Ghost Adventures star Aaron Goodwin whose wife tried to kill him breaks silence

Ghost Adventures co-host Aaron Goodwin has broken his silence on his wife Victoria Goodwin's March 6th arrest for conspiring to murder him.

The troubled 32-year-old was arrested on March 6 in Clark County, Nevada, on charges of soliciting and conspiring to murder the 48-year-old paranormal investigator. 

The 48-year-old paranormal investigator wrote to his 1.3M social media followers on Saturday: 'Thank you everyone for all the love and support through this emotionally trying time. It has really helped a lot and I appreciate you all.' 

Victoria's murder-for-hire scheme allegedly began in March 2024 when she began communicating with Florida convict Grant Amato after watching Paramount+ docuseries Ctrl + Alt + Desire about his case where he murdered his parents and brother.

Grant's contraband phone was seized by corrections officers in prison, which is when police discovered Victoria's text messages indicating she would pay Grant's potential hitman $11,515 to murder Aaron with $2,500 upfront.

'Am I a bad person? Because I chose to end his existence. Not divorce?' she asked in one text.

Another text wrote: '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?' 

The former collegiate golfer reportedly provided the location and filming times of Goodwin's Discovery Channel reality show, which was being shot in California, to Grant.

Victoria - who remains in jail on $100K bail - admitted to having marital issues but claimed she didn't remember sending the texts and the money was supposed to go towards 'cell phones.'

Aaron was completely 'blindsided' when police informed him of everything as he was filming the 29th season of Ghost Adventures - premiering April 16 - and the cameras were reportedly rolling during the dramatic moment. 

Goodwin filed for divorce from her on March 13 requesting to maintain his property and have their community assets be divided equally, but he amended his filing last Wednesday seeking over $10K in damages and accusing her of negligence and false imprisonment.

'[Victoria's] conduct was extreme or outrageous with either the intention of or reckless disregard for, causing emotional distress to [Aaron],' the court filing read.

'[He] suffered severe or extreme emotional distress as the actual or proximate result of [her] conduct.'

The Oregon-born presenter originally began dating Victoria in August 2018 before proposing in front of Disneyland's Sleeping Beauty Castle in October 2019 and they wed each other in August 2022 at Disneyland's Haunted Mansion. 

Aaron and Victoria had no children but shared four pets - a cat called Dodger, whom they adopted last October, as well as a dog named Moose and two rats named Pascal and Rapunzel. 

Before her scandal, Victoria was best known for her health battles against C-PTSD and achalasia, an incurable and degenerative illness, for which she underwent palliative surgery.
