The Billy Miller/EIN Interview Commentary and Analysis, Part II
BM (continued): I was involved in undercover work with the Washington, D.C. Police, Virginia State Police and the FBI.
PL: There does not appear to be any evidence that Miller worked undercover for any of these agencies. More on this later.
BM (continued): Elvis pushed me to go on with my life. He even went on cases with me. He helped me go undercover with the Shelby County Sheriff's Department. Another time we helped Burford Pusser fight drugs in the Memphis schools.
PL: More to come on Miller’s claims re: Buford Pusser.
BM (continued): My book will prove what really happened - it will be the 'True Elvis Book'...The True Tell-All Book...Elvis's passion for the law and undercover cases...what and why Elvis went to Washington, DC in 1970 just before Christmas.
PL: Miller’s claims regarding Elvis’s trip to Washington, DC, in December, 1970, do not match up with any reported accounts, nor with any eyewitness accounts. More on this later.
BM (continued): There will be the story of my life with Elvis in Vegas in 1976. At that time I was driving Elvis and his friends around town, buying gifts (guns, rings, etc.) and taking Elvis to his private bedroom at Dr. Ellis Ghonman's home (a hideout for the King) behind the Hilton Hotel. I will detail my investigations for Elvis from my case files from 1968 to 1977... My cases from Tennessee, Huntington Beach California, to Las Vegas, Nevada. Washington, D.C. to Florida and back to Tennessee. My files will be an open Book...
PL: Miller should name these friends so that these friends can be questioned about Miller’s claim. Conveniently, Miller leaves out these names, and I cannot believe that legal reasons require this.
Also, Miller claims to have started working for Elvis as early as July, 1969. Here, Miller refers to case files dating from 1968. How did 1968 come into the story? Was Miller running investigations for Elvis while he was still in the Navy?
In early 1968, Miller would have turned 21 years old. How many 21-year-olds are involved in undercover work for major law enforcement agencies and organizations?
EIN: When and how did you first meet Elvis?
BM: It was the spring of 1957. Elvis was on tour in the Midwest and one of his stops was Fort Wayne, Indiana. I was 10 years old at the time. One of my school classmates' mother and father were best friends with Elvis. Elvis was playing at the Fort Wayne, Indiana Coliseum and stopped by to say hi. My friend came by my house and said "Billy you got to see this guy at my house". We ran to see this guy named Elvis. At that time I'd never heard of Elvis! All the names and proof will be in my book!
PL: Why not name these people now? What legal reason prohibits Miller from saying who these “best friends” of Elvis’s were? Or revealing the name of his own friend, whose parents knew Elvis? And how did anyone in the US *not* know of Elvis Presley by the year 1957?
