On December 21, 1970, Elvis Presley stood in the Oval Office and shook hands with Richard Nixon. He wasn’t there for a photo op; he was there to request a badge as a “Federal Agent-at-Large.” Most dismissed it as a hobby, but what if it was the beginning of the end for the Elvis we knew?
The “Jon Burrows” Connection
Just hours after the world was told Elvis had passed away, a man bearing a striking resemblance to the King was seen at the Memphis International Airport. He purchased a one-way ticket to Buenos Aires under the name “Jon Burrows.” Why is this significant? “Jon Burrows” was the exact alias Elvis used for years when booking hotels and travel to avoid the press.
