There is a recording I have heard that was made surreptitiously with only one party aware that the conversation was being recorded. In a comment offered during a brief discussion about Elvis’s death at Graceland on August 16, 1977, the speaker who was unaware of the recording made the following statement:

“I was up there with [_______] right when it happened.”

[The comment mentions the identity of a second person who was also present at the time, which I indicate here with the bracketed blank space.]

Think about the far-reaching implications inherent in this statement.

Ask yourself: “What is ‘it’?” Within the context of this discussion, “it” refers to Elvis’s death.

Ask yourself: “If this person was present and aware of ‘it’ happening, then doesn’t this person know exactly when ‘it’ happened?”

Ask yourself: “Who is the speaker here, and to whom is the speaker referring?”

Ask yourself: “If anyone was present when ‘it’ happened, then doesn’t it have to be true that something had happened prior to the body being discovered at 2:20pm, and that this person knew what had happened?”

This statement places at least two people in the vicinity of “it” and nowhere in the “official story” of Elvis’s death, nor in the scores of books addressing any variation of the official account, is there any mention of these two people, in this context.

What does this tell us?
