Victoria Goodwin, wife of Ghost Adventures star Aaron Goodwin, has struck a plea deal in the case of her alleged plot to have him murdered.
Goodwin, 32, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit murder on Tuesday, opting for a plea deal to avoid a lengthy trial, as per TMZ.
She filed the plea agreement on April 15, and now reportedly faces from two to 10 years in prison for conspiring to murder the 48-year-old paranormal investigator. Victoria will also be eligible for parole.
In return, prosecutors will drop the solicitation of murder charge. They also agreed to make no recommendation to the judge on her sentence.
Goodwin is scheduled to formally enter her plea at an arraignment hearing on Monday, April 21.
Victoria’s murder-for-hire scheme allegedly began in March 2024 when she started communicating with Florida convict Grant Amato after watching Paramount+ docuseries Ctrl + Alt + Desire about his case where he murdered his parents and brother.
