A heartbreaking discovery has been made in Las Vegas, where a beloved New York City grandmother was found deceased in a drainage ditch. Alisa Goods, 63, vanished under mysterious circumstances, and surveillance footage captured her final moments, revealing a troubling scene that has left her family and friends devastated.
Goods was last seen on August 8, after leaving her friend’s apartment near the bustling Las Vegas Strip. She was reportedly heading to a CVS store when she disappeared. The Las Vegas Metro Police Department shared that the footage shows her falling down an embankment, getting back up, and then collapsing, with no further movement detected afterward.
Tragically, her body was discovered 12 days later, on August 20, around 1:45 a. m. Authorities indicated that her remains were not visible from the street, adding to the mystery surrounding her disappearance.
Goods was in Las Vegas visiting her longtime friend, Roger John, who has been cooperative with law enforcement and is not considered a suspect in her case.
The family is mourning the loss of their matriarch, who was a mother of five and had recently undergone several surgeries on her legs. Alana Calloway, Goods’ niece, expressed the family’s profound sorrow, stating, “Our hearts are broken. We were notified that my aunt was found — unfortunately, not the way we wanted her to be.
This is an unimaginable time.”
She continued, thanking the public for their support and prayers during this difficult period. “We are still trying to learn the details surrounding her death. We ask for continued prayers and privacy as we grieve,” Calloway added.
As the investigation continues, authorities have yet to determine the cause of Goods’ death, leaving many questions unanswered. What could have led to such a tragic end for this loving grandmother?
