"Ghost Adventures" Star’s Wife Sentenced for Murder-for-Hire Plot

A Troubling Confrontation in Court

In a shocking turn of events, Aaron Goodwin, known for his role on the Discovery Channel’s "Ghost Adventures," faced his estranged wife, Victoria Goodwin, in court this Thursday as she was sentenced for orchestrating a murder-for-hire scheme against him. Victoria, 32, was arrested in March in Nevada after attempting to conspire with her lover to kill the reality TV star.

Betrayal Unveiled

During the court proceedings, a visibly emotional Aaron Goodwin, 49, described the betrayal he felt upon learning about the plot. He revealed that Victoria had been involved with multiple men leading up to her arrest, including Grant Amato, a convicted murderer currently serving life for killing his family. “I feel like this deserves prison time,” Aaron said, expressing disbelief and disappointment at the actions of someone he once cherished.

In a poignant statement, Aaron recounted how he had tried to salvage their marriage, stating, “She made me feel so special and was very sorry.” However, the depth of her betrayal became apparent only after law enforcement informed him of the murder conspiracy prior to her arrest.

A Groveling Apology

Victoria took the stand to address Aaron, offering a tearful apology for her actions. “I’m immensely sorry for the pain and anxiety I’ve caused you,” she said, expressing regret for the betrayal and promising to ease his life by stepping out of it for good. Her words reflected a profound sense of remorse as she acknowledged the repercussions of her choices.

Legal Consequences

Ultimately, Victoria Goodwin was sentenced to a minimum of 36 months and a maximum of 90 months in prison for her attempted crime. This sentence came after her admission of guilt and a heartfelt expression of sorrow directed toward both her estranged husband and the court.

Details regarding her relationship with Amato and how it influenced her actions are still emerging, emphasizing the complex emotional layers surrounding this case.

This distressing incident, marked by betrayal and attempted violence, adds to the ongoing cautionary tales surrounding high-profile relationships and the unforeseen consequences of personal strife. As the legal proceedings conclude, the ripple effects of this case are likely to resonate within their lives and among the fans who once celebrated their union.
