I would like to give a special note of thanks to my personal support group. Without my family, friends or my devout belief in the Lord this project would not have been possible. There are not enough pages in this book to tell all of you how much I appreciate you.

This book is presented solely for entertainment purposes. It is a Creative Nonfictional book that weaves a hypothesis based on years of researched facts. Some of these facts have existed in other authors works for decades and have been presented within this manuscript to assist the author, and reader, with the development of the storyline.

In order to get as close to the truth as humanly possible, the material selected for presentation dealt only in first hand experiences and were of the best source direct content available. While the best efforts have been used in preparing this book and the author has quoted several official and credible sources, the content is a narrative of those gathered facts. The author is not a professional law enforcement agent or criminal investigator. This manuscript was written without ghost writers, malice or ulterior motives.

The authors sole intention is to solve the long standing mystery surrounding Elvis Presleys death and not to discredit or defame any character in the manuscripts factual hypothesis. The Literary Journalism that exists within this manuscript has finally assembled a believable and final event out of the scrambled and conflicting reports that have been repeatedly warped in the public consciousness for thirty five years.

Those who read this book the first time will do so to learn about Elvis Presleys murder. Those who read this book the second time will do so to try and wrap their minds around how deeply the powers behind the murder went. Those who read this book the third time will never look at the hierarchical powers in this world the same way again. And so the investigation begins .

Truth is like the sun. You can shut it out for a time,
but it aint goin away.

.... Elvis Aaron Presley

Now you listen to me; the only thing thats important is that that man is on stage tonight nothing else matters nothing!

- Larry Geller, Elvis: The Last Hours-

If you want the same regurgitated Elvis fluff thats been written over the past 35 years, stop reading now. There are hundreds of other books that celebrate and worship The King and soft-pedal his tragic death. This book, instead, was written with two purposes in mindone, to dispel the myth and fantasy that surround this mans untimely death; and two, finally set the record straight. Elvis Presley was murdered. Theres new evidence that proves it. And its time to rewrite the history books.

A literal truckload of books have been written about Elvis, and almost all of them were intended to do nothing more than profit from the specter of the man. They ask no difficult questions and deliver no real worth. But after a time even the most casual observers would begin asking questions, questions that no one had answers for. For me that day was August 16th, 2007the 30th anniversary of Elvis Presleys death.

On this date there were televised festivities from Graceland and another candlelight vigil for the fallen idol. The ceremony was almost an identical rerun of every major Presley-death anniversary, except for a startling set of interviews. These interviews, broadcast to a national and worldwide audience, simply made no sense. On this particular anniversary a reporter interviewed the members of Presleys staff who were eye witnesses to the discovery of Presleys body.

One after another, the television captured short video clips and none of the stories were the same. In fact, the witnesses couldnt even agree on the simplest of detailswhat color pajamas Elvis wore, where the body was found or even what time of day it was. I witnessed these interviews in disbelief. How could these witnesses be telling different stories and why hasnt anyone investigated these accounts? These were questions well worth asking.

This book, for the first time, connects the disparate snippets of information into a final and believable event. Finally the world will know what happened. But before answers come questions. Exactly who was the real Elvis Presley? The name itself flashes mental images of the glamor and excitement that embodies Americana. From curled lip to swiveled hip, no entertainer riveted his audience and changed the societal landscape like this one man. Men wanted to be him, women wanted to bed him and Hollywood lusted to invent anyone with such an intoxicating persona.

Born in the most impoverished of circumstances and the only remaining sibling of a stillborn identical twin, Elvis Presleys stature in life didnt look promising. This shy, sad and unattractive boy cat walked his way through childhood, living an unpopular existence. He was a mamas boy who looked different than the other kids and was bullied throughout his childhood in Tupelo, Mississippi. His popularity didnt improve when the family uprooted and moved to Memphis in 1948, where his flashy clothing and James Dean haircut offended everyone in his conservative Brush Cut community.

In Memphis, the adolescent Presley attended high school, worked nights and added to his gospel-music roots by watching black performing artists Arthur Crudup, Rufus Thomas and B.B. King. Elvis was unsophisticated, poor and an untrained musician who played entirely by ear. High School was especially tormenting for the young Presley as classmates hurled insults, apples and eggs at the kid who dressed like a freak and played what they considered to be raunchy rockabilly music.

By 1953, Presley had gathered enough courage to saunter into Sun Records and try his hand at recording. Sun Records was owned by Sam Phillips who was always on the lookout for new music trends. Unfortunately, Phillips was unimpressed and young Presley left with only the recording that hed paid for and not much else. What happened after this failure changed the world. Regardless of what claims have been made over the years, the person who discovered the greatest natural talent in music history was Marion Keisker, and she was the secretary at Sun Records. During that now famous first recording session, she understood that Elvis had the perfect blend of styles to fit what Sam Phillips was looking for.
