NEW YORK — A family is fearing the worst after a woman from New York City disappeared while on a trip to Las Vegas.<\/p>\n
Days later, the family started receiving suspicious texts from her phone asking for money.<\/p>\n
“But today, it’s been 10 days. It’s been 10 days. Where is she?” her niece Alana Calloway said.<\/p>\n
Alisa Goods has been missing for 10 days.<\/p>\n
Her close-knit family is holding it together after the fit and full-of-life 63-year-old went missing in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n
The family said she was staying with a good friend who told them Goods left the house to go to CVS on Saturday, Aug. 8 and never came back.<\/p>\n
“And my aunt Janelle told him, you need to file a missing persons report. It took him two days to file that report. Two days from him filing that report, it took four days for it to fall in the lap of a detective?” Calloway said.<\/p>\n
When the family finally spoke with a detective from the Las Vegas Police Department, they say they got nowhere.<\/p>\n
“And then reaching out to the detective only for her to tell me my aunt wasn’t a priority. When she reached out to me this past Sunday, she kind of doubled down on it to let me know ‘listen, she is not a priority,’ and I just can’t understand it? How could a person go missing in your city while visiting on vacation and she not be a priority?” Calloway said.<\/p>\n
While waiting to hear back about the investigation, Calloway has been calling her aunt’s cell phone.<\/p>\n
“So I called her again, and someone picked up, but they didn’t say anything. Then they hung up,” Calloway said.<\/p>\n
Last Wednesday, someone answered the call, hung up and started texting Calloway, identifying themselves as Goods, and asking for Bitcoin.<\/p>\n
They wrote, “you didn’t send the money, you said you did.”<\/p>\n
Calloway at one point wrote back, “Video call me!!!”<\/p>\n
The person wrote back, “Send the money so I can get my phone fixed and I’ll call you.”<\/p>\n
“We want to find her. We want to find her well and alive. We want her home,” Calloway said.<\/p>\n
Family members have traveled to Las Vegas to connect with police in person.<\/p>\n
Darla Miles reached out to the Las Vegas Police Department to share the family’s concerns and their response was “Alisa Goods is still a missing person and the investigation is ongoing.”<\/p>\n
