Miller/EIN Interview Commentary, Part VII

BM (continued): Weeks, maybe months went by, during which time I refused to talk to Elvis. I then knew for the first time how Priscilla felt. To love someone so much, and when you tell them the truth they don't believe you. For Elvis though, the death of Gladys, and the loss of Priscilla, were the two things that he really couldn't handle.

BM: I knew Priscilla quite well. She put up with a lot. I used to watch her, from a distance, and after Elvis pushed her away and she became unhappy, she would sit there and cry for hours and hours. Priscilla does not deserve what has been said and written about her over the years.

PL: Miller refuses to contact Priscilla Presley for a statement from her that she knew him during the time period in question. He claims to have tried, but reaching Priscilla Presley for this reason would not be too difficult, and yet Miller doesn’t take action. This should tell us something. Keep in mind that a statement from Priscilla Presley, attesting to the fact that she knew Billy Miller as a friend of Elvis’s who was present at Graceland during the critical time period, would silence all of Miller’s critics. Seems reasonable that he would want to obtain such a statement from Priscilla, doesn’t it?

BM: I have to laugh at all these stories, some of which are good, some bad. After all these years not one person has got it right! The closest anyone has come to the truth is Marty Lacker. One hell of a man. Even top leading book authors missed the boat on the real story. Again. my book will reveal the real truth!

Note also that Miller is complimentary of Marty Lacker, even referring to him as “one hell of a man,” and yet Miller’s surrogate, “Blue,” mentioned in the "Blue" section, attempts a hatchet job on Marty Lacker’s facts and credibility.

BM: If I had to be with Elvis 24/7 I think my life and attitude for Elvis would have been different. I only saw Elvis when I was a kid about 7 to 10 times and even in the 60's as a teen only about 10 times. In the 70's I saw him maybe 25 times. The best year was 1976 when I got to spend time a lot of time with him.

The problem with Elvis was by that time he had so many issues. He would be nice, then mean, then nice. He could change like the dice on a crap table, hot-cold. If you didn't agree with what he said, you were out. If his joke wasn't funny but you laughed, you were in. If you pushed too hard, you were out.

Despite these tensions, the Colonel loved Elvis like his own son, and he put up with a lot from him. The Colonel knew that Elvis had a lot left to give to his fans. He also knew that the money was almost gone. The Colonel knew that if he pushed Elvis, it might work, even though Elvis would say, he was tired, and just needed a long rest. Some say that the Colonel killed Elvis by over working him. However, in 1977 Elvis was like a run-a way train. It was bound to happen...Elvis was going to leave the building for good.

PL: Read that last sentence again: “It was bound to happen…Elvis was going to leave the building for good.” “It,” we must assume, means Elvis’s death, and yet Miller claims Elvis faked his death. So which is it?

BM: The first thing I should say is that there has never yet been a true book about Elvis. Two, I am writing my book with a very well known identity which will surprise many people.

PL: Notice that Miller refuses to name the author. Why can’t Miller reveal the name? There is no legal justification for this.

BM (continued): My book will also blow everyone away because of the verified evidence it will have, including one by a member of the Presley family who is still alive!

PL: Let me guess…Aunt Lois? Rick Stanley? As for the “verified” evidence, the “verification” I’ve seen for some of Miller’s claims is absolutely worthless. So, let’s see what verification process was used.

BM (continued): It will cover me working for Elvis as a PI/detective, my life and times with Elvis (mostly in 1976). I will detail our undercover cases, my good times with, and bad times with Elvis. There will be facts from my files, names, dates, places, social security details. I will have contact details for FBI agents so readers can verify my claim that I worked "undercover" with Elvis. It will tell you how my life changed from 1957 to 2006. And it will be the true Elvis story!!

PL: Read that carefully: “I will have contact details for FBI agents so readers can verify my claim that I worked ‘undercover’ with Elvis.” Contact details…so *readers* can verify the claim? Does Miller expect *readers* to verify *his* claims? And how will contact info verify *anything*? Much more on this later.

BM (continued): You'll also see copies of my files, the cover ups, Elvis facts. My book will be the one to tell you what really happened on Aug 16 1977...after Elvis left Graceland alive! I will include documentation on everything!

BM (continued): I also have a copy of the cashier's cheque Elvis gave me for working for him. And it's not for a small amount, but an amount in the thousands of dollars. I have photos of me with Elvis on stage and a letter from Elvis asking me to get him some law enforcement badges.

BM: I can tell you, when my book is published there will be many people who have called me a liar, called me a kook...they will have egg on their face and I will have the last laugh. I will prove to them I am not a fake or a fraud. A lot of people will be surprised and suddenly remember that 'little pain in the butt" who used to hang around Graceland.

BM (continued): In writing my book I have had evidence much of the forensically analysed by the FBI to substantiate its credibility.

PL: In my contacts with Miller’s associates over the years since 2000, I have yet to hear anything about the FBI conducting any forensic analyses on Miller’s evidence. What evidence is he referring to? And what type of tests were done? More to come…
