Ghost Adventures star Aaron Goodwin’s wife, Victoria Goodwin, shared a photo of the pair snuggling up together one week before she was accused of trying to hire a hitman.
In the image, Aaron and Victoria’s legs lay inches apart as a cat cozies up between them. “Cuddle puddle with my boys 
,” Victoria, 32, captioned the Instagram post on February 27.
One week after the photo was uploaded, Victoria was arrested on charges of soliciting to commit murder and conspiring to commit murder, per inmate records in Clark County, Nevada. She was held on $100,000 bail.
According to an arrest report obtained by Us Weekly, Victoria had been communicating with a Florida prison inmate about wanting to leave her marriage. One of her alleged text messages read, “Am I a bad person? Because I chose to end his existence. Not divorce.” (TMZ broke the news on Monday, March 10.)
The arrest report claimed that Victoria shared information about Aaron’s whereabouts while filming Ghost Adventures in California. She allegedly allotted $11,515 to pay the alleged hitman in October 2024 and had spoken about a $2,500 upfront payment.
“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?” another alleged text read.
The police allegedly caught wind of the alleged murder plot after corrections officers found and seized the inmate’s phone at the Florida prison. Per the arrest report, Victoria — who has been married to Aaron, 48, for nearly three years — denied wanting to have her husband killed, alleging that she didn’t recall sending messages.
When questioned by the police about her correspondences and the funds, Victoria allegedly said she believed the money would be exchanged for cell phones, admitting that she and Aaron were struggling in their marriage.

TMZ reported that Aaron told them he was blindsided by the news and thought he and Victoria were in a good place in their marriage. Aaron’s Ghost Adventures costar Zak Bagans told the outlet that it was an “emotional time” for his pal, whom he was trying to support.
Aaron and Victoria said “I do” at Disneyland in August 2022 after initially postponing their first ceremony, which was set for May 2020. “It finally happened 
we got married,” Aaron wrote via Instagram at the time. “After postponing many times due to Covid we got our day. I couldn’t be happier 
.”
