Aaron Goodwin’s wife allegedly wanted him to turn into a ghost.
TheGhost Adventures star’s wife Victoria Goodwin was arrested on March 6 on felony charges of solicitation to commit murder and conspiracy to commit murder, per Clark County, Nevada, inmate records obtained by E! News.
Victoria’s bail has been set, the records show, at $100,000 and her initial court appearance was set for March 11. She has since pled not guilty, according to Entertainment Tonight.
E! News has reached out to police, reps for Aaron and any legal representation for Victoria for comment but has not yet heard back.
According to an arrest report obtained by E! News March 12, police say Victoria was allegedly messaging an inmate in a Florida prison about her marriage with Aaron. “Am I a bad person?” she asked, per the docs. “Because I chose to end his existence. Not divorce.”
Police say Victoria provided information about Aaron’s Ghost Adventures filming schedule, including location and timing. They also say she set aside $11,515 to pay the alleged hitman.
“He’s asleep right now in the hotel room,” she allegedly messaged the hitman, according to the docs. “I need to know what’s going on. Can I get an update. Was it done?”
The alleged murder plot occurred in October, with police saying there were messages concerning an upfront payment of $2,500. Police became aware of the plot, the docs state, after the Florida inmate’s phone was seized.
Authorities also state that Victoria has denied wanting her husband to be killed, claiming she was fantasizing about being without him, and that she didn’t remember sending the messages. She said she thought the messages about money were for a cell phone, though she admitted she and Aaron had been experiencing marital problems.
For his part, Aaron—who married Victoria in 2022—told TMZ he thought his marriage was a happy one and is both blindsided and devastated by the alleged plot.
Prior to Victoria’s March 6 arrest, she and Aaron had both shared multiple recent posts about their relationship—including respective posts about their Valentine’s Day mini golf date. Victoria captioned her holiday post, alongside a red heart, “Mini golf with my Valentine.”
She also shared a look at Aaron’s Valentine’s gift to her: the Twilight house Lego set.
“Finally finished my Valentine gift,” she captioned a Feb. 23 video of the completed set. “I love you sm @aarongoodwin.”
