Actor Aaron Goodwin’s wife arrested for allegedly hiring hitman to kill him

Victoria Goodwin, the wife of American actor Aaron Goodwin, has been arrested for allegedly planning to have her husband killed. The couple, who got married in 2022, had reportedly been facing problems in their marriage.

Victoria was taken into custody on March 6, facing charges of solicitation to commit murder and conspiracy to commit murder. According to TMZ, she was accused of working with an inmate in a Florida prison to arrange her husband’s murder.

Authorities discovered the plot in October 2024 when prison officers seized a contraband phone from the inmate. In a text message, Victoria allegedly said, “Am I a bad person? Because I chose to end his existence. Not divorce.”

She reportedly shared Aaron’s location with the inmate while he was filming Ghost Adventures in California. Police say she had planned to pay the hitman $11,515, with an initial payment of $2,500.

Victoria has denied plotting to kill her husband. She admitted they had been having marital issues but claimed her messages with the inmate were just “daydreaming or fantasizing” about life without Aaron.

The shocking case has left many people stunned, especially since the couple had a fairytale wedding at Disneyland’s Haunted Mansion in 2022. Authorities are continuing their investigation into the case.
