Description

LAS VEGAS (KSNV) — The wife of a "Ghost Adventures" cast member charged with plotting his murder appeared in court Tuesday.

Victoria Goodwin was originally scheduled to appear for a preliminary hearing, but her attorney, David Brown, told Judge Kristal Bradford they would waive the hearing.

Instead, a status check is now scheduled for April 8 as negotiations continue.

Goodwin, who lives in Las Vegas, was arrested earlier this month on suspicion of solicitation and conspiracy to commit murder.

Las Vegas Metropolitan Police alleged that Goodwin exchanged messages with Florida prison inmate Grant Amato about killing her husband, "Ghost Adventures" cast member Aaron Goodwin, while he was filming an episode near Barstow, California.

Messages stated, "Am I a bad person?" and "Because I chose to end his existence. Not divorce."

Amato said he would be in contact with someone "who will be taking care of the situation," an investigator from Florida told LVMPD. That person also wrote that over $11,000 was set aside for "when the job is finished."

In an interview with LVMPD detectives, Goodwin said that she and Aaron were going through relationship problems and she connected with Amato. She said she sent Amato money believing it was for cell phones.

When the detectives confronted her with the messages, Goodwin denied wanting to have her husband killed. She said she did not remember sending the messages and said her feelings about being with Amato were more like "fantasy or daydreams," LVMPD wrote.

Following his wife's arrest, Aaron Goodwin filed for divorce, writing in his petition that there was no possibility of reconciliation between the two. An amended complaint cites negligence, false imprisonment, assault and infliction of emotional distress as causes of action.

In a post to Instagram, he shared his gratitude with fans for their well-wishes.

"Thank you everyone for all the love and support through this emotionally trying time," he wrote in a post published Friday. "It has really helped a lot and I appreciate you all."
