In a shocking turn of events, Victoria Goodwin, the wife of Ghost Adventures star Aaron Goodwin, has been arrested for allegedly plotting to hire a hitman to kill her husband. According to police reports, Victoria was charged with solicitation to commit murder and conspiracy to commit murder after authorities uncovered her alleged plan while Aaron was filming the popular paranormal series in California.
The investigation began when corrections officers in Florida discovered messages on a contraband phone belonging to an inmate. The messages reportedly revealed Victoria’s intent to “end [Aaron’s] existence” rather than pursue a divorce. She allegedly provided details about Aaron’s filming schedule and location, along with a payment plan totaling $11,515, including an upfront fee of $2,500.
In one chilling exchange, the inmate reportedly asked for updates, writing, “He’s asleep right now in the hotel room… I need to know what’s going on. Was it done?” The plot allegedly unfolded in October, though Aaron remains unharmed. It’s unclear whether the hitman ever acted on the plan.
When questioned by police, Victoria denied wanting Aaron dead, claiming she was merely “daydreaming” about life without him.
She also stated she didn’t recall sending the messages and insisted she had no intention of harming her husband. Regarding the money, she claimed it was meant for cell phones, not a hitman, and admitted the couple was experiencing marital issues.
Aaron, who married Victoria in August 2022 at Disneyland’s Haunted Mansion, expressed devastation over the allegations, saying he believed they were in a happy marriage. His Ghost Adventures co-star, Zak Bagans, has been offering support during this emotional time.
Victoria is currently being held on $100,000 bail, and it appears she remains in police custody as the investigation continues.
