Victoria Goodwin, the wife of “Ghost Adventures” star Aaron Goodwin, was taken into custody on suspicion of solicitation to commit murder and conspiracy to commit murder after it was discovered that she was involved in a “murder for hire” scheme targeting her husband. Victoria was arrested in Nevada, where the couple resides, and is currently being held on $100,000 bail following an initial court appearance. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for March 25.
Investigations revealed that Victoria had plotted to have her husband killed with the help of an inmate in Florida whom she had been communicating with. Text messages between Victoria and the inmate indicated her involvement in soliciting the murder through a third party. Plans included an initial payment of $2,500 by Victoria towards the crime. The police report also mentioned that Victoria was romantically involved with the inmate and believed that her husband would not agree to a divorce.
Following her arrest, Victoria claimed that she had started corresponding with the inmate after watching a true crime documentary and that their communication had escalated to text messages. She denied any intention of having her husband killed, stating that she was merely daydreaming about a different life when she was feeling lonely amidst marital problems.
