‘Ghost Adventures’ star’s wife allegedly plotted his death with inmate she saw in true crime documentary

LAS VEGAS (TCN) — A 32-year-old woman is facing charges for allegedly communicating with a prison inmate and working with him to solicit the murder of her husband, a star of the television show “Ghost Adventures.”
Clark County court records show Victoria Goodwin was charged with solicitation to commit murder and conspiracy to commit murder on March 6. A judge set her bail at $100,000.
According to the arrest report cited by KSNV-TV, Goodwin reportedly contacted Grant Amato, a 35-year-old man serving life in prison in Florida for three counts of first-degree murder in connection with the deaths of his parents and brother.
Goodwin reportedly used the name “Victoria Candie” in their correspondences, which included messages about them being in love. Goodwin allegedly learned about Amato from a true crime documentary that detailed the murders he committed and how he stole money from his family after falling in love with an Eastern European camera model.
In their messages, Goodwin allegedly told Amato that her husband, Aaron Goodwin, wouldn’t get a divorce. She reportedly asked if she was a “bad person” because she “chose to end his existence. Not divorce.”
KSNV reports Goodwin informed Amato that her husband would be in Barstow, California, so Amato allegedly replied that he would reach out to someone “who will be taking care of the situation.” She reportedly saved $11,000 for “when the job is finished.”
NBC News reports on Oct. 2, Amato and Goodwin reportedly discussed their plans for the hit, and Goodwin said in a message that she was “so anxious LOLOL.”
Amato allegedly reached out to a hit man on Oct. 3 and told him he would call Aaron Goodwin as a distraction. Later that day, Amato reportedly texted him, “I need to know what is going on. Can I get an update. Was it done?” Officials from the Florida Department of Corrections reportedly seized his phone that day. They contacted law enforcement in Nevada on March 4.
Following Goodwin’s arrest on March 6, she reportedly told detectives she and her husband were “going through problems in their marriage,” though she claimed she did not want him dead.
Aaron Goodwin has appeared in over 300 episodes of “Ghost Adventures.” The couple wed in August 2022.
Court records show Goodwin was ordered not to have contact with her husband.
