Who Was Alisa Goods? Missing New Yorker Found Dead in Las Vegas

Alisa Goods, a 63-year-old Brooklyn grandmother who vanished during a trip to Las Vegas, has been found dead, relatives said.

Alisa Goods, a 63-year-old grandmother from Brooklyn, New York, was discovered dead in a drainage ditch near Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas. Her body was found on August 10, 2022, after being reported missing two days prior. Surveillance footage showed a woman falling down an embankment, getting back up, and collapsing, but there was no further movement observed.

Goods had been visiting a friend in Las Vegas and had gone to a pharmacy before disappearing. Her daughter, Kristen, confirmed her death in an online fundraiser post. The family is devastated by the loss, and a friend of Goods was not considered a suspect in her disappearance. An online fundraiser for her family has raised over $1,100.
