Woman Files Court Petition to Open Estate of Vernon Presley
A Memphis probate judge reopened the estate of Vernon Presley, father of music icon Elvis Presley, after a 46-year old woman filed a petition claiming to have DNA evidence that she is Vernon's "love-child," making her Elvis's half-sister and a legal heir.
But wait, there's more.
The DNA evidence provided by Eliza A. Presley - who just recently changed her name from Alice Elizabeth Tiffin to her alleged namesake - is an envelope mailed to her that was licked by Jessie Presley, the assumed name used by Elvis Presley. That envelope was allegedly sent to Eliza and processed earlier this year, which implies that… the King did not die in 1977.
The probate judge made the ruling Wednesday morning, stating that the ruling was only to reopen Vernon Presley's estate and not a validation of Eliza's claim.
Eliza Presley also claims to have additional DNA evidence that proves her parentage, evidence that was processed by a DNA testing firm in Arizona.
