The shocking revelation that Victoria Goodwin, the wife of Ghost Adventures star Aaron Goodwin, allegedly plotted to have her husband murdered has sent ripples through the entertainment world. The arrest, which took place on March 6, has left many fans and followers of the paranormal investigator in disbelief.
According to reports, Victoria was booked in Nevada on charges of solicitation to commit murder and conspiracy to commit murder, following the discovery of incriminating messages exchanged with an inmate in a Florida prison.
The alleged plot, reportedly devised in October 2024, has raised serious questions about the nature of their marriage, which, from the outside, appeared to be a loving relationship.
The Unraveling of a Marriage
Aaron Goodwin, known for his role as a paranormal investigator on Ghost Adventures, was reportedly blindsided by the news of his wife’s arrest. The couple had tied the knot in 2022 at Disneyland’s Haunted Mansion, and their social media posts painted the picture of a happy and committed marriage.
However, beneath the surface, the relationship may have been plagued by deep-seated issues. Victoria Goodwin allegedly sent a text message to the inmate stating, “Am I a bad person? Because I chose to end his existence. Not divorce.” This message, among others, was seized when correction officers discovered the Florida inmate’s contraband phone.
The report suggests that Victoria had not only contemplated the murder but had actively provided details about Aaron’s whereabouts. At the time of the alleged plot, Aaron was in California filming Ghost Adventures.

She reportedly updated the inmate about his location, even messaging, “He’s asleep right now in the hotel room … I need to know what’s going on. Can I get an update? Was it done?” These messages indicate a clear intent and involvement in orchestrating the crime. Authorities believe that she agreed to pay the hitman $11,515, with an initial payment of $2,500.
The Investigation and Arrest
Authorities became aware of the alleged murder-for-hire scheme when they intercepted the Florida inmate’s illicit phone. Once the messages were examined, law enforcement officials quickly moved to arrest Victoria Goodwin in Nevada.

Despite the overwhelming evidence, Victoria has denied any intention of having her husband killed. According to police reports, she attributed the messages to “daydreaming or fantasizing about being without her husband.” However, given the level of detail in her messages, law enforcement officials found this explanation insufficient.
Victoria is currently being held in Clark County Jail, with her bail set at $100,000. She is expected to appear for an initial court hearing on Tuesday morning. Legal experts speculate that given the nature of the charges and the digital evidence against her, she may face significant legal consequences if found guilty.
Aaron Goodwin’s Reaction and Public Support
For Aaron Goodwin, the revelation of the alleged murder plot has been nothing short of devastating. Speaking to TMZ, he expressed his shock and disbelief, stating that he genuinely believed he was in a happy marriage. His social media posts leading up to the arrest showed no indication of trouble in their relationship.
On Valentine’s Day, he had even posted a picture of Victoria playing miniature golf with the caption, “My valentine always beats me at mini golf,” to which she replied, “I love you valentine.” Such messages, in hindsight, now seem to contradict the reality of what was allegedly happening behind the scenes.
Aaron’s co-star and friend, Zak Bagans, has been supporting him through this emotionally difficult time. Zak told TMZ that he is trying to provide Aaron with love and encouragement as he processes the shocking turn of events.
Fans of Ghost Adventures have also rallied behind Aaron, flooding his social media pages with messages of support and encouragement. Many have expressed disbelief at the situation, with some commenting on how surreal it is that a paranormal investigator, who often explores eerie and supernatural mysteries, is now caught up in a real-life crime drama.
The unfolding case of Victoria Goodwin’s alleged plot to kill Aaron Goodwin remains under investigation. With her court hearing scheduled, legal proceedings will determine the full extent of her involvement and any potential sentencing.
For now, Aaron Goodwin and his supporters are left grappling with the shocking betrayal and seeking justice for what could have been a tragic outcome.
