Body of New York grandmother who went missing in Las Vegas found, sister says

The body of Alisa Goods, a 63-year-old grandmother from New York, has been discovered in a drainage ditch near Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas, according to her sister. Police confirmed the finding of Goods' body on Friday, stating that officers were dispatched to a report of a deceased woman in the area just before 2 a.m. on Thursday. Surveillance footage from the airport on Aug. 8 shows Goods falling down an embankment, getting back up, and then collapsing, with no further movement observed after that.

Goods went missing on Aug. 8 after leaving a friend's apartment to take a bus to CVS. Her family received messages from her phone on Aug. 10, requesting bitcoin, help, and gas money. Her niece, Alana Calloway, noted that the gas money request raised concerns, as Goods did not drive. The family had previously mentioned that Goods had undergone several surgeries, making it challenging for her to walk during this trip.

Given the high temperatures in Las Vegas, her family speculated that the extreme heat could have been a contributing factor to her disappearance.

CBS News has contacted the Clark County coroner's office for further information on the cause of death. The family expressed their deep love for Alisa, stating that her absence leaves a profound void in their lives. They are working together to navigate this loss and celebrate the memories they shared with their beloved grandmother.
