(Courtesy Alana Calloway)<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Her body was found in a drainage ditch near a parking structure Thursday after someone called to report a body near the airport, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The security video is from Aug. 8, it said, the day Goods&#8217; family said she went missing in Las Vegas while visiting a friend. Goods was from Brooklyn, family has said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Alana Calloway, Goods&#8217; niece, said her aunt was visiting a friend in Las Vegas and was headed to a pharmacy before she disappeared.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Her family said that after her disappearance, someone using her phone number texted relatives to ask for help in the form of bitcoin or a CashApp transfer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Police believe the texts may have come from scammers using &#8220;spoofing&#8221; technology to present themselves as texting under Goods&#8217; number. They said they didn&#8217;t believe Goods was in danger at the time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Police said the remains&#8217; identity was preliminary. Cause and manner of death were unavailable.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Calloway said the family is grieving.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;Our hearts are broken,&#8221; she said in a statement Friday. &#8220;Words cannot describe the pain our family is experiencing right now. We just want to thank the public for the outpouring of love, support, and prayers.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">This article was originally published on <a data-ylk=\"slk:NBCNews.com;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;link&quot;,&quot;yLinkElementType&quot;:&quot;article_link&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/news\/us-news\/missing-new-york-city-grandmother-found-dead-las-vegas-rcna593833\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">NBCNews.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The body of a missing 63-year-old grandmother from New York City was found near Harry Reid International Airport&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":1016772,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[5122],"tags":[406869,406868,5229,330208,2184,405,403,5226,5225,5228,5227,67,586,132,5230,68,2969,167827],"class_list":["post-1016771","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york","tag-alana-calloway","tag-alisa-goods","tag-america","tag-justin-sullivan","tag-las-vegas","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-newyork","tag-newyorkcity","tag-ny","tag-nyc","tag-united-states","tag-united-states-of-america","tag-unitedstates","tag-unitedstatesofamerica","tag-us","tag-usa","tag-wayne-newton"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/117138486650976127","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1016771","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1016771"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1016771\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1016772"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1016771"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1016771"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1016771"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
