Law enforcement officials have announced the arrest of an individual connected to a murder scheme targeting Aaron Goodwin, the host of Ghost Adventures.
While unexpected events are common in Ghost Adventures episodes, this situation was likely beyond what Goodwin anticipated…
The police stated that Victoria Goodwin, Aaron’s wife, was detained over allegations of hiring someone to carry out his murder.
According to the booking details in Clark County, Nevada, Victoria was apprehended last week and faces two accusations: solicitation to commit murder and conspiracy to commit murder.
Victoria is scheduled for her first court hearing today (March 11), based on claims that she contacted a hitman last October with intentions of executing the plan.
The arrest documentation reveals that Victoria communicated with a Florida prison inmate about ending her marriage to Goodwin.
During their exchanges, she purportedly questioned, ‘Am I a bad person? Because I chose to end his existence. Not divorce’.
Officials have indicated that Victoria disclosed details regarding her husband’s location, along with filming schedules and sites while he was engaged with Ghost Adventures in California.
The murder attempt reportedly occurred while Goodwin was filming on location with fellow paranormal investigator Zak Bagans.
The authorities also disclosed messages discussing an initial $2,500 payment for carrying out the crime against the TV personality.
Furthermore, Victoria allegedly reserved over $11,000 for the hitman, with the inmate having conversed with a different person about the scheme.
Authorities reported the inmate messaging someone saying: “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?”
Fortunately, Goodwin is unharmed, and the plot came to light after the inmate’s unauthorized phone was found by prison staff.
Victoria has refuted any intent to harm her husband, claiming her thoughts were mere fantasy about escaping her marriage.
The couple wed in August 2022 at Disneyland’s Haunted Mansion.
Speaking with TMZ, Goodwin expressed his shock at the revelations, as he believed his marriage was happy.
Victoria remains in custody, as reported by the outlet, with bail set at $100k.
