‘Ghost Adventures’ star Aaron Goodwin breaks silence following wife’s arrest

Victoria Goodwin, 32, was arrested on March 6 on allegations that she was conspiring to have her husband assassinated, according to a police report.

Investigators found that the reality star’s now-estranged wife was communicating with Florida inmate Grant Amato via text and Facebook messages. The exchanges revealed that the pair were romantically involved and were plotting to pay to have Aaron Goodwin killed, the police report says.

The report reveals Victoria Goodwin’s messages to Amato. In a series of messages, she asks, “Like. How did I get to this point,” and “Am I a bad person?”

In response, Amato asks why she thinks that, and she replies, “Because I chose to end his existence. Not divorce,” according to the report.

The pair allegedly planned to set aside $11,515 to hire a third person to complete the job. The police report says they also discussed Aaron Goodwin’s location and the details of his car.

Amato contacted the alleged hitman on Oct. 3 and asked whether the murder had been completed, according to the report.

“I need to know what is going on,” Amato wrote. “Can I get an update. Was it done?”

Victoria Goodwin’s next court appearance is scheduled for Tuesday in Clark County, Nevada. Bail was set at $100,000, according to jail records. She has denied the allegations, police say.

Aaron Goodwin filed for a divorce from Victoria Goodwin with the Clark County court on Wednesday.

Representatives for Aaron Goodwin did not immediately respond to an NBC News request for comment.

Since 2008, Goodwin has starred in Ghost Adventures. The hit reality series follows him and three others as they investigate paranormal activity. It aired for 19 seasons on the Travel Channel before moving to Discovery+ in 2021.

According to a post on his Instagram account, Aaron and Victoria Goodwin appeared to have married in August 2022.

In the weeks before Victoria Goodwin’s arrest, the couple shared loving photographs of each other on social media.

Victoria Goodwin posted a selfie with her husband on Instagram on Feb. 14. The caption read “mini golf with my Valentine” alongside a heart emoji.

She also shared a photo on Instagram of the pair kissing on Jan. 22. “Happy annivers mi cariño. I love celebrating our 1st date,” the caption read.
