Ghost Adventures Star Learns of Wife's Murder-For-Hire Plot

Aaron Goodwin, star of the paranormal show "Ghost Adventures," was informed during filming that his wife, Victoria Goodwin, had been arrested for conspiring to murder him. The shocking revelation came as police contacted him while he was setting up equipment at an abandoned medical facility, a moment captured in the show's latest season but with some footage withheld to respect privacy. Victoria, who had an affair with Florida inmate Grant Amato, was convicted and sentenced to between 36 and 90 months in prison for her involvement in the murder-for-hire plot, which included messages where she expressed intent to end Aaron's life instead of seeking divorce. Aaron has publicly expressed deep emotional distress over the situation and has filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences, while also stating he is not ready to discuss the matter further. The incident has drawn significant media attention, highlighting the tragic real-life events behind the paranormal investigation series. The show’s lead, Zak Bagans, narrates the episode, underscoring the stark contrast between the supernatural themes of the series and the very real personal crisis faced by Aaron Goodwin.
