Ghost Adventures host Aaron Goodwin spoke directly to his fans and supporters for the first time since his wife had been arrested for an alleged murder plot against him.
The TV show host Aaron Goodwin had previously said he believed he was in a happy marriage before he learned that his wife Victoria Goodwin had been arrested.
She was taken in for an alleged plot to hire a hitman to murder him and currently faces two charges - solicitation to commit murder and conspiracy to commit murder - according to booking information in Clark County, Nevada.
Police have accused Victoria of communicating with convicted killer Grant Amato, who is currently serving a life sentence in Florida for the murders of his parents and brother.

Victoria has denied wanting to kill her husband, saying she was simply daydreaming or fantasizing about getting out of her marriage.
After the news broke on March 11, Goodwin spoke to TMZ and admitted that he was blindsided by the turn of events.
Over the weekend, Goodwin took to Instagram to thank all the people who have been offering support for him as he deals with the situation.
Sharing a smiling emoji with both hands up he captioned the image: “Thank you everyone for all the love and support through this emotionally trying time. It has really helped a lot and I appreciate you all.”
Goodwin’s fans also offered words of comfort as he deals with the fallout of the arrest.
One fan wrote: “We love you Aaron and have your back throughout this unpleasant circumstance.”
Another added: “I'm really glad you're okay. I'm so sorry this happened to you. You're one of the nicest guys out there.”
A third commented: “I know it sounds weird coming from complete strangers, but we adore and care for you! Keep your chin up.”
With another simply writing: “Love, prayers and good vibes to you Aaron!"
Authorities believe that Victoria provided information about her husband’s whereabouts when he was filming Ghost Adventures in California in hopes that this would allow killers to execute the plan.
They have also revealed that within the text messages they have seen, there is talk of $2,500 upfront payment for the murder of the reality TV star.
As well as this, authorities believe that the wife had set aside at least $11,000 to pay the alleged hitman, and Amato had also allegedly spoken about the plot to another individual.
Victoria is still in police custody and is currently being held on a $100k bail.
