It's shocking to learn that the first words out of Vernon Presley's mouth when he learned of his son’s death were "My God! They've murdered my son!" It's even more shocking to learn that immediately following the funeral Elvis' father accused members of the Memphis Mafia of murdering Elvis. Elvis father wasn't alone; Presley's doctor, girlfriend and chief of security all thought there was foul play.
When Elvis' body was removed from Graceland to be taken to the hospital criminal Investigators were immediately dispatched to the death scene; the upstairs of Graceland. When they arrived, the entire death scene had been sanitized. An investigation wasn’t possible – who ordered it? Meanwhile back at the hospital all of Elvis Presley's stomach contents were being dumped down the sink so they could not be analyzed. About this time Joe Esposito, Elvis’ Road Manager and group foreman had just told the cameras that he had found Elvis dead in bed. Two hours later the location had changed.
That night the Investigators car was burglarized and the only items missing were the notes and photos of the death scene. Thirty years later an Elvis researcher was murdered on his way to give the key note speech at an Elvis Presley research conference. He had just purchased letters written by Elvis naming people who were threatening his life. The previously unpublished and unknown facts of Elvis Presley's death have been hidden for years, but now, finally, the truth must be revealed.
