I was just wondering, if Elvis did fake his death, does that mean he could be facing a prison sentance? Or would it be considered HIM being under the witness protection program for his "undercover work"

The only thing which could make this unlikely eventuality even more bizarre would be if Elvis was incarcerated immediately after his public resurrection :lol:

Or just give him a pass since he's so old now.;););)
If he was in the witness protection program he would not be in any legal trouble for faking his death.
But if he faked his death on his own and came forward-there could be some legal problems-a few I can think of- the relatives of the people who were killed in front of Graceland by the ***** who drove into the crowd a day or so after Elvis died might think to file a suit to claim the deception caused their deaths
The city of Memphis and the state of Tennessee could claim they were owed for all the money it took to control the city of Memphis right after Elvis died with the influx of people for the funeral and the added overtime patrols.
Even fans could sue because they went to Graceland to see the "Grave of Elvis" if he is not dead then that would be fraud.
But since he is dead these can never happen.

VERY GOOD POINTS. VERY INTERESTING, YOU HAVE TO ADMIT ELVIS HAD THE PULL OR CONNECTIONS TO PULL THIS OFF. PEOPLE SAY HE WAS TIRED OF THAT LIFE STYLE, I SAY IF YOU'RE GOING TO TOUR LIKE HE DID AND GET ADDICTED TO ALL THEM PILLS, IT WOULD BE ONLY A MATTER OF TIME FOR AN OVERDOSE TO TAKE PLACE.

Let's not forget that he did see Robert Goulet on TV. And Gomer Pyle molested his leg. He also saw the script for Harum Scarum.
These are fairly traumatic events.
Actually, upon further reflection, I'm not entirely sure that he did see the script for Harum Scarum.

That would, indeed, suck most egregiously.
Elvis, dude...if you're cruising this forum, it's probably a good idea to stay incognito. You're too old now to be doing the Jailhouse Rock.
Never really thought about this part of the 'Elvis is alive' thing before. Sure, a great many people who faked their deaths and were eventually discovered did face major legal woes, but that was because most of them staged their demise to cover illegal activity (whether embezzlement, nonpayment of debt,m or whatever).
Hypothetically, if Elvis (or any of the other pop figures rumored to have faked their deaths) did surface after all these years, alive, yes, there's a very real likelihood that someone, somewhere, would be dragging the living dead into court. In the United States, for one thing, you can pretty much sue anyone for anything, at the best of times. So if I were a superstar who escaped my prison of fame by faking an exit I think I'd be diligently staying out of sight even if I wanted to jump out of a cake at a Superbowl halftime show and yell "surprise!," kept in the shadows by that most fearsome of beasts, the bringer of fates far worse than death: the American lawyer.
Of course, if they tried to imprison a resurrected Elvis Presley, the increasingly apathetic American public might finally actually rouse itself and actually do something to Stick It To The The Man. Elvis could be the great uniter, the savior of American democracy and world unity (sort of like Bill and Ted, but better on guitar). :hmm:

Very funny, and YES I do back these up as good reasons. Did you hear about when shooting the last scene in, FUN IN ACAPULCO when those guys lifted him up, one of them grouped Elvis and he was so pissed off when they put him down...I think that could count as a reason as well.
but seriously, weather he did anything or not, they could always find or make up a reason to relocate him.
"Or would it be considered HIM being under the witness protection program for his "undercover work"
Elvis did more work "under the covers", than actual "undercover" work.

2. And as I wasn't aware of his presence when he was alive it would be a magical first time to get the chance to see him in person!
3. I would forgive him everything (aside from the fact that there is nothing I have to forgive him at all ;)), I am sure he had his very own reasons!

Is that the audiotape from the Gail Georgio Brewer Georgio WhateverHerNameIs book? if so, that thing was a very convincing piece when I first heard it, far more so than the woman's writing.
I really would like to think Elvis got away alive. I'd like to think that, but I don't think that. Well, sure,yes, the standard disclaimer that it IS a possibility notwithstanding. But surely we can all agree that Elvis deserved a break, and some freedom...freedom not to be Elvis, essentially. Barring hiding away on some Pacific island for a few years, or the very unlikely event of him retiring and suddenly, magically, being left alone by the media and everyone else, how was Elvis going to get away from his fame?
Young performers who hope to be stars more often than not, once they attain stardom, find that fame is a double-edged sword (and, sometimes, one with a sharper back side than front edge). It might be cool to have experienced being Elvis Presley for a few hours, but a lifetime of it was undoubtedly as much burden, in some ways, as blessing. For every perk and every high point there were constraints and downsides, and the fact is that, the way Elvis' life turned out, he was unable to do so much that the rest of us might take for granted. Sure, he could do and afford a lot of things that most of us cannot, but sometimes there's little comfort in that when you can't even live an approximation of a relatively unscrutinized life. For all the glamorous stuff and experience his money could buy, he saw a lot of alleys and hotel kitchens in his time, and the view when entering a venue via the stage doors is never as nice as the view up front.
One very poignant example of what I'm talking about is the story of a trip to Hawaii (I think maybe for shooting Blue Hawaii?) when everyone went out and had fun in the Hawaiian sun except Elvis, who was basically trapped in his luxurious suite and had little choice but to limit his sightseeing to what he could see from the balcony. It wasn't always that dire, but (no matter how great the advantages of his income and other resources) life was hardly a bed of roses for the most famous man on the planet.
So, yeah, if I were writing Elvis as a fictional character for whom I wanted a happy Hollywood ending, I'd probably have him successfully fake his death and escape into obscurity. Whether or not this was even possible for someone as famous as Elvis Presley is, of course, another story, but nobody said Hollywood endings were ever very realistic.

The only problem would be facing one person. Nothing else would be a problem. You could try around the Knoxville, Tennessee area but you might not like what you find. But then again it wouldn't matter because you couldn't prove it.

That audio tape was made by David Darlock (or Gazaele - not sure of the spelling of the last name) for a now-defunct fan club called "Eternally Elvis" for $250.00 and David appeared on Geraldo's television show to 'out' himself as the one who made the tape.

My thoughts exactly. But I guess there will always be those who believe otherwise, each to their own I suppose.

First off DNA just recently taken of Elvis Aron Presley-would have to be proved that it was just recently taken. If anyone has a strand of his hair-that contains DNA-if they have a cup "he drank from"-even from 1970 it may have his DNA signature on the cup. A scarf "he wore and sweated on"-may have his DNA on it. An "envelope licked by Elvis" may have DNA-but it does not prove its recent DNA.
So proving that a sample was just recently taken is going to be much harder than just saying it was recent.
I would assume the courts would say, "Wait a minute!-Whats the chain of this evidence and wheres the legal proof that it is indeed recent"
I know everyone recalls the shrink a few years ago who was "treating Elvis"
and claimed it was 100% certain it was Elvis. He said proof would be forth coming and it was indeed a sham"
I listened to this guy being interviewed on local radio and the DJs had a suprise for him Marion Cocke Elvis's nurse who was there when they worked on Elvis on 8-16-77 she was mad and crying after listening to this shrinks story of being 100% sure Elvis was alive. She asked him if he had any idea how wrong it was to give fans such false hope. The guy got mad claimed he was set up (which was true) and he hung up.

I bet that guy felt like an ***** after that. And it is wrong, giving such false hopes...I mean, if you are not going to believe the people who were there in the actual hospital room when they were working on Elvis' body then who do you believe, people who say I'm Elvis or Elvis is alive. C'mon man its BS!

This voice is a great imitation- but certain words slip in phrasing and do not sound like Elvis. The voice sounds very controlled in each sentence-trying to stay in character-trying to sound natural. When you speak in a natural voice it does not need control-it comes easily. This is no proof.

Here is a little secret for you Ladies and Gentlemen,
ELVIS is not going to prison (if he were alive) what crime did he comit? His life insurance policy was never received..it remains unclaimed.
Unless you are guilty of a crime, what is the offense exactly? What crime?
Being beautiful, better looking than any man on earth ever thought about being. More talented as well.
Possibly sick to death of the constant degrading comments...like he said onceto an audience live " I can't take an asprin for a headache without some loud mouth yelling he's using heroin!" he goes on to say, this crap and you gossip mongers out there are hurting my family, it affects my little daughter, and it's not true. Ending with as I recall...I am not getting this exactly, as I don't have it written down anywhere... I could rip your GD tounge's out by the roots!
So..live with it guys.....maybe all this time I have been Elvis, I'm not a woman, I'm not a Rn/Vet or 61.......:hmm::mail: That licked envelope can get stuffed down the trouble making throat of whomever wants to cash in on it... over my dead body will they ever hurt him.

I thought it was pretty clear that he was being sarcastically and dryly humorous rather than that he'd suddenly divest himself of all his Elvis recordings and other possessions if Elvis turns out to have been alive all these years. I can't speak for him, but I'd assume that he also would prefer that Elvis had not died in 1977 even if he believes that he did die then (yes, I've posted here about how there can't for most of us be absolute certainty in such things but, in the world of reality, Getlo's is not just the majority opinion but the vastly more likely absolute truth).
As for him not knowing anything about 'people who love Elvis,' not only do I think that's a tad harsh but I suspect that this forum member loves Elvis, perhaps not in the sometimes creepy worshipful way we see here and there but certainly as a phenomenal performer who has brought so many of us, Getlo included, great joy. Not only do I believe that Getlo has forgotten more about Elvis' career than some here will ever know, but I find it very difficult to believe that he'd waste his time here, or with thinking about Elvis at all, if he was not a real fan.
And, no, I have no personal connection with Getlo -- haven't even exchanged PMs, or anything, and I don't always agree with everything he writes or the tone sometimes associated with it (not that it's anywhere near the excesses of certain people I could name from other boards). In fact, I just recently responded with criticism of one of his posts in which he stated with certainty that Elvis was dead, ironically enough. I just think you're quite a bit out of line here. Failing to recognize the intent of his post is one thing -- this site doesn't seem to have standard a 'sarcasm' tag or smiley and perhaps it'd be handy to some, much as I'd hate to think so -- but I think you make subsequent assumptions that are off-base, uncalled for, and not supported by reality.

Such good post. Much truth in it.
And they didnt say how or where they got this DNA from Elvis.

I wish he was alive but sad he isn't. Elvis died on Aug. 16th of '77.

Not only do I believe that Getlo has forgotten more about Elvis' career than some here will ever know, but I find it very difficult to believe that he'd waste his time here, or with thinking about Elvis at all, if he was not a real fan.
And, no, I have no personal connection with Getlo -- haven't even exchanged PMs, or anything, and I don't always agree with everything he writes or the tone sometimes associated with it (not that it's anywhere near the excesses of certain people I could name from other boards). In fact, I just recently responded with criticism of one of his posts in which he stated with certainty that Elvis was dead, ironically enough. I just think you're quite a bit out of line here. Failing to recognize the intent of his post is one thing -- this site doesn't seem to have standard a 'sarcasm' tag or smiley and perhaps it'd be handy to some, much as I'd hate to think so -- but I think you make subsequent assumptions that are off-base, uncalled for, and not supported by reality.
Okay, I have to admit that may have been a little harsh...and very true that anyone here would have to love Elvis, or why be here...
So my apologies...just one of those touchy quick to go to his defense..I guess..

Dearest Genie,
There is nothing wrong with loving someone, and only wanting happiness, being concerned for people's happinessb, and being happy, if they are.
You are a lovely person, a caring person, those who care, can see that.
Thrilled to see you posting, honey, my loveliest friend. Love, Kimmi.

I just wish they'd leave the man alone for God sake!
Great advice...for ALL concerned parties.;)

There are pages and pages and pages and pages of people joking around, people saying one liners, or only a few letters (all very funny). People, joking around, and I laughed too, counting the number of posts, up to 300.
So, why are we being picked on, Roseanne, or am I taking your comments in the wrong way?

You see 300 posts Jess? That's odd....I only saw 62.:doh: I read the last 2 pages worth of comments...again, I didn't see any one-liners or joking around.:doh: I'm confused as to what it is you are talking about.:doh::doh:

Ahhh I can see I left out "other threads" thinking you would have read them, sorry about that, (expecting people to be mind readers is a habit I need to get out of :D). There is another hilarious thread, where people were having fun, and counting the posts.
:D

Or just give him a pass since he's so old now.;););)
Ofcourse.I don't think they'll put him in prison after 30 years and he's too old for that...:hmm::hmm:
