Who tried to steal Graceland? ( www.nbcnews.com )

The search for the mysterious company behind a scheme to steal Elvis Presley’s Graceland estate ended last week, not in Nigeria--where initial clues seemed to lead--but at the front door of “a grandmother in Branson, Missouri, a con woman with a decades long rap sheet of romance scams, forged checks and bank fraud totaling hundreds of thousands of dollars, for which she did time in state and federal prison."

Paul Simon. He has a whole song about it.

I thought it was about the boy in the bubble and the baby with the baboon heart

I was thinking maybe Kevin Costner because I forgot what the plot to 3000 Miles to Graceland is but I remember he was a thief or a con man or something. 🤔

Indeed. I’m both impressed at the investigative journalism displayed and disgusted at the subject matter. They got the green light to go after a Branson, MO scamma.
