| In "Who Murdered Elvis?" Stephen B. Ubaney combs through a mountain of research to arrive at this conclusion: Elvis Presley was murdered by the Mob or FBI and a government cover-up ensued. |
There have been numerous claims of Elvis sightings and
unsubstantiated assertions that the “King” of rock ‘n’ roll is living incognito
during his waning years on a remote island somewhere to escape the mental and physical
exertion of super stardom.
Ah…but
there is another theory – one that a New York-based author says is
unequivocally true: Elvis Aaron Presley was murdered by the Mob (Mafia) or the
FBI. In a 116-page book titled “Who Murdered Elvis?” Stephen B. Ubaney claims the
entertainer was murdered and that a cover-up ensued. He arrived at this
conclusion after spending years investigating Elvis’ death.

“This is the only book ever published that explains why,
how and who murdered Elvis Presley,” said Ubaney. The book costs $17.99 and
will be available Aug. 15 at The Booksellers at Laurelwood Memphis. The
information within debunks many of those decades-old myths, Ubaney said.
For
the tens of thousands of Elvis fans around the world who’re looking for new
material or a keepsake, they will relish “Who Murdered Elvis?” while
celebrating the singer’s 35th anniversary of his death here in
Memphis during the week of Aug. 10-18. It’s an intriguing book that links
Elvis’ death to a government cover up.
“History
will be rewritten with my book,” said Ubaney, noting that the book is a
definitive account of what really happened to Elvis. “The cold case will be solved
and a murderer will be found. ‘Who Murdered Elvis?’ launches the full criminal
investigation that was ignored in 1977 by all levels of government.”
The answers to Elvis’s death lie within the book and reveal
a startling new “truth” that Ubaney claims he’s uncovered. “All of the
witnesses who found the body told different stories from where the body was
found to when the 911 call was placed and the sequence of events of Elvis’
final hours,” he said.

Two
years after Elvis’ death, ABC News
Geraldo Rivera spoke frankly about the death of Memphis’ favorite son and the
city’s supposedly lackluster investigation into his death. “It seems almost as
if the city of Memphis itself does not care to know the truth about the death
of its most famous citizen,” Rivera said unabashedly.
The
biggest tragedy in the world is that somebody actually murdered Elvis and got
away with it, Ubaney opines. “To look at Elvis’ death singularly is to ignore
many obvious facts,” he said. “The cover-up and the double talk hold shocking
parallels to the deaths of Sonny Liston, Marilyn Monroe, Martin Luther King Jr.,
and even JFK.”
The
Mob or FBI – or both – murdered Elvis, the author contends. It was definitely a
homicide, he said as a matter-of-fact, and that “we are finally getting down to
what really happened.”
It
may be a surprise to some Elvis fans, but there is a 663-page FBI file on the
singer. While searching for clues to Elvis’ death, Ubaney said he read the
entire file. He said he discovered after Elvis’ death that an investigator’s
car was broken into outside his apartment and that all of his notes and photos
of the Presley death scene were stolen.
Ubaney
noted as well that Vernon Presley, Elvis’ father, announced immediately that
his famous son had been murdered. Despite all of Vernon Presley’s influence, no
government agency would ever grant an investigation, he said.
“There
was no coroner’s inquest and no DA investigation. They ignored all normal
protocols of a suspicious death. Within hours, death scene photos were stolen,
body fluids were discarded prior to an autopsy, and the death scene was
mysteriously sanitized.”
“Who
Murdered Elvis?” is a good read that warrants a second look into Elvis’ shocking
death.
Public awareness…
“The author’s quest to find the truth about Elvis’ death
is intriguing,” said Patricia A. Rogers, president and CEO of Patricia A.
Rogers Public Relations in Memphis. “Stephen B. Ubaney has separated fact from
fiction in the book after several years of intense research.”
The
agency is handling the advertising and public relations campaign for the book
during the 35th anniversary of Elvis’ death. Over 75,000 fans are expected
in Memphis during the week of Aug. 10-18 from around the world.
A campaign
is being launched to bring public awareness about the book. Thousands of
handbills will be distributed; radio ads will be aired; television interviews
have been scheduled, and the author will make high-profile appearances
throughout “Elvis Week” promoting the book at various venues.
“The
book could become a bestseller,” Rogers believes. “It definitely has potential.
This is a one in a lifetime opportunity to get a response from Elvis’ fans and tourists
from around the world.”

About Stephen B. Ubaney…

| Author Stephen B. Ubaney |
Author Stephen B. Ubaney, a
native of Fredonia, New York, was born in the mid 1960s to parents who idolized
Elvis Presley. He was indoctrinated when the singer was a household name and a
worldwide obsession and spent years afterward researching his life and times.
His mother’s interest in the
rock ‘n’ roll icon had an everlasting impact on young Stephen. He remembers her
reading every book, magazine and newspaper article on Elvis. He would eventually
read those same articles and listen to his mother’s collection of Elvis
records.
By the time he was 15, Ubaney
had learned more about Elvis than most people learned in a lifetime. After
Elvis’ death in 1977, for example, he’d already developed keen insight into the
key players and facts surrounding Elvis’ death.
A defining moment for Ubaney
came in 1979 when he and his family visited Graceland’s “Meditation Gardens.” He
met Elvis’ uncle, Vester Presley, and remembers wearing an official “Elvis on
Tour” jacket while standing stoically watching a crowd file pass Elvis’
grave.
Even though the photo
opportunity with Vester Presley and the conversation they had were very casual,
it had a long lasting effect on Ubaney. Years later while watching interviews
about Elvis’ death, he reflected on the conversation with Elvis’ uncle, which
inspired him to search for the truth.
Ubaney initially had no
interest in becoming a researcher or the author of “Who Murdered Elvis?” But
his fact-finding ability and natural inquisitive nature started him on a quest to
search for the truth. The conclusion he arrived at is startling to say the
least.
The day Ubaney met Elvis’
uncle was the beginning of his journey and the eventual rewriting of history.
