Las Vegas, NV – On June 5, 2025, Aaron Goodwin, known for his role on Ghost Adventures, confronted his estranged wife, Victoria Goodwin, in a Nevada courtroom as she was sentenced for conspiring to murder him. The emotional testimony revealed the profound betrayal Goodwin felt upon discovering his wife’s alleged plot to end his life.

According to Court TV, Goodwin, 49, addressed the judge, recounting the devastation of learning that Victoria, whom he married in August 2022, had allegedly orchestrated a murder-for-hire scheme. “For seven years, I thought I was in the most loving relationship with my best friend,” Goodwin said, his voice breaking. “Discovering she put a hit out to kill me more than once has led me to fear for my life.”

Victoria Goodwin was sentenced to a minimum of 36 months and a maximum of 90 months in prison after pleading guilty to one felony count of conspiracy to commit murder in April, as reported by KVVU-TV. The charges stemmed from her alleged collaboration with convicted murderer Grant Amato, whom she met after watching the Paramount+ docuseries Ctrl + Alt + Desire. A police report obtained by the Associated Press detailed how Victoria and Amato discussed payments to arrange Aaron’s murder, a plan uncovered when prison officials confiscated Amato’s phone.

Goodwin, who filed for divorce in March, told the court he has lived in fear since the plot was revealed, hiring armed security and seeking therapy to cope with the trauma. “The heartbreak of knowing someone I trusted had no care or love for me—I will never feel the same,” he said, per Reuters. He expressed ongoing concerns for his safety, stating, “Whether she gets minimum or maximum time, I won’t feel safe when she’s released.”

The couple’s marriage unraveled after Victoria’s arrest on March 6 for soliciting and conspiring to commit murder. Court documents cited by CNN noted Aaron’s divorce filing, which stated there was “no possibility of reconciliation.” On March 22, Goodwin shared his gratitude for fan support in an Instagram post, writing, “Thank you for all the love and support through this emotionally trying time.”

As the case concludes, Goodwin’s testimony underscores the personal toll of the betrayal, with implications that will likely linger beyond Victoria’s incarceration.
