Victoria Goodwin hired a hitman to kill her husband because she was in love with Grant Amato, who is in prison for killing his family over an obsession with a Bulgarian camgirl

The wife of "Ghost Adventures" star Aaron Goodwin was arrested last week on allegations that she was plotting to have him assassinated, according to a police report. Authorities caught on to what they alleged were Victoria Goodwin's plans after they obtained the phone of a Florida inmate, Grant Amato, in October, according to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department report. Amato, 35, was found guilty of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison in 2019, according to court records.

Amato's phone contained text and Facebook messages between him and the reality star's wife, which indicated that the pair were in love and tried to pay to have Aaron Goodwin killed, the police report says. Victoria Goodwin, 32, was being held in the Clark County Detention Center on charges of solicitation to commit murder and conspiracy murder. Jail records do not list an attorney. It was not immediately clear whether Amato, 35, has an attorney who could speak on his behalf. Florida inmate records do not list one.

The police report says that on Oct. 2, Amato and Victoria Goodwin discussed setting aside $11,515 to hire a third person, whose name has been redacted in the report, to complete the job. The same day, they also discussed Aaron Goodwin's location and the make of his car, the report says.

“I’m so anxious LOLOL,” Victoria Goodwin wrote in one message, according to the report. "I just can’t believe it’s happening," she wrote in another, the report says. In other messages she asks, "Like. How did I get to this point," and "Am I a bad person?" In response, Amato asks why she thinks that, and she replies, "Because I chose to end his existence. Not divorce," the report says.

On Oct. 3, the report says, Amato contacted the alleged hitman and said he would call Aaron Goodwin to distract him. Later that day, Amato texted the alleged hitman and asked whether he had completed the killing, according to the report. "I need to know what is going on," Amato wrote, according to the report. "Can I get an update. Was it done?” The same day, Florida corrections officers obtained Amato's phone. Its contents were searched at an unspecified date, according to the report. On March. 4, the report says, officials in Florida contacted authorities in Nevada, where Aaron and Victoria Goodwin live, to alert them about the alleged plot.

When Victoria Goodwin was arrested and taken in for questioning two days later, she said that she and her husband "were going through problems in their marriage" but denied wanting to kill him, according to the report.
