ALISA GOODS: THE MYSTERIOUS TEXTS, SURVEILLANCE VIDEO AND THE FINAL MOMENTS BEFORE SHE WAS FOUND

For nearly two weeks, the family of 63-year-old Alisa Goods desperately searched for answers after the New York grandmother disappeared during a trip to Las Vegas.

Now, investigators have uncovered surveillance footage showing what may have been her final moments — while a bizarre trail of messages sent from her phone had already left her family fearing that something far more sinister had happened.

THE LAST MOVEMENTS CAPTURED ON CAMERA

Goods was visiting longtime friend Roger John in Las Vegas when she left his residence on August 8, reportedly intending to go to a nearby CVS.

She never returned.

According to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, surveillance footage from that same day showed Goods near Harry Reid International Airport.

The footage reportedly captured her falling down an embankment, getting back up and then collapsing again.

Police said there was no further movement observed after that. Her location could not be seen from the nearby street.

That detail may help explain why she was not discovered immediately.

THEN HER PHONE STARTED SENDING STRANGE MESSAGES

While Goods was missing, her family received messages from her phone requesting help, gas money and Bitcoin.

Her relatives immediately became suspicious.

The messages did not sound like Alisa, and the requests made little sense to the family because she did not drive during the trip.

Her niece, Alana Calloway, said the family feared someone else had gained access to the phone.

The mysterious messages became one of the most disturbing elements of the disappearance — although authorities have not publicly established that they were connected to Goods’ death.

 TWELVE DAYS LATER, THE SEARCH ENDED

Just before 2 a.m. on August 20, Las Vegas police responded to a report of a deceased woman in a drainage ditch near Wayne Newton Boulevard and the Terminal 1 parking garage at Harry Reid International Airport.

Officers found the woman and later identified her as Goods.

Police said the area where she was found was not visible from the street.

Her family had spent days searching for her and checking possible locations as they waited for any sign that she was still alive.

Instead, they received devastating news.

 ONE CRITICAL QUESTION REMAINS

The surveillance footage may explain where Goods ended up.

But it does not yet explain why she collapsed.

Authorities have not publicly announced her official cause or manner of death.

Goods had reportedly undergone several surgeries on her legs, which her family said made walking more difficult during the trip. That information could become relevant as investigators and the medical examiner reconstruct what happened.

At this stage, there is no publicly confirmed evidence establishing that another person caused her death.

 THE TIMELINE THAT NOW HAUNTS HER FAMILY

August 8: Goods leaves her friend’s residence to go shopping.

Later that day: Surveillance footage captures her near the airport.

She falls down an embankment.

She gets back up.

She collapses again.

No further movement is observed.

Her family later receives suspicious messages from her phone.

August 20: Police discover her body in a drainage ditch near the airport.

The timeline has given investigators a crucial piece of evidence — but many questions remain unanswered.

 “OUR HEARTS ARE BROKEN”

Goods’ family has asked for privacy as they grieve.

Her relatives described the news as unimaginable and thanked the public and media for helping bring attention to the search.

Her longtime friend Roger John, who was with her before she disappeared, was not considered a suspect and assisted with efforts to find her.

Now the family faces a painful reality: the search for Alisa is over, but the investigation into her final hours continues.

 THE MYSTERY ISN’T OVER

The surveillance footage has potentially answered one question:

Where was Alisa Goods after she disappeared?

But another question may be even more important:

What caused her to collapse — and what happened during the final moments of her life?

Until the medical examiner completes the investigation, those answers remain unknown.

A missing grandmother. A phone sending mysterious messages. A surveillance camera capturing a sudden collapse. And a hidden drainage ditch where she was found 12 days later.

The search for Alisa Goods has ended. Now, her family is waiting for the answers.
