MISSING GRANDMOTHER’S PHONE SENT STRANGE MONEY REQUESTS — THEN SURVEILLANCE FOOTAGE REVEALED WHAT REALLY HAPPENED

For nearly two weeks, Alisa Goods’ family feared that something terrible had happened after the 63-year-old grandmother disappeared during a trip to Las Vegas.

Then came the disturbing messages.

Someone using Goods’ phone began contacting relatives and asking for money — first through Cash App and later requesting Bitcoin.

Her family immediately became suspicious.

Now, new details from surveillance footage have provided a crucial piece of the timeline.

SHE LEFT TO RUN A SIMPLE ERRAND

Goods had been staying with a longtime friend in Las Vegas when she left the apartment on August 8 to go to a nearby CVS.

She never returned.

Her family reported her missing, and relatives traveled to Las Vegas to help search for her.

The situation became even more confusing when messages began arriving from her phone.

One message reportedly asked for money for gas before the sender switched to Bitcoin.

For relatives who knew Goods well, something about the messages did not feel right.

THEN INVESTIGATORS FOUND THE CAMERA FOOTAGE

Goods was eventually found in a drainage ditch near Harry Reid International Airport.

Police later reviewed surveillance footage from the area.

The footage showed a woman believed to be Goods falling down an embankment on August 8.

She managed to get back up.

But moments later, she collapsed.

According to police, there was no further movement visible afterward.

The location was difficult to see from the surrounding streets, which helps explain why the search did not immediately lead investigators to her.

THE MESSAGES CREATED A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PICTURE

While the family was desperately searching for Goods, the messages from her phone suggested that she was still alive and in need of money.

That sent relatives looking in another direction.

But the surveillance footage now indicates that Goods may have been incapacitated near the airport on the very day she disappeared.

The identity of whoever sent the messages from her phone remains an important unanswered question.

WHAT HAPPENED AFTER SHE LEFT THE CVS?

That is still unclear.

Police have not publicly released a cause of death.

Investigators are continuing to examine the circumstances surrounding Goods’ final hours, including the suspicious communications sent from her device.

Her family had spent days searching hospitals, contacting authorities and appealing publicly for information.

They ultimately received the answer they had been desperately hoping would not come.

A FAMILY LEFT WITH ONE FINAL QUESTION

The discovery has helped establish part of Goods’ final timeline.

She left her friend’s apartment.

She was later captured on surveillance near the airport.

She fell down an embankment, got back up and then collapsed.

But the mystery surrounding the messages remains.

Who was using Alisa Goods’ phone — and why were they asking her family for money while she was lying just out of sight near the airport?

For her loved ones, that question may now be one of the most important remaining pieces of the investigation.
