Ghost Adventures star Aaron Goodwin came face-to-face with his wife, Victoria Goodwin, as she was sentenced for her part in a murder-for-hire plot this week.

Earlier this year, police detained Victoria for an alleged plot to hire a hitman to murder her husband.

She was arrested after it was revealed she had been contacting a prison inmate in Florida, named Grant Amato.

Victoria had allegedly been in a relationship with Amato - who she had been communicating with through text and Facebook messages - when police confiscated his phone in October 2024.

Amato shot and killed his parents and brother after stealing $200,000 from his family to fuel his addiction to a webcam model who he met through a pornographic website, People reports.

He was sentenced to three life sentences without possibility of parole.

During one alleged exchange, Victoria, who married Aaron in 2022, said: “Am I a bad person? Because I chose to end his existence. Not divorce.”

She then allegedly provided information about her husband’s whereabouts at the time, where he was shooting Ghost Adventurers in California, according to local authorities.

Victoria was also accused of agreeing to pay a hitman a whopping $11,515, as well as an upfront payment of $2,500 to kill the TV star.

Aaron only heard about the plot when he was told by detectives, after Victoria was arrested on charges of soliciting to commit murder and conspiring to commit murder.

Prosecutors agreed to drop the solicitation charge in exchange for her pleading guilty to a charge of conspiracy to commit murder, court documents said.

Coming face-to-face with her in court this week, Aaron claimed that Victoria had slept with 'multiple men' prior to the plot, but that he had tried to work things out.

“For seven years I thought I was in the most loving relationship of marriage with my best friend, someone who I trusted in whole heart and laughed with every day,” Aaron said, according to US Weekly.

“Someone who made me feel like I was settled - like I was her one and only. I was loyal to her and [did] whatever I could to make her happy. I thought we were something very special, and so did everyone else.”

He continued: “She made me feel so special, and she was very - she was so sorry. At least that’s what you told me.

“Now, discovering she put a hit out to kill me more than once, got blackmailed and spent almost all of our savings to keep it quiet, and fell more in love with Amato.

"They even got spiritual married, and now I was called the first husband. They talked until she was arrested, and she sought out his help to kill me.”

Victoria also addressed her husband during the sentencing, saying: “Firstly, and most importantly, I would like to apologize to Aaron. I’m so immensely sorry for the pain and anxiety I’ve caused you and the betrayal you undoubtedly and rightfully feel by my actions.

“I need you to know that I will always hold love for you. I genuinely pray you find your joy and peace again, and I will bow out of your life forever to hopefully ease that process.

“I’m sorry I broke us, and I’m consumed with regret every day. My absolute promise to you is that you’ll never see or hear from me.”

Victoria also apologized to her parents, adding: “Secondly, I’d like to apologize to my parents. My actions are not a reflection of how you raised me with unwavering love and support, and I know I’m better than this.”

Victoria was sentenced to a minimum of 36 months to a maximum of 90 months in jail.
