A grieving daughter has corrected the record on her mother’s final movements before she was found dead near a Las Vegas airport.
Kristen Goods revealed that her mother, Alisa Goods, 63, never boarded a bus after visiting a CVS in Las Vegas as previously believed. The Upper East Side grandmother instead continued walking toward the area where she would later be discovered deceased in a ditch, Kristen told Channel 13.

Airport Control surveillance captured a critical moment in the grandmother’s final hours. The footage showed Goods attempting to walk up the embankment of a ditch at 2:17 p.m. On Aug. 8, according to a police report cited by the outlet. She fell down into it and was unable to get out.
A homeless man eventually found Goods dead in the ditch, bringing a tragic end to the search for the missing woman. The discovery came after she had gone missing following her activities in the Las Vegas area.
The new timeline established by authorities and shared with the family has replaced earlier assumptions about how Goods spent her last hours. The bus ride theory had initially seemed to explain her movements after the CVS visit, but Kristen Goods’s account to Channel 13 has now ruled that out.
The police report detailing the surveillance footage has provided the most concrete information yet about what happened to the 63-year-old in the hours before her death. The 2:17 p.m. Timestamp offers a precise marker in a case that had left family members searching for answers.
Goods’s death has drawn attention to the circumstances surrounding her disappearance from the Upper East Side community she called home. The New York City grandmother had traveled to Las Vegas, where her trip took an unexpected and fatal turn.
The ditch where Goods fell and was later found sits near Harry Reid International Airport, a major transportation hub serving the Las Vegas area. The location has raised questions about how a visitor to the city ended up in such a precarious situation without assistance.
Kristen Goods has emerged as the family’s voice in understanding what happened to her mother. Her statements to local television have helped clarify the record as authorities continue to piece together the full sequence of events.
The surveillance footage from Airport Control has become a key piece of evidence in reconstructing the grandmother’s final moments. The video showed her struggle with the embankment, a physical challenge that proved insurmountable.
The gap between the CVS visit and the 2:17 p.m. Footage remains partially unclear, though the walking route she took has now been established. What led her to the ditch area rather than back toward more populated sections of the city is among the lingering questions.
The case has highlighted the vulnerability of elderly travelers in unfamiliar urban environments. Goods’s experience walking alone in Las Vegas ultimately led to a fatal accident that might have been preventable with earlier intervention or assistance.
The family’s grief has been compounded by the public nature of the investigation and the corrections to earlier theories about Goods’s movements. Kristen Goods’s willingness to speak with Channel 13 has helped ensure more accurate information circulates about her mother’s final day.
