happy to know that he is fine and so very thoughtful to call me again. I sure could get used to this…calls every day would be amazing!! Sure did brighten my day!!

It is my humble opinion, as an Elvis fan since 1956, that this precious recording should only be on prominent display in Graceland and should have been bought by EPE when it was auctioned off.
Elvis’ first single
In 2015, an acetate recording of the first songs Elvis Presley ever recorded sold at auction for $300,000 to an unnamed bidder — who turned out to be White.
After a painstaking digital transfer at the Country Music Hall of Fame, Third Man released a single of the Elvis Recordings on vinyl for Record Store Day.

Published on Apr 9, 2015
Elvis Presley’s “My Happiness” b/w “That’s When Your Heartaches Begin” 7″ vinyl is available here: https://thirdmanstore.com/my-happines…
In June of 1953, Elvis Presley made his first ever recording directly to acetate at Sun Studios in Memphis, TN. This one-of-a-kind piece of music history was recently purchased by Jack White at auction. On February 26th, 2015, Jack White met with legendary music archivist Alan Stoker at the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville, TN to have this “holy grail of rock n roll” digitally transferred, so Third Man Records could repress it for the masses. A facsimile of this record, using this transfer without alteration, was available on Record Store Day, April 18th, 2015. A cleaned-up and re-mastered version of this recording is available as a 7″ on Third Man Records.

I just posted a new item on my Facebook pages and I want to share it on here also. I know this material is not new to my visitors who have followed my original website for years. So, I am sharing it for those who may be newcomers to the truth which I have been sharing on my site for almost ten years.
Here is the copy of my new post on Facebook:
I want to direct those who doubt the truth of my website, my material, my friendship with Elvis (who IS Jesse), etc. to the following page of my website. Wanda June Hill who was a very close and dear friend to Elvis for 15 years before he left in 1977 became a very good friend to me. She knows that Jesse really is Elvis and she wrote several statements endorsing my website and the validity of Jesse being Elvis. She wrote the statements specifically for me to display on my website. She also wrote a statement that she gave me permission to use anything she shared with me on my website.
Wanda is a beautiful person with a true heart of honesty and continued love of her friend, Elvis. She has been a true friend to me also and I treasure all of the time she and I spent on the phone and in Emails. I am very blessed to have become a personal friend with Wanda.
For those who are not familiar with Wanda June Hill, you will see on my website page that she has written two of the best books ever written about Elvis. Every fan who truly loves Elvis and cares about the man, the person, and not just the image should read Wanda’s two books. I first read them in 1990 and have treasured them ever since.
I believe visiting this page of my website will be a learning experience for those who doubt the truth told by myself and Jesse on my website. Please do take the time to visit and read this page in its entirety.
Thank you very much,
Linda

by Wanda June Hill (Author)
This book has been re-released and revised with additional sections added,because after 25 years, Elvis’ dignity has been torn up time after time, by people who didn’t know him, judged him and what he stood for by their own imperfections, desires and delusions for what ever gain they received. He has been one of the most misunderstood and vilified entertainers of his time and for the most part after his death. In this book, We Remember, Elvis many people who did know him, who had personal contact with the man, more than the entertainer have come together to tell their stories and in doing so, let Elvis reveal himself in ways he never was allowed to do while living.

Memphis all shook up by threat to move Graceland to Japan
- THE TIMES
In the midst of a dispute with the city of Memphis, the man who manages Elvis Presley’s former home and the surrounding attractions made an extraordinary threat: Graceland might leave Memphis and find a new place to dwell.
“We had an offer ten days ago to move Graceland to Japan,” Joel Weinshanker, managing director of Elvis Presley Enterprises, said. “We had two offers to move to the Middle East and one [to move] to China. They offered us more profit than we could ever make in Memphis.”
The idea that Graceland could be dismantled and shipped overseas, like the old London Bridge that was sent to Arizona, has been forestalled, however, by an expected deal that would grant tax incentives on a $US100 million expansion.
There would be a hangar for Elvis’s planes, an enlarged guesthouse for visitors and a club modelled on the carpet-walled Jungle Room, an eccentrically decorated living room in Elvis’s mansion. The city council is expected to approve the deal this month.
It had been held up by concerns over a 6000-seat concert arena planned in the expansion.
The city had previously agreed that it would only allow for the use of public funds on a single concert venue, an arena that is also the home of the local basketball team.
A lawyer for Mr Weinshanker’s company told the Memphis Business Journal last week that the agreement reached with the city would preclude the use of funds from tax incentives on the new concert arena.
Mr Weinshanker said that Graceland already had a soundstage where it could hold concerts and a 500-seat theatre inside a newly built guesthouse, that has replaced the elderly Heartbreak Hotel. The concert arena “will be done by 2022”, he said on Monday.
“We have a deal with Live Nation, we will have about fifty concerts a year.”
He acknowledged that it was rather unlikely that Graceland would have been moved. “No matter how famous Elvis got, no matter how much money he made, he always came back to Memphis,” he added.
He said that dollars $US750,000 from the tax break scheme would be reinvested into a local community project. Mr Weinshanker, 48, said that this was in keeping with the spirit of the King: when he was alive “he would go down to the gates, there would be 50 people waiting for him, he would say: ‘Let’s go to the movie theatre,’ and he would pay for their tickets, buy them all popcorn,” he said.
An archivist had found plans suggesting that he had hoped to build a guesthouse too, Mr Weinshanker said, but he added: “It wasn’t as big as the one we built.”
Under the expansion plan the guesthouse, which has 450 rooms, would get another 150.
The hangar for Elvis’s planes would also function as a party space, he said. “We get all the time people wanting to have parties at Graceland.”
He said Elvis’s daughter, Lisa Marie Presley, 51, was “very involved” in the project. “When she knows what is happening, she has this little smirk. It’s the way Elvis would have done it,” he said. “When she speaks, you are looking at her dad.”
After the White House, Graceland is said to be the most-visited private home in the US, drawing 600,000 people last year. It was opened to the public in 1982, five years after the death of Elvis, and as the mansion became a place of pilgrimage, Elvis Presley Enterprises took over the shopping centre across the road, which was steadily filling up with souvenir shops.
Lisa Marie Presley still owns the mansion and its gardens, but has made it permanently available to Elvis Presley Enterprises, in which she has a share. Mr Weinshanker took over the company in 2013.

This is a wonderful article which Larry Geller wrote on his Facebook page. As you will see this article is all about Jesse and Elvis. When reading this, I believe you will better understand why Elvis chose to end his life as the superstar image “Elvis” in order to give Jesse 42 years of life just as Elvis had.
Jesse & Elvis
How does one convey in two-dimensional print a multidimensional person such as Elvis? To begin with, from all the stories and insights that he shared with me over the years, it soon became obvious that he was truly a prankster from birth, always out for a gentle practical joke, ready to laugh at anything funny and to make anyone else laugh if he could. Life was never bland or boring around him. Perhaps it was because of this “child” within him that he could be such a good friend to all those around him.
Elvis never played any role halfheartedly, but threw himself fully into everything he did, no matter how minor. There was not a phony bone in his body; he never put on airs. He was not conceited; he was in awe of what was within him.
And as destiny would have it, the perfect, intriguing element had been added to his life, another riddle embedded in Elvis’ complex spirit – his unspoken relationship with his still-born twin brother, Jesse Garon. This remained a deeply rooted precious mystery to Elvis, an indelible part of his life. But then, Elvis was always intrigued by the mystery that lay at the heart of all existence.
When it came to Jesse Garon, he confided in me that as a child he would talk about him to anyone who would listen. “I have a brother!” he announced proudly, telling everyone how close they were, and how they talked together all the time. At night, as he lay in his bed in the dark and silence of his room, he would have special conversations with Jesse, and later tell people what his brother had said to him.
I knew Elvis had a stillborn twin brother; my own younger twin sisters had told me about it after they read a story about him in a movie magazine. It was only after we met, in April of 1964, that I came to realize how deeply Elvis had been affected by this unfulfilled relationship.
“I’ll tell ya, Larry, being a twin has always been a mystery for me. I mean, we were in our mother’s womb together; so why was he born dead and not me? He never even got his chance to live. Think about it, why me? Why was I the one that was chosen? An’ I’ve always wondered what would’ve been if he had lived, I really have. I mean, if he would’ve survived what would have happened? Would we be known as the Presley twins? Would he be the one who would have made it…not me? These kinds of questions tear my head up. There’s gotta be reasons for all this.”
This was our very first conversation. I was a virtual stranger, yet for some reason Elvis felt that he wanted to bare his soul about Jesse Garon. I learned over the years that this was one aspect of his life about which he rarely if ever spoke. But on this particular afternoon he opened the floodgates freely, revealing something so intimate that it was obvious he was deeply burdened by the notion that he might have survived at the expense of his twin.
Elvis sat in silence for a moment, his eyes fixed on the ground, then looked up at me. “Larry, listen, I’m going to tell you something, and it might even sound strange, but it’s something I’ve secretly thought about before. Maybe, maybe it was me. Maybe it was something I did, ya know? Maybe when we were in the womb together we were fighting like Jacob and his twin, like it says in the Bible. Man, that story always stuck with me. Maybe I was like Jacob who tried to stop his brother from being born first. Hey, I’m just saying…anything’s possible.”
I learned so much about Elvis that first afternoon: his freedom of expression, his willingness to explore, and most of all his vulnerability. I’ve always felt that throughout his life he reached out for the brother he never had the chance to know; the seed was always there. He called us his “family.” Yet at all times, even when he felt betrayed, he felt a deep concern for the very ones who hurt him most. And in a curious way the guys were a composite of his twin – but never really a replacement.
It wasn’t until 1977, just a few months before Elvis’ death, that I heard him bring up Jesse again after all those years. One day while we were on tour, I entered his room while he was still in bed.
“Lawrence”, Elvis declared excitedly, “You won’t believe this wild dream I just had. Man, I mean it was so real. An’ I can’t remember dreaming about my brother Jesse Garon since I was a little kid. But there we were, the two of us – together on stage. Seemed like thousands an’ thousands of people in the audience, and they were all screaming at us. It was wild! And we were dressed alike, both of us were wearing white jumpsuits, and we were both playing matching guitars slung around our shoulders. There were two blue spotlights, one shining on him, one on me. An’ I kept looking at him, and man, he was the spitting image of me.
I’ll tell you something else Lawrence…” Elvis grinned. “Jesse had a way better voice than me.”

For the record, while we have received numerous offers, neither has anyone ever threatened nor have we considered moving Graceland.
Re: “Graceland eyes Japan because … money,” by Ryan Poe, Commercial Appeal
It’s an undeniable fact that Elvis Presley loved Memphis, and he loved his Whitehaven neighborhood.
My personal love affair with Memphis began on Nov. 13, 1992.
As a brash, young band manager, one of my bands had played the Mid-South Coliseum and we were offered a private tour of Graceland.
Having to be in another city the next day, we asked if we could have an early tour before Graceland opened to the public. I entered the front door of the mansion first, only to be startled by Elvis’ Aunt Delta, who still lived in the home. She immediately admonished me for being in the house so early.
Once we got past this uncomfortable yet memorable moment, the band and I were taken through the mansion and the annex. I was truly humbled.
Elvis could have lived anywhere, but he chose Memphis
Elvis lived a life bigger than any other, but I was touched by his apparent love of community, his love of his city. I was moved by all he had done for Memphis charities during his lifetime.
Elvis could have lived anywhere in the world. He chose to live, to love and to have a child in the only city he ever called home. From that day forward, I knew I would return to Memphis, and in some capacity to work with the King.
Five years ago, when I became the managing partner of Graceland, a Memphis reporter asked, “Now that you’ve completed this transaction, what’s your out plan (when will you sell and leave)?” The question had never entered my mind. After a few awkward moments my only and honest response was “my death.”
I had known from the moment I stepped through the mansion’s front door, this was where I wanted to be, where I wanted to expend my efforts for the rest of my life. I committed myself to carry on Elvis’ legacy, his unparalleled charity and to support the things that were truly important to him.
I continue to receive counsel from those who knew him best, and I am proud to call Lisa Marie and Priscilla my friends. As time has passed, I’ve added a number of community leaders and politicians to those from whom I seek regular counsel. To these individuals, I thank you for your continued wisdom and perspective.
We have invested too much in Whitehaven and it has yielded success
Over the years, many have attempted to spin my motives and goals. Today, I emphatically state that my desire was, is and will always be aligned with Elvis’ — to uplift Graceland, to enrich the community and to elevate all of Memphis.
When we first tried to secure financing for the Guest House at Graceland — the largest new hotel construction in Memphis in 90 years — we were met with resistance.
No bank in the United States would consider taking the risk. They scoffed at building a large luxury hotel in Whitehaven. No one thought it was a good bet. The only way the project was able to move forward was with me personally guaranteeing the loan.
My assets, including my home, were used as collateral. No check was ever written by the City of Memphis, Shelby County or the state of Tennessee. If the hotel venture failed, as predicted by every banker and many large players in the hospitality industry, I would have been the only financial loser.
The results have been promising, and very beneficial to the city and county. In 2017, Memphis and Shelby County received more than $2.5 million in new taxes from the construction of the Guest House, and the numbers continue to improve.
And for the record, while we have received numerous offers, neither has anyone ever threatened nor have we considered moving Graceland. The question has been how we can expand Graceland in Memphis to compete with the even larger destination attractions to the east.
I will keep working with local leaders to bring jobs and create solutions
Recently, a number of publications have reported this false claim. We know these to be instigated by a few that would like to forget the promises made to Graceland — promises that were abandoned the moment Jason Wexler and the Grizzlies complained about the proposed arena in Whitehaven.
It should be noted that an arena of this capacity would not have competed with the FedEx Forum, but more with the Landers Center and Snowden Grove Amphitheater in Mississippi. Both of these venues are currently profiting from dollars that should remain in our city.
One of my counselors brought to me the idea of the City Council bringing to the courts for a clarification of the contract that has caused this disagreement. This would alleviate the city of any liability, and I believe that it is a wonderful idea.
In closing, I want to emphasize my unwavering belief and support in my community of Whitehaven and its future.
I have personally committed funds to bring new manufacturing jobs and opportunities to the community. I will continue to work side by side with its leaders to find solutions for its issues.
Joel Weinshanker is the managing partner of Graceland.

Yesterday I received a lovely gift package from Jesse. I am sharing the photos of the two gifts below along with his enclosed envelope to me. The note he wrote is mostly private, so I won’t share a copy of that.

TUESDAY, APRIL 16, 2019
This month is the 27th anniversary of my very first contact from Elvis/Jesse. As I have done in some years past, I want to share the images of my very first two post cards from him. I treasure every single thing I have ever received from him and have kept it all safe.
I cannot express the absolute joy and ecstasy I felt when I read the first card and then the second one. It really touched my heart so deeply when I read that he had written “…you have waited long enough.“. He knew about my newsletters which is the reason for the first contact I had from a man who was in touch with him. That man told me, in his first phone call, “He really liked your newsletters.” That man introduced me to another man who was friends with Elvis and he asked Elvis to contact me. And the rest is history…over a quarter century of friendship. I have been so very blessed.

Elvis back in Las Vegas with ‘Heartbreak Hotel’ at Harrah’s
The Kats! Bureau at this writing is Harrah’s Showroom, where “Elvis Presley’s Heartbreak Hotel in Concert” is performing its final rehearsal before opening for previews.
“Heartbreak” runs 8 p.m. Wednesdays through Mondays with added 3 p.m. matinees on Sundays. But I can already report that the Elvis lead, Eddie Clendening, is s killer performer and this backing band smokes.
There is live music, all over the stage, with design by Vegas favorite Andy Walmsley. Nice work on the lighted, dual staircase and the stage’s LED/neon trimming.
So far, we’ve heard spirited performances of “All Shook Up,” That’s All Right,” and the production’s title song. Authorized by Authentic Brands Group, which owns Elvis Presley Enterprises, the show rolls along as a concert, with occasional narrative to tell the Presley story.
Clendening toggles between performing as Elvis, and reciting Presley factoids outside the character. It’s not a true “book” show. It’s a dang good rehearsal, though. Give it one star just for the segments of “It’s Now Or Never,” performed in 20 different languages, with the screens showing a host of Elvis tribute artists from around the world. Priceless.
I love the live, electric quality of the six musicians and three backing singers. It’s Elvis, and it swings pretty well. I’d suggest clear these theater seats and give this show a real dance-hall vibe, but … this seems more a seated demographic. This is starting to sound like a full review; I’ll stop until this vehicle is really ready to roll. But I feel I’ll be back.

Below is a petition being circulated to get the voice on the Elvis Found Alive CD analyzed on live TV. I am sharing it here in order that everyone may see how far off base the organizer of this petition is.
The organizer’s introduction of the petition has gone all over the Internet and brought in so many other recordings which have been put out to give the impression that they are done by Elvis; or else listeners have just taken someone else’s recordings and started the rumor that it is really Elvis.
Had the organizer stuck to only the “Elvis Found Alive” DVD and CD, the readers of the petition may have taken it seriously. As is, it is a wild goose chase.
Needless to say, I certainly will NOT be signing this petition. The reason that I have chosen to post it here is in hopes that none of my visitors will sign it either.
We have Jesse’s own word that he recorded the songs and that they used his voice on the DVD. I consider this petition to be a very foolish and insulting action.
I want to thank my friend, Lisa J. who brought this petition to my attention.

Elvis Is Back Rap From The ELVIS FOUND ALIVE Cd
Richard Carson
JAN 23, 2019 —
Here is a fun track from the ELVIS FOUND ALIVE Cd. This time they took pieces from the interview from the Dvd and put them to music . This is just a very small taste of what is to be found In the 2012 interview that can be heard on the Dvd . Some people today have been sharing this Dvd and Cd for years now . Some people still do not believe it is Elvis that is heard on this Dvd and Cd . I find that most people who do not believe will not open up to the possibility that Elvis Presley really could of faked his death back in 1977 . For others who do believe it is clear that Elvis is alive and why he had to do what he did . The Truth that Elvis is Alive started coming out many years before this Cd and Dvd was ever released . In fact it was on the news at the time we were told Elvis died that people who had worked at the hospital said it was not Elvis’s body that was brought in to the hospital . You can go all the way back and start to put together a time line of sightings , new songs , clues , and solid scientific evidence showing that Elvis did not die . It is also known that Elvis testified in court against some mobsters at the time the world was told Elvis died . If you just go back to 2001 to now you can piece together enough to show that Elvis is really alive, that should prove it once and for all in any court room . In 2001 there was a Cd set offered on tv called Kingtinued . Even with us being told it was another man ‘ Doug Church singing the songs, a News Team out of Las Vegas did a story on the Cd. The Las Vegas News team showed that it was Elvis Presley singing songs on the Cd’s that was written years after 1977. Voice Analysis test proved at that time that Elvis had lived past 1977 . A cd called elvis patriot was also released in 2001 after the events of 911 . This cd from 2001 had all lower case letters on the Cd cover . Then a line of merchandise came out as well called elvis LIVES . This time they used lower case letters for elvis and capital letters for LIVES . The message was clear with this 2 part clue . Then a year later Fox News started covering a story that Elvis was alive and they continued to cover the story until 2008 . In 2008 Fox News from Memphis TN told everyone that Elvis is Still Alive and DNA test do not lie. After the broadcast from Memphis the story was dropped and we heard no more about Elvis being alive in the news. The story did not stop there in 2009 we got a movie called Lonely Street that was full of clues that showed us that it was real and Elvis really was alive . In 2010 a Cd “VIVA ELVIS THE ALBUM ” was released that was produced by Priscilla Presley that had a photo of Elvis on stage around 2010 that was hidden in the Cd booklet . You can also hear a much older Elvis on parts of the Cd as well as new recordings of classic Elvis songs . When 2012 came we got the truth with the ELVIS FOUND ALIVE Cd and Dvd. This set had to be released in a way that people had to decide if they believed if it was real or not. Now seven years later many fans know the truth and many fans will not even watch to see what was given at that time . It was only three weeks later that we got the Kingtinuing Cd and even with the Cd being release as a fantasay concert Cd and them saying that this is what Elvis would sound like if he had lived. They gave everyone enough to see the Truth that it was Elvis singing on the Cd. The Kingtinuing Cd trailer even said it is Elvis singing on the Cd . Today in 2019 still many fans will not allow there self to believe that Elvis is really alive and go out of there way to make it hard for people to see the truth . I hope that this petition will help everyone discover that not only is Elvis really alive he has been giving a lot so we can know the truth . Please share this with family and friends and encourage everyone to take part and sign this petition . I hope the truth is revealed in the very near future so everyone will finally be aware of what really happened and why it happened the way it did
Footnote: After pasting this petition, it dawned on me who the person behind this petition effort is. He goes by the name “Lucky Carson” and owns a YouTube channel on which he has been pedaling his scattered and misguided efforts to prove that Elvis is alive for years. I believe that I had a small run in with him many years ago. He has lifted material from my web site and also from my YouTube channel which, of course, has irked me. So, his reputation preceeds him. Please don’t be lead astray by his rambling collection of less-than-accurate information.
This is the title of his YouTube channel:
Knights Of The Kings Realm
Here is his video about this petition. You will see his lies in this video. He states that the Elvis Found Alive DVD and CD was pulled from store shelves and it can no longer be bought therefore most people over the world don’t know about it.
THIS IS AN OUTRIGHT LIE!!!
This DVD and CD has NEVER been made unavailable. It has ALWAYS been available on Amazon.com, on the Highway 61 web site and, I am sure, on many other Internet sites. It is available to this very day. One can buy the DVD and CD for a total price of about $20.00.
Here is the current display on Amazon: @ https://smile.amazon.com/s?k=Elvis+Found+Alive&i=popular&ref=nb_sb_noss_2
After seeing the inaccuracies presented in this video, I could not sit by and not speak out the truth. So, I just posted the following comment in response to this video on YouTube. I have every idea that it will be deleted. So, I have copied the statement which I posted so that my visitors may see that I did try to present the truth to counteract the lies on this video and his channel. His huge YouTube channel is full of misleading information.

I want to wish everyone a very happy and blessed Easter weekend. The below beautiful greeting was created for me years ago by a dear friend.

My longest and closest friend, M. J., sent me the following letter which appeared in a fan club publication back in 1977. This letter pertains to the book “Elvis, What Happened?” which was written based upon the reports of Red West, Sonny West and Dave Hebler as told to Steve Dunleavy. As you will see this letter was written by Elvis’ father, Vernon Presley, who sent it out to some fan clubs in July, 1977.
M. J. came across this old newsletter while doing some cleaning and though that perhaps it would be something that my visitors would like seeing.
I won’t even say one word about my opinion of that nasty little book. Just know that I appreciated reading Mr. Presley’s letter which sums up the situation about that book quite well.
I thank M. J. for sharing this with all of us.

Thank goodness there is someone out there checking out fake stories such as the one below about “Jessie” being the homeless man found dead in San Diego several years ago.
Fake News: Body Of Homeless Man Found In San Diego Has NOT Been Identified As Elvis Presley
- by: Alan Duke
- 20 hours ago (Sun, 21 Apr 2019 22:19:12 Z)
Was the body of a homeless man found in San Diego identified as Elvis Presley? No, that’s not true: it is a hoax started by a known fake news site in 2015, but copied and shared many times in the years since by others on social media platforms. Elvis left the building in 1977 and he has not been hiding out at A Burger King or as homeless man.
The story was shared in a post (archived here) published on May 7, 2015 datelined San Diego, California. It opened:
Earlier this month, an 80-year-old, homeless, white-bearded man was found deceased under an overpass in San Diego, California. Nobody knew the man’s name, but friends referred to him as Jessie, so investigators decided to try DNA testing with hopes that something would pop up in the nationwide DNA database. What popped up on the computer screen in the high-tech lab stunned everyone. The DNA results of ‘Jessie Doe’ were an exact match to the one and only, Elvis Aaron Presley.
There are many ways to know this story is fake, but let’s start with the original source. It was first published by Empire News on January 31, 2015. Click here to see the story. That is a good clue. Empire News describes itself as fictional:
Empire News is intended for entertainment purposes only. Our website and social media content uses only fictional names, except in cases of public figure and celebrity parody or satirization. Any other use of real names is accidental and coincidental.
Another big clue is the reference to the homeless corpse being matched to Elvis through a DNA database. Forensic investigators access the Combined DNA Index System (CODIS), which was not established until 2002. It had the DNA of just 1 million people by 2015 when the story claims the Elvis match was made. There would be no reason for DNA from Presley, who died in 1977, to be entered into CODIS.
The fake story has been copied and shared many times in recent years, including this post:
*If you want to know where Elvis really is, visit Graceland in Memphis, Tennessee. He is buried in a family graveyard next to the mansion.
*Linda’s own note here:
THIS IS WHERE THE AUTHOR WENT A STEP TOO FAR!!!! Ha, ha!!!

“Wedding at Graceland“ has begun production.
Kellie Pickler is back in the building. The actress will return to Hallmark for a sequel to her Christmas hit movie, Christmas in Graceland. Wedding at Graceland has begun production, Us Weekly can exclusively reveal.
Christmas at Graceland, which was Hallmark’s highest-rated film of 2018, was filmed in Memphis, Tennessee, and the sequel is shooting there as well, with much of the principal photography taking place in the late Elvis Presley’s mansion.
Pickler and Wes Brown are reprising their roles as Laurel and Clay, respectively. Additionally, the sequel will feature a cameo by Priscilla Presley, former wife of the legendary singer. In the film, the Elvis and Me author, 73, will share a fond memory of her May 1967 wedding to the King of Rock and Roll.
The TV movie will also include a special performance by Lee Brice and will air on June 1, as the kickoff for Hallmark’s annual June Weddings franchise.
In the movie, Laurel, a single mother to Emma, is surprised when Clay proposes at the Graceland estate. She accepts but they quickly realize they have two options if they want to get married at Graceland Chapel: waiting 18 months for an opening or marrying there in three weeks due to a cancellation. On top of that, Laurel’s dad and stepmother couldn’t be more different to Clay’s parents.
“When you have Kellie Pickler, Wes Brown, Priscilla Presley, Lee Brice, Elvis’ unforgettable music, and Graceland, a dream location for a marriage ceremony, Wedding at Graceland promises to be the best day of your life,” Michelle Vicary, executive VP of the programming and publicity for Crown Media Family Network, said in a statement.
Wedding at Graceland airs on Hallmark Channel Saturday, June 1, at 8 p.m. ET.

Below is a second interview with Louise Smith who is the widow of Elvis’ first cousin Gene Smith. I posted one interview with her not too long ago which was done this same day but by a different interviewer.

SENT TO JESSE THROUGH THIS POINT

Below is a note/prayer of despair which Elvis wrote in late 1976. This is NOT a suicide note…just a note expressing his misery with his life at that point in time. Those around him who insist to this day that “he loved being Elvis Presley” were either so caught up in their own sinful lives to even notice that he was drowning in despair or simply cared not about him at all except for the source of their income and lifestyle.
This note expresses exactly what Jesse told me himself “The last two years of my life (as the image) were pure misery.“
<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>
I would ask that everyone, please, go back and listen to the statements made by Mrs. Louise Smith in the above video interview. You will hear her say that Elvis stated words to the effect that he was the most miserable S.O.B. in the world because he could not even go out and do the things that those around him could do.
Also, listen to her description of Elvis during their final visit to Graceland about two weeks before he left. Also, please view once more below the excerpt from Gene Smith’s book about that same last visit in which Elvis told Gene how unhappy he was.
The copy below is from my original web site page devoted to Gene Smith.
Here you will see another page from Gene Smith’s book, which is described in more detail farther below on this page. You will see that Elvis invited Gene and Gene’s wife Louise to Graceland early in August, 1977. The private words which Elvis spoke to Gene are VERY significant. Elvis told Gene the same thing that he had spoken to a number of other people “…so tired of being Elvis Presley“. I am certain that Elvis knew this would be the last time that he would see Gene…a “goodbye” visit…and a “goodbye” comment.
Please visit my full page devoted to Gene Smith on my original web site.
Please bear all of this in mind the next time you hear some fan say “Oh, he wouldn’t have done this to his fans.“
Fans can be very selfish in their expectations and assumptions.
