A Brooklyn grandmother who went missing for nearly two weeks while visiting a longtime friend in Las Vegas has been found dead, KTNV reports.
Alisa Goods, 63, was last seen Aug. 8 as she left her friend’s apartment near the Las Vegas Strip to go shopping at a CVS pharmacy.
The mother of five’s body was found early Thursday near Terminal 1 at Harry Reid International Airport – police responded to the area around 1:45 a.m. after a body was found.
The outlet reported investigators found surveillance footage from the day she disappeared showing a woman believed to be Goods near the airport that same afternoon.
Police have not yet divulged her cause of death or spoken about how she ended up at the airport, compounding her family’s angst, which has steadily grown since they reported her missing.
“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. Words cannot describe the pain our family is experiencing right now,” Goods’ heartbroken niece, Alana Calloway, said in a statement.
“We just want to thank the public for the outpouring of love, support, and prayers. We also want to thank the media for helping bring attention to this situation. This hurts so deeply. We are still trying to learn the details surrounding her death. We ask for continued prayers and privacy as we grieve.”
Goods was in town visiting her friend of 20 years, Roger John, who called her “the nicest person you would meet.”
John, who police said is not a suspect in her disappearance, aided in the search effort by pasting flyers featuring Goods’ face around the area she was last seen.
Her family said Goods had recently undergone several surgical procedures on her legs, which would make it difficult for her to get far on foot.
After her disappearance, they grew increasingly suspicious when Goods’ disconnected cell phone started sending messages asking for money, and eventually Bitcoin.
Her daughter, Kristin, flew into town from New Jersey hoping to find her mother, even checking hospitals and morgues.
