Body Found May Be Missing Elvis Fan

MEMPHIS, Tenn. - Memphis Police have found the body of a woman at the address where a missing Elvis fan from Scotland was last staying.

Officers found the body of a 40-year old woman at an apartment on the 600-block of Denmark in the South Bluffs area of Downtown Memphis. According to MPD Sgt. Karen Rudolph, there were no obvious signs of foul play and the cause of death has not been determined.

Police have not identified the victim, but former Shelby County Sheriff Gene Barksdale filed a missing persons report for his friend Gerrie Lawrie on August 20th after she did not return on her flight home to Aberdeen, Scotland. She had been in Memphis for Elvis Week, and was last known to be staying at the same address where the victim was found.

While the cause of death is still under investigation, some say the odd dissapearance of a tourist, a fellow Elvis fan, is devastating.

"Another fan, goin missin' after comin', I mean you don't know what to think," said Kyle Daigle.

"Tragedy, that you just have to worry, be so protective," said Raymond Karpovich.

"That's one of the last things you want to happen, so it's a sad situation," said John Merrick.

According to the police report, Lawire met some friends at the Elvis festival and planned to travel to Nashville on Friday, before returning to Memphis that night.

Police say Lawire has not returned her rental vehicle.
