In a case that reads like a true crime thriller, Victoria Goodwin, estranged wife of Ghost Adventures star Aaron Goodwin, was sentenced on June 5, 2025, to 36 to 90 months in prison after pleading guilty to conspiracy to commit murder. The plot, uncovered in March, revealed that Victoria conspired with Grant Amato, a Florida inmate serving a life sentence for the 2019 murders of his family, to have Aaron killed.
Victoria offered over $11,500 to Amato, providing him with detailed information about Aaron’s whereabouts during a filming session in California. The plan was discovered when authorities confiscated Amato’s contraband cellphone, uncovering messages that detailed the murder plot. One chilling message from Victoria read, “Am I a bad person? Because I chose to end his existence. Not divorce.”
During the sentencing at Nevada’s Clark County District Court, Victoria tearfully apologized to Aaron, expressing deep regret for her actions. Aaron, visibly emotional, addressed the court, stating, “This person over here, I don’t know at all. Not one bit.” He recounted the betrayal and the emotional toll it had taken on him, revealing that he had even hired armed security to feel safe.
