Why Did Aaron Goodwin's Wife, Victoria Plot His Murder, Her Infidelity Or His Net Worth?

American TV personality, Aaron Goodwin, popular for his paranormal content, is currently going viral for a different reason. He is a popular name among fans and creators of horror videos with his paranormal reality series, Ghost Adventures, attracting a loyal fanbase. During one of his video shoots, Aaron got to know that his wife, Victoria, had plotted his murder and even attempted to hire hitmen to do so. Aaron was heartbroken to hear it, and his fans were flabbergasted. Amid the buzz surrounding his wife wanting him dead, here's exploring the motive behind her actions.

Aaron Goodwin's wife was arrested for hiring hitmen to kill him

Victoria Goodwin, the estranged wife of Aaron Goodwin, was arrested and later sentenced to prison in March 2025 for conspiring to hire a hitman to kill him. The murder-for-hire plot was uncovered after police found incriminating text messages between Victoria and a convicted triple murderer named Grant Amato, whom she met through a true-crime documentary. In April, Victoria accepted a plea deal and pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit murder. She was sentenced to between 3 and 7.5 years in a Nevada prison in June 2025.

Aaron Goodwin was informed of the murder plot and his wife's arrest by police while he was filming an episode of Ghost Adventures. He later filed for divorce. The emotional moment when he received the call from the police was captured on film and aired in a later episode. Aaron shared that he was devastated upon learning about the incident and wouldn't have the courage to watch the episode again because he didn't want to recall the painful experience.

What was the reason behind Victoria's actions?

The police obtained text messages between Victoria and the Florida inmate, Grant Amato, which reportedly revealed she had a romantic relationship with him while he was in prison. Victoria described her relationship with Grant as 'pen pals' and admitted that they connected when she had problems with Aaron, as per Court TV. At that time, she discussed with Grant that she wanted to end Aaron, and not just divorce him. In one text, she asked Grant, "Am I a bad person? Because I chose to end his existence. Not divorce." According to the police report, Victoria offered to pay USD 11,515 for the murder and gave Amato information about Aaron's whereabouts, which Amato passed on to a contact. Besides the romance angle, Aaron's whopping net worth might also be one of the motives for Victoria's extreme step.
