'Ghost Adventures' Aaron Goodwin's Wife Victoria, Arrested, Allegedly Tried to Hire Hitman

 

In a shocking turn of events, Ghost Adventures star Aaron Goodwin's wife, Victoria Goodwin, has been arrested on charges of plotting to have him murdered. The 48-year-old paranormal investigator was reportedly the target of a disturbing scheme involving an inmate in a Florida prison, authorities confirmed.

Victoria, 31, was taken into custody last week following an investigation that uncovered her attempts to hire a hitman to kill her husband. According to reports from TMZ, Victoria sought out a prison inmate in October 2024 to arrange for the murder, offering a total payment of $11,515 for the job.

Police also discovered a disturbing exchange of text messages, where Victoria allegedly asked, "Am I a bad person? Because I chose to end his existence. Not divorce."

The authorities uncovered the plot when prison officials discovered messages on the inmate's phone. Victoria was arrested on charges of solicitation to commit murder and conspiracy to commit murder. At the time of the arrest, she was being held on $100,000 bail.

Victoria allegedly initiated the discussions about ending her marriage after it became apparent she was unhappy with her relationship. In one message, she admitted to the inmate that her marriage was in distress, and said, "I told him I was unhappy, but I just want out."

Victoria’s shocking plan came to light while Aaron was filming Ghost Adventures in California, and she had provided the inmate with details of his whereabouts during his travels. The alleged plot involved Victoria sending a down payment of $2,500 to the hitman. Police are investigating further as they piece together the details of the scheme.

While the situation unfolded, Aaron had no knowledge of his wife’s alleged intentions. In fact, he appeared to be enjoying a happy marriage, recently sharing a picture on Instagram from a Valentine’s Day outing with Victoria. Fans were left stunned as they speculated over the irony of his post amidst the unfolding news.

“Sending you love and light Aaron you’re a great guy,” one user commented on his Instagram, while another expressed shock saying, “What an awful thing for your wife to do. I’m so sorry.”

Victoria has denied the accusations, claiming the messages were the result of "daydreaming or fantasizing about being without her husband." She insists she never had any intention to follow through with the plot and attributed the communication to moments of distress.

As the investigation continues, fans and loved ones have rallied behind Aaron, with many expressing their disbelief and offering support through social media.

Victoria's arrest has shaken the Ghost Adventures community, and Zak Bagans, Aaron's co-host, has stated that the situation has been emotionally taxing for the TV star, adding that he is “trying to give him love and support.”

Fans are left reeling as this unsettling story continues to unfold, leaving many to wonder what the true nature of the couple’s relationship was like behind the scenes.
