Grandmother Vanishes in Las Vegas After Mysterious Bitcoin Texts

A 78‑year‑old New York grandmother, Alisa Goods, vanished from Las Vegas after leaving a friend’s apartment for a quick trip to CVS. Her family received a series of cryptic text messages from her phone demanding Bitcoin and gas money, sparking a frantic search and raising questions about the circumstances of her disappearance.

Alisa Goods’ Final Hours

Goods had been staying with a friend in Las Vegas when she left the apartment around 2 p.m. to buy groceries. She never returned, and her phone was found on the sidewalk near the CVS. The texts she sent after leaving the apartment were short, urgent, and requested Bitcoin payments and money for gas.

Family’s Response and the Mysterious Texts

Her family, who had not heard from her since the afternoon, received the messages on her phone. The texts read: “Send me Bitcoin. I need gas money.” The family immediately reported the disappearance to local authorities and posted the messages online to alert the public.

Law Enforcement Investigation

Las Vegas police are investigating the case as a missing person matter. They are reviewing surveillance footage from the CVS and surrounding area, and are working with the family to trace the origin of the texts. The investigation also involves cyber‑crime specialists to determine whether the messages were sent from Goods’ phone or a spoofed number.

What We Know About Bitcoin Demands

Bitcoin demands in missing‑person cases are not unheard of, but they add a layer of complexity. The family has not yet confirmed whether the texts were genuine requests or part of a scam. Authorities are urging anyone with information about the texts or the grandmother’s whereabouts to come forward.

Next Steps for the Family and Community

Goods’ family has set up a social‑media page to share updates and gather tips. They have also reached out to local charities for support during the search. The community is rallying to help locate the missing grandmother and bring closure to her loved ones.
