LAS VEGAS (KSNV) \u2014 Nearly two weeks after 63-year-old Alisa Goods was last seen, her family is pleading for help as they search for the New York grandmother who disappeared <\/a>after her last known location was traced to a CVS pharmacy near the intersection of Harmon and Paradise.<\/p>\n

Goods\u2019 daughter, Kristen Goods, said her mother is typically in constant contact and would not suddenly stop communicating.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe would never drop off of the radar. She would never drop off of the radar. And especially for this amount of time. It is alarming,\u201d Kristen Goods said.<\/p>\n

Kristen Goods said there are daily routines her mother follows with her phone that have now stopped.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe would never not be in touch with her mom. There is just specific things that she has just ritually done with her phone that we know to be a daily thing that she would do. And now things have just ceased, and we do not know where she is,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Goods\u2019 niece, Alana Calloway, said she began receiving unusual messages from one of Goods\u2019 phones.<\/p>\n

\u201cI received a text immediately saying, \u2018Hi, Alana.\u2019 I knew right away. It did not sound the way she and I would normally communicate,\u201d Calloway said.<\/p>\n

The same number also contacted Goods\u2019 son, with requests that Calloway said escalated from gas money to a need for Bitcoin.<\/p>\n

Former FBI agent Ray Johnson said the situation could involve a ‘spoofed’ phone number or hijacked account.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom the outside looking in, any number of things can come to play here,\u201d Johnson said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is very common to have your account hijacked or what is often called ‘spoofed\u2019. And if you have your e-sim transferred or you have your identity taken over electronically, it is very easy to make a phone call appearing to be you,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Johnson said he expects Las Vegas Metropolitan Police investigators to focus on surveillance video from Goods\u2019 last known whereabouts and that the FBI could potentially assist.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn a case like this, as an investigator, my most important thing right now is proof of life and corroboration of known evidence,\u201d Johnson said.<\/p>\n

As the search continues, Kristen Goods asked the public to think back to any interaction that might stand out.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlways got her teeth showing. Always looking to say, \u2018How are you doing?\u2019 To give that, I will not say grandmotherly, but I will say lovingly type of \u2018Hi, nice to meet you. I am who I am, and it is good to see you,\u2019\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Kristen Goods said her mother is a central figure in their family and they want her home.<\/p>\n

\u201cA mother, a grandmother, a great-grandmother. She has a lot of hats, and she means a lot to a lot of people, and we just want her back,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Calloway also urged anyone with information to come forward.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnybody out there that is watching and that can help, we are asking for help. More importantly, she is still missing. She is still missing. Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, she is still missing,\u201d Calloway said.<\/p>\n

The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department has confirmed to News 3 that they are investigating Goods’ whereabouts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"LAS VEGAS (KSNV) \u2014 Nearly two weeks after 63-year-old Alisa Goods was last seen, her family is pleading…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":325431,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[9,11,10],"class_list":["post-325430","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-headlines","tag-new-york-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/325430","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=325430"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/325430\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/325431"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=325430"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=325430"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=325430"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
