The daughter of a New York grandmother who vanished while visiting Las Vegas nearly two weeks ago has traveled across the country to search for her mother, checking hospitals and morgues as the family grows increasingly desperate for answers.
Alisa Goods, a 63-year-old grandmother of five, was reported missing Aug. 10, two days after she was last seen while visiting a longtime friend in Las Vegas, according to her family.
“We have checked hospitals,” Goods’ daughter, Kristen Goods, told FOX5 Vegas. “We have checked morgues.”

Kristen traveled from New Jersey to Nevada to help search for her mother.
“I’m extremely worried,” she told the station.
Goods had been staying with Roger John, a friend of about 20 years whom she had visited in Las Vegas many times before, according to her family.
John previously told KLAS-TV that Goods left his apartment around 12:45 p.m. Aug. 8 to take a bus to a nearby CVS to go shopping.
“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.
Goods’ family told FOX5 she was later seen at a store near Paradise and Flamingo roads, where she bought supplements and water.
Kristen said she did not see the CVS surveillance video but spoke with the store manager about her mother’s visit.
“I did not see the CVS footage myself, but I was privy to some of the footage,” Kristen said. “By talking to the CVS manager that she was there.”
Goods never returned to her friend’s home after the shopping trip.

John notified Goods’ family that evening and filed a missing person report two days later, according to FOX5.
The family said they initially had questions about John but stressed that police do not consider him a suspect.
“To us, he is not a threat, and he’s also been cleared by the police,” Kristen told the station. “There isn’t anything to investigate in terms of his knowledge.”
Kristen said she is frustrated that surveillance cameras have not provided more clues about where her mother went.
“I’m extremely frustrated because I would think that this town would have so much more surveillance because it’s such a bustling area,” Kristen said. “I would think that there was a way for facial recognition to be able to locate someone.”
The family also does not believe Goods could have traveled far on foot. They said she recently underwent several leg surgeries that make it difficult for her to walk for long periods.
Police searched within a 20-mile radius of where Goods was last seen, according to FOX5. Family members have also posted flyers throughout the area hoping someone would recognize her.
Days after Goods disappeared, her family began receiving text messages from her phone asking for money and eventually Bitcoin.
The family said it does not know who sent the messages or whether Goods still had her phone.
