The shocking news of “Ghost Adventures” star Aaron Goodwin’s wife allegedly attempting to hire a hitman to kill him has sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry. Victoria Goodwin, 32, was arrested and charged with solicitation to commit murder and conspiracy to murder after an investigation revealed her sinister plot, as reported by TMZ.
According to police reports, Victoria had been communicating with an inmate at a Florida prison since October 2024, expressing her desire to end her husband’s life rather than seek a divorce. Messages exchanged between Victoria and the inmate revealed her willingness to pay $11,515 for the hit and provide details about her husband’s whereabouts to facilitate the murder.
The chilling plot unfolded while Aaron Goodwin was filming “Ghost Adventures” in California, with Victoria allegedly making a down payment of $2,500 to have her husband killed. Despite her denial of wanting to harm her husband, evidence from the investigation suggests otherwise.
Victoria claimed that she was only “daydreaming or fantasizing” about being without her husband and did not recall sending the messages about the murder-for-hire plot. She admitted to marital problems but insisted that she did not intend to have Aaron murdered.
Victoria Lynn Goodwin was arrested in Nevada on charges of solicitation to commit murder and conspiracy to commit murder and is currently held on $100,000 bail. She is scheduled to appear in court, where the details of the case will be further examined.
Aaron Goodwin, who was reportedly blindsided by the news, is said to be devastated by the betrayal. The couple, who tied the knot at Disneyland’s Haunted Mansion in August 2022, seemed to have a happy marriage, making this turn of events even more shocking.
Aaron Goodwin is best known for his role on “Ghost Adventures” alongside paranormal investigator Zak Bagans. Bagans expressed his support for his friend during this emotional time, highlighting their longstanding friendship and collaboration on the popular paranormal show since its premiere in 2008.
The news of Victoria Goodwin’s alleged murder-for-hire plot has left fans and colleagues of the couple stunned, as they navigate through this troubling and unexpected situation. As the case unfolds in court, more details about the motive behind the chilling plot will likely come to light.
