Lisa Marie Presley's FBI file shows she was dealing with unhinged stalkers
The FBI has made the first part of its files on Lisa Marie Presley available at its website, covering the years 1994 to 2001.
They show that she was dealing with lunatics who called in threatening messages or wrote scary letters, which the FBI looked into.
And although during those years Lisa was heavily involved in Scientology, we didn’t notice any references to the church in the documents that the FBI has made available.
But we thought you would still be curious about some of the specifics in the file.
The first item in chronological order was a series of telephoned threats that were made in December, 1994. Lisa had married Michael Jackson that May.
The file contains these notes of a call…
[Redacted] from the [redacted] called to say [redacted] if she doesn't get a call from Lisa Marie and [redacted] is going to bomb [redacted] Lisa Marie. And to tell Michael Jackson that if he doesn't leave Lisa Marie all of his property then we will be bombing him.
The caller turned out to be a woman from Albuquerque.
When the FBI interviewed her, it turned out she had a loose grip on reality.
[Redacted] claims that she was engaged to Donald Trump. After repeated calls to talk with Donald Trump, she allegedly called in a bomb threat to [redacted]. She repeatedly calls the Queen Mother in England, Lisa Marie, [redacted]. She has reportedly been violent with her landlord.
She wasn’t prosecuted.
The next incident involved a man from Dallas who, over a period from September 1994 to December 1995, sent letters and gifts for Lisa to Graceland, and then became threatening when he wasn’t getting what he wanted.
A notation from December 27, 1995 at Graceland indicated that “He said that Lisa’s marriage was his business and that on his next trip to Los Angeles he would kill Lisa.”
The FBI found that the man did have a criminal record. They met with him in Dallas and told him to stop sending threats. The man claimed that he was harmless. He wasn't prosecuted.
In June 1996, Lisa was mailed a handwritten note…
I am a very devout person, which I hope you are too, as certainly your dad was too.
I'm suggesting you give [redacted] to important charities, such as [redacted] relief organization which helps starving children. Please get this publicized so no one will kidnap one or both of your children for ransom. That would devastate you. Remember, that would leave [redacted] for you and your children; that is plenty of money.
God would truly love you for doing this; He loves his suffering children. I love you too.
Sincerely,
[Redacted]
A week letter the FBI confronted the woman who had written the letter and she "expressed dismay at her letter being misinterpreted."
She promised not to write to Lisa again.
"(It should be noted that [redacted] admitted just having been released from the [redacted]. She appeared to be somewhat disoriented."
She wasn't prosecuted.
The last item in the file is in regard to something an informant told Graceland security…
[Redacted] told [redacted] had paid [redacted] to have Lisa Marie Presley killed. [Redacted] is also a licensed Elvis Presley fan club owner, and is described by [redacted] as psychotic and extremely mentally unstable. [Redacted] is a fanatical supporter of the fact that Lisa Marie Presley is not the real daughter of Elvis Presley, but that [redacted] is Presley's true daughter. [Redacted] have gradually come to believe in [redacted] theory that [redacted] is Presley's daughter. [Redacted] has contacted the Memphis FBI office on numerous occasions to rant on and on about [redacted] being the true Presley daughter.
The FBI contacted the woman who did, in fact, believe that she was the actual Lisa Marie and daughter to Elvis Presley. But she denied ever telling anyone that she had hired someone to kill Lisa.
She was not prosecuted.

Since when is threatening to kill someone or kidnap their children not proscutable? What a sick and deranged world we dwell on. It seems every system, every agency is broken.
The Presley family has had to deal with nutjobs ever since Elvis got famous. That is why Elvis hired all those body guards and kept them happy.
The 'way to happiness' was always a scam aimed at any disaffected minion doing Steps A to E or just someone trying to prove their fealty to the cause. How anyone can think that such a stupid retelling of the 10 commandments would change the world is beyond me.
