A New York grandmother who vanished without a trace while visiting Las Vegas earlier this month has been found dead, her family announced Friday.
Alisa Goods, a 63-year-old grandmother of five, was reported missing Aug. 10, two days after she was last seen leaving a friend's apartment near Maryland Parkway and Tropicana Avenue, according to her family and a missing person report obtained by Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department for additional information.
Goods had been staying with her longtime friend Roger John, who told KLAS-TV that she left his apartment around 12:45 p.m. Aug. 8 to take a bus to a nearby CVS to buy iron pills but never returned.
"Last I saw her, she was going down the stairs. And I said, 'OK, see you later,' And that's the last time I saw her," John told the station.
John said he was not immediately alarmed because Goods sometimes spent hours shopping. When she failed to return, however, he began calling and texting her before contacting her family.
"This is not like her to just go missing," Calloway previously told the outlet. "She has a family that loves her, cares about her. We want her home and want her home safe and alive."
The mystery surrounding Goods' disappearance deepened when her family said they began receiving unusual text messages from her phone on Aug. 12, four days after she was last seen.
The sender allegedly asked for gas money and Bitcoin , requests that raised suspicions because Goods did not drive and did not have a car in Las Vegas, according to her family.
"I said, 'What do you need gas for? The car?' My aunt does not drive. There is no car," Calloway told CBS News.
The family previously said the messages raised concerns that Goods may have been kidnapped. It was not immediately clear Friday who sent the messages.
