Memphis woman Eliza Presley seeks DNA test to prove she's Elvis's sister: In the three decades since the death of Elvis Presley in a Graceland bathroom spawned a generation of conspiracy theorists, legions of supposed love children have made claims on the King. The majority have quickly been exposed as scams, hoaxes or the delusions of obsessed fans. Never before has a court found sufficient evidence to reopen the music legend's estate, as a Tennessee judge has now ordered, in the bizarre case of a Memphis woman claiming to be half-sister to The King - who, she says, is very much alive. Eliza A Presley - an adopted name - says she has DNA evidence that the rock 'n' roll legend lives on, and that they share the same father. Faced with the refusal of Elvis's closest living relative, his daughter Lisa Marie, to provide a DNA sample, she has launched a lawsuit to force her claim to be examined. Her success so far is the talk of a city which has never quite got over the loss of its favourite son. The roots of the case date back to 2002, when a Kansas City psychiatrist claimed to have been treating Elvis, now using the name of his stillborn twin brother, Jesse Garon Presley. The allegation was picked up by a local Fox station, Fox 8 News, which attempted to match a DNA sample provided by the man claiming to be Jesse to that of Elvis. A Memphis businessman and collector stepped forward with some of Elvis' medical records, including tissue samples from two liver biopsies and his post-mortem. The samples were sent for testing and came back negative - but not just between Jesse and Elvis. It was also discovered that the DNA from the singer's liver did not match that from his post-mortem, a claim that has supported many of the subsequent web-based theories. Astonishing though this finding appeared to be, it also heralded a dead end for the Fox investigation, or so the station thought. Earlier this year it was contacted by Ms Presley, then Alice Elizabeth Tiffin, who had her own interest in Elvis. Ms Presley had recently discovered that she was adopted, and was casting around for answers. Prompted by friends who saw a likeness between her sons and the Pelvis, she began to wonder if she could possibly be a genuine lovechild. This was not such a leap as might be imagined: her mother had lived close to Graceland in her youth and was friendly with Elvis and his family, a fact documented in newspapers of the day. With the station's help, she began an investigation which soon took some curious turns. First, Ms Presley collected DNA samples from two of Elvis's first cousins, one maternal, one paternal. These were sent to an Arizona lab to be tested against her own DNA, and the sample from the man claiming to be Jesse. Incredibly, Jesse was found to be biologically related to both Elvis cousins , proving, at least in Ms Presley's mind, that he was indeed the King. Then her DNA was tested against Jesse's, and again a match was found. However the relationship was not father-child, but siblings. Finally, Ms Presley's DNA was tested against both cousins. It came back a match for the paternal side, but not the maternal. This final piece of evidence confirmed what Ms Presley now suspected. It was not Elvis Presley who had impregnated her mother: it was his father, Vernon. She was Elvis's half sister. Ms Presley stresses that when she first contacted the station, her only interest was in the Elvis DNA. She had never believed Jesse's claims, assuming that he was just another member of the lunatic legions clamouring for a piece of the Graceland pie. Nor had she given credence to classic Elvis conspiracy theories, with their allusions to the waxlike appearance of the King's corpse and the misspelled name on his tombstone. Now she is a believer. “He has to be [Elvis]. There's no two ways about it. You can't fake the DNA.” But can you? While the respected forensic scientist who tested the DNA, Tony Tambasco, said that the results “look like wow”, he acknowledges that many unrelated people can exhibit similar DNA markers. The only way to prove it irrefutably would be to test Lisa Marie, he said, adding: “The issue could easily be resolved.” Elvis Presley Enterprises said it would not provide a sample because there are so many similar claims that if it did so in this case, it would be obliged to do it for all. Nevertheless it is being forced to defend itself in the courts. Attorney William Bradley said: “Obviously, we would prefer that (the judge) not reopen it but these are matters we will address in court.” And the claims that Elvis is alive? “Just nonsense,” the estate said. Nonsense or not, the case has transfixed Tennessee residents. Chris Thomas, a clerk at the probate court which is handling the suit, said locals are startled at the apparent evidence. “A lot of people have been surprised and curious as to what's there.” However, he added: “All the money's been distributed - there's nothing for this lady to get monetarily.” For her part, Ms Presley insists she is motivated only by the desire to get to know her brother. “I think it would be such a travesty that he really does die and I never get to meet him,” she says. Whether fact or fiction (and it must be noted that Ms Presley's biological mother insists it is the latter) the story has proved fertile ground for fans convinced their idol will one day rise again. In an internet poll conducted by Fox News 8, a clear majority, 56 per cent said they either "absolutely" believed Elvis faked his death, or that he might have done. In their minds at least, the King still lives on. (Source: Times Online) "The issues are still alive and well," the newspaper quoted her lawyer Kathleen Caldwell as saying. "It's not over by a long shot." EIN Comment: It is not clear on what basis the EPE lawyer has discounted the Eliza Presley claim. In this day and age unsupported claims are of little use to those wanting to know the truth. While EIN understands EPE's reluctance to "open the (alleged) floodgates" to ongoing DNA claims, from what we have been told and provided other information on, it appears the Eliza Presley claim will have to be settled by DNA experts in a court of law.
Clark also has suggested that her daughter has undergone plastic surgery in an effort to bolster her claim of kinship. Eliza Presley insisted Monday that she can support her claim and said her mother is not to be believed. "I would love to have these thousands of dollars I've allegedly spent," she said. "I have never had plastic surgery of any kind." Attorney William Bradley Jr., who represents EPE and Lisa Marie Presley Lockwood, said her case has no merit and that over the years there have been a dozen or more people claiming kinship to Elvis, including several Elvis Jrs. Vernon Presley died June 26, 1979, at age 63. According to common belief, Elvis died in 1977.

PS...This is the ONLY time that the Memphis courts have approved of re-opening a Presley estate! The Memphis Commercial Appeal newspaper has also reported on this." New DNA Evidence Could Prove Elvis Is Alive: Did Elvis father any illegitimate children?: As interest in Eliza Presley's claim she is the daughter of Vernon Presley gathers momentum, one fan has asked about any illegitimate offspring fathered by Elvis. Over the years there have been various claims, from Lucy De Barbin to Deborah Presley, Tim Farrell and Elvis Presley Jr., but known have cprovided substantive evidence to support their claims. EIN received the following message: "Thanks for responding so quickly. Truth be told, I am an Elvis fan and I am curious to see if Elvis did father any other children - talent like Elvis' should have transcended generations. As far as DNA testing in regards to siblings, a valid DNA sample from Elvis (or Lisa) is not required. True siblings - those that share both a mother and father - would have about 50% shared DNA; those siblings which share only one biological parent would have about 25% shared DNA. Therefore, a comparative DNA analysis of these "half siblings" to see if they share a biological male parent would have merit. The test is roughly $400/each according to this website (DNA Testing Siblings, Testing brothers and sisters ). However, to get bullet-proof validity, probably having these "illegitimate children" go to at least 3 different reputable DNA labs to be tested would be a good idea. As far as costs for the DNA test, there are so many Elvis fans out there that anyone wanting to contribute to a DNA test fund would not be hard to find. Also, some of these "illegitimate children" may even pay for the tests themselves - I can understand the need of wanting to know who your father is and who are your brothers and sisters. Maybe all these "illegitimate children" need is just someone to coordinate the whole thing for them so that they can come forward and be DNA tested. This DNA sibling test can at least give some credence to the "illegitimate children" claims by showing that they all share the same father. I understand that Elvis (or Lisa) would then have to give DNA to show that Elvis is that "shared father". But with this DNA sibling test coupled with the claims of the mothers (they all can't be lying and there is that facial resemblance in some of the "illegitimate children") - how then, can the world deny that Elvis fathered these children when DNA proves that they are all related to one another through a male biological parent? Your thoughts on this are much appreciated! Signed, An Elvis fan who just wants to know!" (21 Nov 2008)

Don't watch it for me, watch it for him ... (18 Nov 2008) DNA Lab Owner - Elvis is not dead!: The head of an Arizona DNA lab who supports a woman's claim that she's the daughter of Vernon Presley said Friday there's something even more interesting about the case..............Elvis is alive. "I think the DNA taken from the person named Jessie can only be DNA of Elvis Presley," said Donald Yates of DNA Consultants in Scottsdale. "It's from a live person because the DNA is recent. There are a lot of Elvis impersonators, but I don't think you can imitate DNA. It's hard to get your mind around this story." Eliza Presley, a 46-year-old Washington state woman who recently changed her name from Alice Elizabeth Tiffin, said in Probate Court this week that she based her Presley kinship claim in part on a DNA sample sent to her from a Jessie Presley. When asked by attorney William Bradley Jr. if Jessie believes he is Elvis Presley, Eliza replied, "No, actually (he is) Elvis Presley." She did not elaborate and could not be reached Friday. Judge Karen Webster reopened Vernon Presley's estate Wednesday at the request of Eliza's attorney, but made no other finding and did not set another court date. Bradley, however, repeated his assertion that the case has no merit. "After hearing her testimony in court, I'm not at all surprised about her most recent revelations," said Bradley, who represents Elvis Presley Enterprises and Lisa Marie Presley Lockwood. "Many individuals who claim to be related to Elvis Presley have vivid imaginations." Eliza Presley's mother, former Memphian Florence Sharp Clark of Oregon, said she was part of the Elvis social circle for a period, but that she had no child by him or his father. Elvis, who is commonly believed to have died in 1977, would be 73 today. Yates, who has a doctoral degree in history but none in science, said he concluded Eliza is the daughter of Elvis' father, Vernon Presley, and that Jessie is actually Elvis by comparing his DNA with a Presley cousin, a cousin from Elvis' mother's side, Eliza's and several control samples. He said neither he nor Eliza has met the man they believe to be Elvis, but that Eliza has talked to him and that he lives at an undisclosed location in the United States. "I'm an historian and I've never known of a story of a famous person dying and then of rumors being sustained for 25 years that he's still alive," said Yates, who said he also is a former public relations man for Alka Seltzer. "Not throughout human history has a situation like that existed. Jesus Christ died, but he came back pretty quickly." The story of "Jesse" is a long and sordid one. Essentially, since the early days of the Elvis is Alive" theory, a number of people have worked behind the scenes on behalf of "Jesse" to obtain money and prescribed medications. At times it was suggested "Jesse" would reveal his true identity to the world, but then a convenient excuse would surface as to why this wasn't possible. For many years there was a thriving "Elvis underground" pedalling the "Jesse" story, active initially via snail mail correspondence and newsletter, and then Internet based through a numnber of now defunct web sites and messageboards. Photographic evidence of "Jesse" has been unconvincing. EIN has long stated that in our opinion, Elvis died on 16 August, 1977. No substantive evidence/facts that would stand up in a court of law has ever been provided to substantiate the contrary argument. That a belief to the contrary is still held in 2008 pays testament to the power of some fan's emotional and psychological needs. For "Jesse's" DNA evidence to stand up in court will require Elvis Presley Enterprises to provide actual Elvis DNA sample for cross-matching and given the science of DNA testing, quite possibly also 'maternal' DNA relating to Vernon Presley (as the story below suggests). In this latter respect few media outlets have picked up on the other DNA evidence to be offered.......that the DNA tests carried out in Arizona match the genetic make-up of Elvis’ cousin Donna. It is this DNA evidence which is likely to prove the case rather than "Jesse's" DNA.......which is unlikely to be what we are led to believe, and even irrelevant to . There is no doubting Eliza Presley's strong belief that she is right. While Ms Presley had originally thought she may have been Elvis' daughter, the DNA analysis ruled this out. Ms Presley has told EIN she is not after money, but rather the truth about who her father is. As for the statement of her birth mother, EIN is aware there are fractious family issues involved which are currently tainting the situation.

Thus, the lady in question, by virtue of what we were told with the DNA process, could not prove she is a Presley through DNA but would prove who her mother is/was. She would have needed a brother's DNA to prove that Vernon was the father. Obviously, she didn't have that proof. If she has proof that she is Vernon's daughter, someone in the family, or Vernon, himself, may have known this and chose to keep it a secret. Vernon would have been married to Dee at the time this girl was born.

Clark, a former Whitehaven resident who now lives in Oregon, said she never had a relationship with Elvis or Vernon Presley. "A group of my girlfriends and I used to go to Graceland. We knew Elvis. I met Vernon once in a crowd and other than that I don't know Vernon," Clark said. (More details below in yesterday's story) Judge Allows Case of "Elvis Half Sister" to Move Forward: Eliza Presely claims Vernon Presley is her father and says she has DNA evidence to prove it. A Memphis judge says a woman claiming to be Elvis Presley's half sister can make a claim to Vernon Presley's estate. A woman who changed her name to Eliza Presley testified in court Wednesday that she has DNA evidence that Vernon Presley, Elvis' Father, is her father. Eliza Presley's attorney said the DNA evidence has been tested in and retested by various labs and proof is conclusive. Eliza Presley testified about the DNA. But she said she got Elvis' DNA from an envelope given to her by a person named Jesse. She says Jesse is Elvis. Eliza Presley's mother Florence Clark said the story is not true, that she never had a relationship with Elvis or Vernon Presley. The attorney for EP Enterprise says even if Eliza Presley could make a claim to Vernon Presley's estate, the estate isn't worth anything because all the assets are now in a trust to benefit specific family members. (NewsRadio 600 WREC) Elvis has a possible half-sister: Elvis Presley may have a half-sister. According to reports his father had a love child, born to Florence Juanita Sharp, who then gave her daughter up for adoption to a Texas family. The woman, who goes by the name of Eliza Alice Presley (likely to be an assumed name, I doubt her adopted parents named her after her sire) is hoping for a financial settlement from Elvis’ fathers’ estate.
has DNA testing results that prove she is the daughter of Vernon Presley. She has been unavailable for comment, but Donald Yates, head of DNA Consulting in Scottsdale, Ariz., said he has worked on the case for the past five years and that he is "99.99 percent sure" that Eliza and Elvis are half-siblings and that Vernon is their father. He said there was no DNA available from Vernon, but that samples from other Presley family members, including Elvis, were tested. Yates would not say how DNA from Elvis was obtained. According to her court petition, the discovery is the result of a lifelong search to learn the identity of her father. Not so, says her mother. Florence Clark said her daughter has known since age 19 that her father was another Memphis man - she moved to Texas when she learned she was pregnant - and that her daughter has spent time with him in the past. Clark said that as a teen she often hung out at the gates of Graceland and eventually met Elvis and joined his entourage on trips to the movies, to the fairgrounds and to a skating rink. She said she also met Vernon on a few occasions, but that there was no romantic involvement with him or with Elvis, who she said used to call her "Brown Eyes." "That man never touched me, not once, and I'll take any test in the world to prove it," said Clark, who is divorced and has three other grown children. "I have no motive for anything. I just know what the truth is. When she found out I knew Elvis, she started trying to put Elvis as her father. This is the first time I've heard about Vernon." A hearing is set for Wednesday in Probate Court. (News, Source:EIN/MemphisCommercialAppeal, Oct 2008) According to the petition filed in Shelby County Probate Court, Eliza Alice Presley said her mother gave her up for adoption at birth and that after a lifetime search she learned this summer through DNA testing that Vernon Presley was her father. The divorced mother of four then changed her name from Alice Elizabeth Tiffin. "I am 99.99 percent sure that Eliza Presley and Elvis Aaron Presley are half siblings and that she is not related to Elvis Presley's mother's relatives and that can only mean that they share a father," said Donald Yates, head of DNA Consulting in Scottsdale, Ariz., who said he has worked on the case for five years. "There was no DNA from Vernon. The relationship has to be inferred from the DNA from other family members. We're talking about samples from an extended family group." The attorney who handled Vernon Presley's estate was not available for comment and Kevin Kern, spokesman for Graceland, is traveling out of the country. Vernon Presley died June 26, 1979, at age 63. Elvis died in 1977. He said that included DNA from Elvis, but he would not elaborate on where or how that was obtained. Probate Court Clerk Chris Thomas said Wednesday a hearing on the Texas woman's petition is set for next month. "I've never had one where someone comes in after the estate's been closed almost 25 years," he said. "Most of the people involved are dead." He said Vernon Presley's estate distributed a total of about $200,000 to his heirs and has been closed since 1985. Vernon Presley was the executor of the Elvis estate, the bulk of which went to his only daughter, Lisa Marie.DNA expert Yates said Eliza Presley's mother, Florence Juanita Sharp, lived across the street from Graceland as a teenager, but that little is know about how she might have met Vernon Presley. He said Sharp moved to Pasadena, Texas, where Eliza was born Jan. 23, 1962, and placed for adoption. Despite the petition seeking to reopen Vernon Presley's estate and be admitted as an heir, Eliza Presley's motive is not money, Yates said. "Her main goal is to be recognized as Vernon Presley's daughter and Elvis Presley's half sister," he said. "She's spent her entire lifetime searching for her true identity."

Feedback about Eliza Presley's claimCory Cooper, Elvis Historian, Consultant, Technical Advisor: For any of the DNA evidence to be objectively examined, "Jesse" who she stated she got the DNA from, would have to present himself. Just like when Bill Beeny and Phil Aitcheson and Dr. Hinton and anyone else made these claims with DNA. They need to put up or shut up, otherwise their whole story is a moot point. Lois Nelson: I cannot believe shocked that ELVIS AARON PRESLEY has a half sister hidden for years till announcement is true on TV FOX. I have been studied her features, oh yes, she has some facial features of Vernon Elvis Presley and KING ELVIS AARON PRESLEY! Wow! But to my options and Laws of 20 years ago plus adoption by other family in Ohio, I feel it is not right for her to claim old estate Vernon died in 1979.OHIO LAWS Limitations of 2 years. Otherwise, she was adopted, she seems greedy for $$$$$.
Kitty: I do not believe that Elvis is alive. But it’s easier to believe that They had no reason to lie to us; and back then on that day of Elvis’s funeral, there were not yet all of the stories and rumors circulating that maybe he didn’t really die. So I believe her story that her daughter, the nurse, was present at the autopsy. Elvis will live on in our hearts forever and through his beautiful music. Gerald Sorby: There is no doubt Elvis Aaron Presley died on August 16, 1977. Those who believe otherwise are foolhardy and have deep rooted psychological problems.
The chances of that being true are about as good as Eliza being Elvis' half sister or that there are any illegitimate Elvis children out there. I can assure you if there had been any children outside of Lisa Marie, the mother would have immediately come forward for big bucks. Just as Eliza's mother said she would have if it was true that Vernon fathered Eliza or whatever her real name is. Her mother effusively stated Vernon is not her father. In other words, STOP THIS NONSENSE. Most of you claim to be good Elvis fans but those of you who believe or foster this nonsense don't prove that by your actions. This nonsense besmirches Elvis' memory and those of us who were close to him are tired of reading this crap.
The above is not directed at EIN because they do a wonderful job of keeping his memory alive as many fans do. As Nigel and Piers have always told me, all they do is try to be fair by printing almost everything about Elvis people send them and let the fans make up their own mind about it." EIN Comment: Thanks Marty! Marty does not always agree with what EIN publishes, for as he says, we publish a very broad cross-section of what is happening in the Elvis world. Despite assertions (from time to time) to the contrary, EIN does not support, nor endorse, a number of views we publish. For instance....EIN has always maintained Elvis died on 16 August, 1977. We stand by that belief today! Cris: I'm a huge Elvis fan and have been most of my life. I kinda feel sorry for this poor woman. Apparently, she never started out looking for anything to do with Elvis or his family. She was strictly looking for her biological father and his roots. After a lot of research, she came across this path and I truly think this poor woman was in shock. Nobody unfortunately knows her true background, however has she even thought about meeting up with either Priscilla or Lisa Marie under private court to discuss this matter??? Plus I never heard her say one time anything to do with MONEY. Maybe just really wants to know her true background and family history. WE all know Elvis along with his father Vernon were no saints in anyway when it came to WOMEN. LOL They both had their share through out the many years of fame. Anything is possible. :) Thanks for allowing to share this with you.Marty Lacker: It is getting tiresome to some of us who were close to Elvis to see his life continued to be made a mockery of by either a scam artist or nutcase like this woman, whichever she is. Her mother has flat out said her daughter is lying and that Vernon Presley never touched, her no less had a romantic affair with her.
If that's not enough, it is beyond comprehension that the so called judge believed her story that Elvis ,using the name Jesse, is the one who gave her the DNA. Anybody who still thinks Elvis is alive needs psychiatric help and that includes the judge.
Unfortunately Elvis died August 16, 1977 and nobody can change that. Jesse, my ass!
Bronwyn: I believe Eliza Presley's story. She hasn't asked for any money and why would anyone come out and make a claim that they have DNA proof if they don't really have it? Glenda: At first I thought this was another load of rubbish. Then I saw your photo of Eliza and I thought, muy god there is more than a passing resemblance to the Presleys. Tom S: What of crock of shite!!!! Fred W: Tell her to leave Elvis alone. Brian Wiends: Here we go again. Can't these peopole just let Elvis rest in peace and get on with their lives. Patricia Johnson: This story is another example of the greed and need for 15 minutes fame that American's crave. I can't wait for her story to unbravel once the court looks at the so called DNA evidence. Connie Anne: How can someone be disgusted at what this woman is claiming or doing? She has the right to know the truth. Besides, no one should judge if they do not know the entire story, which I doubt anyone has at this time. Maybe she has tried to reach family members and they dismissed her like they have anyone who has ever tried to claim kinship to Elvis Presley? At least this person has DNA evidence, which seems to be more than people I have read about in the past. She even seems to have enough to take this to court. I would think that says quite a bit here. Penny Lee: I think its great if she ends up being his half sister. Personally I would want to know who my family were if I had be adopted. However, I would not want anything to do with the Presley money. Just knowing that I was related to Elvis would be enough for me. Anonymous: I’m disgusted by this. Ms Presley makes no appeal to meet her family (she is a half-aunt to Elvis’ children, a sister-in-law to Priscilla) and has never met her brother. Wouldn’t she like to meet his family and get to know more about her late brother? Nope, she’d just like the cash please. I’m not sure how much she would be entitled to, but I’m guessing it won’t be much. If she gets anything at all it will be more than she deserves. I’m not sure how much Vernon Presley has left, but I’m guessing she’s hoping for a cut of the Elvis estate. Terry Wheeler: Just when we thought it was safe to talk about Elvis again, another crazy story surfaces. Mary Smiley, Gail Brewer-Giorgio, Lucy DeBarbin, Don Hinton, Bill Beeny, the Presley commission, Monte Nicholson, Lisa Johannsen, and the list just goes on. But it had been quiet of late. A case of too good to be true! Sally Rochester: Good on Eliza for telling her story. If she's right and her DNA evidence matches Vernon's there will be a lot of naysayers with egg on their faces!
