NEW DETAILS REVEALED IN MYSTERY OF MISSING GRANDMA OF 5 FOUND IN DITCH NEAR LAS VEGAS AIRPORT

The mystery surrounding the disappearance of a 63-year-old New York grandmother has taken a heartbreaking turn after newly revealed surveillance footage shed light on her final known moments near a Las Vegas airport.

Alisa Goods, a grandmother of five, traveled to Las Vegas to visit a longtime friend. She disappeared on Aug. 8, 2026, after leaving her friend’s home to run errands.

Twelve days later, her body was discovered in a drainage ditch near Harry Reid International Airport.

Now, investigators have revealed what surveillance footage shows happened shortly before her disappearance — raising new questions about how Goods ended up at the airport and what happened in her final moments.

SURVEILLANCE VIDEO CAPTURES HER FINAL MOMENTS

According to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, surveillance footage from Aug. 8 shows Goods near the airport.

Investigators say the footage appears to show her falling down an embankment.

She then managed to get back up before collapsing again.

After that, police observed no further movement.

The location where Goods was found could not be easily seen from the surrounding street, according to investigators, potentially explaining why she remained undiscovered for nearly two weeks.

The footage has become a key piece of information as authorities work to reconstruct the circumstances surrounding her disappearance.

SHE HAD TRAVELED TO LAS VEGAS TO SEE A FRIEND

Goods had traveled from New York to Las Vegas to visit a longtime friend.

On Aug. 8, she left the friend’s home, telling those around her that she was going shopping and planned to visit a CVS.

She never returned.

As hours turned into days, her family became increasingly concerned and began a desperate search for the missing grandmother.

Her loved ones traveled to Las Vegas, distributed flyers and appealed publicly for information that could help locate her.

MYSTERIOUS MESSAGES DEEPENED THE FAMILY’S FEARS

During the search, Goods’ family reported receiving disturbing messages from her phone.

The messages allegedly requested money, gas and Bitcoin.

For relatives who already feared that something had happened to Goods, the messages raised immediate questions about whether someone else had access to her phone.

Police later determined that the messages were not connected to Goods’ disappearance, according to reports.

Still, the communications added another layer of uncertainty during an already frantic search.

BODY DISCOVERED NEAR AIRPORT PARKING GARAGE

On Aug. 20, authorities received a call about a woman found in a drainage ditch near Wayne Newton Boulevard and the Terminal 1 parking garage at Harry Reid International Airport.

Officers responded and identified the woman as Goods.

The discovery brought an end to the family’s nearly two-week search — but it also left them facing devastating questions.

According to PEOPLE, a homeless man discovered the body and alerted parking attendants, who then contacted authorities.

CAUSE OF DEATH REMAINS UNKNOWN

Authorities have not publicly released Goods’ cause or manner of death.

The surveillance footage provides information about her movements, but investigators have not announced exactly what caused her collapse or how she ultimately died.

Her recent mobility difficulties have also been reported as part of the circumstances surrounding the case, although authorities have not said whether those issues played a role.

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

A FAMILY LEFT WITH HEARTBREAK

Goods’ niece, Alana Calloway, expressed the family’s devastation following the discovery.

The family had spent days hoping for a different outcome and thanking members of the public and media who helped spread the word about Goods’ disappearance.

Her daughter, Kristen, also launched a fundraising campaign to help cover funeral and memorial expenses.

By Aug. 27, the campaign had reportedly raised more than $17,000.

For the family, the focus has now shifted from finding Alisa to honoring her memory.

QUESTIONS STILL SURROUND HER FINAL HOURS

The newly revealed surveillance footage answers one important question — investigators now have a clearer picture of where Goods was and what happened immediately before she collapsed.

But several questions remain.

Why did she end up near the airport?

What caused her to fall?

Why was she unable to get back up after collapsing a second time?

And what happened between the time she left her friend’s home and the moment she appeared on surveillance footage near the airport?

Authorities have not publicly provided definitive answers.

A HEARTBREAKING END TO A DESPERATE SEARCH

For nearly two weeks, Alisa Goods’ family searched Las Vegas hoping to bring the grandmother of five home.

Instead, they received the news no family wants to hear.

Now, investigators are working to establish exactly what happened during Goods’ final hours.

The surveillance footage may provide an important piece of that puzzle, but the full circumstances surrounding her death remain under investigation.

For her loved ones, however, the case is no longer simply about a missing-person search.

It is about a mother, grandmother and friend whose family is now left waiting for answers — and trying to make sense of a devastating loss that began with a simple trip to Las Vegas.
