Elvis Presley's Forgotten Children - The National Enquirer 2 year worldwide investigation

The National Enquirer reported on January 8th that Elvis Presley "supposedly" fathered SEVEN children aside from his daughter, Lisa Marie Presley now 47. The gossip magazine claims they have conducted an exhaustive two-year worldwide investigation into Elvis’ missing family. And the astonishing findings have been verified by DNA tests, birth certificates, personal correspondence, check receipts and witness testimony! The Enquirer goes on to "supposedly" reveals the names and details of Elvis’ lost boys and girls.

1987 book 

In MY PERSONAL OPINION, with over 26 years in the Elvis World, I personally DO NOT believe any of this! It's laughable.There are some names in this "bombshell" report that many long time fans will recognize from past scandals. Remember Lucy de Barbin and her daughter Desiree? They published the book, Are You Lonesome Tonight? in 1987. Here's what the Enquirer says about this supposed "love child",

Desiree Romaine Presley, 57: This statuesque former model lives in L.A., and was born after Elvis plunged into a secret 24-year affair with Lucy de Barbin. Desiree's mom met Elvis at a 1953 party near Shreveport when he was on tour. Desiree’s birth certificate lists her father as Randolph Presley, a 30-year-old civil engineer at Oklahoma City’s Tinker Air Force Base — but the military has no record of such a person!

Second and this name might be more well known to fans, Lisa Johansen, The Enquirer says this about Lisa 47, This woman remains one of Elvis' most bizarre mysteries. Lisa Johansen is a married mother-of-four has a law degree and lives in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. She claims that she was spirited out of Graceland after Elvis’ Aug. 16, 1977, death for security reasons when she was just nine years old. She insists she was taken to Sweden and replaced by an imposter — who later became Lisa Marie! A trove of photos reveal Lisa continued a relationship with the Presley clan after her time at Graceland. One snapshot shows her with Priscilla’s late brother, Tom Beaulieu. In another, three of her children are with Priscilla and Priscilla’s mother, Ann Beaulieu! 

I hear the Twilight Zone theme, don't you? As for her photos with the Priscilla's family, ANYONE can get those! Most of us fans have them because the family is so accessible to the fans. They love meeting fans from all over the world. This proves NOTHING to me! I can tell you about recent court cases in which a photo of Priscilla Presley was used and it proved NOTHING! People sometimes approach the family under false pretenses.

Now here are the others, from the National Enquirer two year worldwide investigation:

John Smith, 54: This country singer, songwriter and author actually became part of the Presley clan! He was the result of an affair with Zona Marie Anderson Roach — who was Elvis’ cousin by marriage — in July 1961. At 16 months, John was adopted by Ira Dee Smith, brother of Elvis’ mother, Gladys. He lives in Scottsdale, Ariz. Dennis or John?

Candy Jo Fuller, 58: This former country singer in Seward County, Neb., is the daughter of Gloria Lahrs, a Shreveport actress who used the stage name "Terri Taylor." After a 1957 concert, she took Elvis and his band to her mother’s restaurant to eat. Later, she and Elvis left the band behind, went to the King’s hotel and made love. Elvis’ cousin Gene Smith has recalled “Terri Taylor and her romance with Elvis.” 

Dieter, 56: This mystery man came from a conventional one-night-stand after Elvis arrived in Germany in October 1958 as part of the U.S. Army’s 3rd Armored Division. His mom, Ingrid, was just 16 when she met the singer in town and later visited his rented home in Bad Nauheim. Dieter insists DNA tests prove he’s the music legend’s son! He's thrived as a businessman and self-made millionaire in Frankfurt, Germany, and asked that his last name be withheld. 

The ENQUIRER reports Elvis "supposedly" watched over his kids from afar — and often gave them secret financial and career support. Dieter, for example, said he came from a wealthy family — yet, mysteriously, his adoptive father never had a well-paying job!

If EP KNEW about his "SUPPOSED" Kids, he would have provided for them in his will. Elvis was a family man and that is said without any doubt in my opinion.

Leroy Kuzma, 33 (deceased): This young man grew up in Texas, settled in southern California and tragically died in 1994. Elvis met Leroy’s mom, Margot Heine Kuzma, in a Frankfurt café where she was singing in August of 1959. The pair enjoyed steamy meetings in an apartment Elvis rented for her, she claimed.

We all know the minute Elvis met Priscilla in Germany, they spent much of Elvis' free time together and he had Anita here back at home. What bothers me most with this story is, in my personal opinion, none of them look ANYTHING like Elvis. And I am being polite here;)

It's a very easy story to say while EP was in Germany or on the road, any of this could have possibly happened. But it's obvious by looking at Elvis' legitimate daughter, Lisa Marie Presley that his genes are very strong! 

You see similar far fetched stories pop up with Elvis memorabilia, I am using examples, nothing Specific.
Let's say for example a radio, a shirt, a teddy bear will pop up for sale with a story that Elvis came outside his home in Germany to sign autographs and gave this away to a sweet little lady or fellow soldier. Similar stories from the road, Vegas, and  Memphis. In this day and age, you can not just believe a story or a photo. Take for example, a photo of someone with the Presley family does not mean they are friends or endorsed by the Presley's. 

I haven't seen any mind blowing evidence here.

 So to sum this up.....Impossible? No. Possible?  Highly doubtable, in my opinion.
