A Normal Day Turned Into a Nightmare
Priscilla Presley was heading to an appointment when her sister stopped her in her tracks. “You have to go home,” her sister said. In that instant, Priscilla felt chills—something was terribly wrong.
Racing Home, Fearing the Worst
With growing panic, Priscilla sped through every red light, trying to get home as fast as she could. The phone wouldn’t stop ringing. Her hands shook so violently she couldn’t get the key in the door.
The Call That Changed Everything
On the other end of the line was Joe Esposito. His words were slow, heavy. “It’s Elvis,” he said. And then came the crushing truth: Elvis Presley was dead.
A Child’s Innocent Escape
Lisa Marie, just 9 years old, was riding around the property on a golf cart with her friend. Priscilla watched from the window and realized—this was Lisa’s way of escaping the sorrow that engulfed their home.
A Symbol of Freedom—and Grief
Priscilla remembered her own golf cart key, a gift from her father. It had her name on it, now worn and faded. That little key once symbolized freedom. Now, it only reminded her of what was lost.
Flying Home to Memphis in Silence
As she flew back to Memphis on Elvis’s private plane, a mix of anger and sadness consumed her. “How could you leave us? You promised…” she kept asking silently.
The Pain of Vernon Presley
Nothing could prepare her for the sound of Vernon Presley crying out for his son. “It was a sound I’ll never forget,” Priscilla recalled. “It tore through my soul.”
Elvis Presley Was Only 42
He was too young, too iconic, too alive in everyone’s hearts to be gone. But on August 16, 1977, the world lost Elvis Presley—and nothing has ever felt the same since.
