On May 19, a 460-word notice appeared in Memphis's daily newspaper announcing that Elvis Presley's legendary Graceland estate was being foreclosed on - and that four days later, the National Historical Landmark visited by more than 20 million tourists would be sold in front of the county courthouse.
Prosecutors allege that a Missouri woman hatched a 'brazen scheme' to try to steal Graceland from the King of Rock-and-Roll's heirs and threatened to sell it if they didn't pay millions of dollars.
'Graceland is a national treasure,' the U.S. attorney for the Western District of Tennessee Kevin Ritz said in a news release. 'This defendant allegedly used a brazen scheme to try to defraud the Presley family of their interest in this singularly important landmark.'
