The FBI is now involved in the case of the stolen Elvis jewelry. The FBI has joined the investigation into the robbery at the Elvis-A-Rama museum in Las Vegas on March 14.

Thieves took more than $300,000 worth of Elvis Presley's jewelry from the museum, including his ruby diamond ring, a high school ring and a diamond pendant and chain.

With the FBI involved, authorities will be able to search a database used by law enforcement agencies throughout the world. The database provides information involving the theft of art or artifacts with significant historical or artistic importance.

In other news, a new exhibit in Kentucky will focus on the kind of soldier Elvis Presley was and it turns out he was a good one. The Patton Museum in Fort Knox, Ky., is hosting a year-long exhibit on Elvis' military career, beginning from when he was drafted in 1958.
Elvis ended up in Germany with a reconnaissance team, instead of another route which would have had Presley in the USO entertaining troops. The exhibit features photos, uniforms, video interviews and military memorabilia.

Museum director Frank Jardim says Elvis turned out to be a very good soldier, and the exhibit will focus on how the military and a famous person adjusted to each other.

Elvis Presley Video Tupelo's Own Elvis Presley DVD

Never before have we seen an Elvis Presley concert from the 1950's with sound. Until Now! The DVD Contains recently discovered unreleased film of Elvis performing 6 songs, including Heartbreak Hotel and Don't Be Cruel, live in Tupelo Mississippi 1956. Included we see a live performance of the elusive Long Tall Sally seen here for the first time ever. + Plus Bonus DVD Audio.

This is an excellent release no fan should be without it.

The 'parade' footage is good to see as it puts you in the right context with color and b&w footage. The interviews of Elvis' Parents are well worth hearing too. The afternoon show footage is wonderful and electrifying : Here is Elvis in his prime rocking and rolling in front of 11.000 people. Highly recommended.
