The heartbroken daughter of New York grandmother Alisa Goods has revealed what the surveillance video that captured her final moments showed — before she was later found dead in an embankment.
Goods, 63, plunged down an embankment near Las Vegas’ Harry Reid International Airport on Aug. 8 and wasn’t found until 12 days later when a homeless man spotted her body.
Now, her daughter, Kristen Goods, has documented the mom of five’s final moments after she was seen in footage moments before the fall.

“She kind of looked like she had a heat exhaustion look to her and that she sat down and she then threw her bag that she was carrying over that embankment and proceeded to take herself over the embankment,” she told the NBC affiliate KSNV Monday.
“We were a little bit taken aback by that.”
Video showed Goods “falling down an embankment, getting back up and then collapsing,” Las Vegas police said, after she left her longtime pal, Roger John’s, apartment to go to a CVS pharmacy on Sin City’s iconic strip.
But Kristen Goods said it was out of character for her mother to walk alone in the heat as she continues to demand answers about the circumstances leading up to her death.
Goods’ cause of death has not been released, and the family may face an agonizing wait until November.
It could take between six and 12 weeks to complete the autopsy and final report.

Kristen Goods said her mom was found with a fanny pack, but police haven’t released any further details about it.
Alisa Goods was reported missing by John two days after she left his apartment.
Her family became highly concerned for her welfare after receiving suspicious texts from her cell phone.
Goods’ niece, Alana Calloway, recounted how the family received odd texts from her phone on Aug. 12 about credit card issues at a gas station.
That instantly raised suspicions as Goods hadn’t hired a car for her trip to Vegas.

Calloway continued to press the person on the other end of the phone as she tried to determine if it was her aunt actually messaging.
“I said, ‘Well, okay, I can send you money for gas. How much do you want me to send you?’” Calloway told Fox8, recounting the texts.
“Then they wanted the bitcoin. And then I said, ‘Well, hold on. Let me get Kelly to help.’ We have nobody in our family named Kelly.”
Calloway said Goods would’ve known who “Kelly” was if her aunt was actually sending the texts.
“That was alarming,” she said, describing the ordeal.
Goods was found near the airport’s Terminal 1 parking garage and Wayne Newton Boulevard before being formally identified.
