    Investigators started a probe into Victoria’s communications after noticing she had been sending messages to an inmate in a Florida prison, hoping to enlist his services to get rid of Aaron. 

    The man, 35-year-old Grant Amato, was serving a life sentence for brutally murdering his parents in 2019.  His case inspired a Paramount+ true crime documentary, which Victoria allegedly became a fan of, prompting her to seek him out.

    Correspondence between Victoria and Amato revealed her desire to get out of her marriage, with the convicted felon seeking an $11,515 paycheck to coordinate the murder, with a $2,500 payment upfront.

    After transferring the amount, Victoria provided him with information about when and where she could locate her husband.

    Amato then reached out to a third party regarding the plot using a contraband phone, informing them of a hotel the host was staying in during the filming of Ghost Adventures in California.

    “He’s asleep right now in the hotel room … I need to know what’s going on. Can I get an update? Was it done?” one of the messages read.

    Police were able to intercept the plot, confiscating Amato’s phone and detaining Victoria.

    The TV host said he felt blindsided by his wife’s plan, believing their marriage was stable and happy

    Shortly after the incident, Aaron Goodwin spoke with TMZ, confessing to having been blindsided by the arrest, as he thought his marriage “was doing fine.”

    The YouTube video, titledKualoa Ranch Tour with the Goodwins, has gained a new, disturbing meaning with the context of what was happening behind the scenes.

    In one eerie moment, Aaron jokes as he walks through a large dinosaur skeleton, comparing it to being eaten by one. Victoria, sitting in the mouth of the bones, smiles as Aaron quips, “Go ahead and eat her.”

    It’s unclear what motivated Victoria to opt for such a drastic end to their marriage instead of simply separating from the TV host. As official records show, in one moment of doubt, Victoria herself reflected on her decision.

    “Am I a bad person? Because I chose to end his existence. Not divorce,” she wrote to Amato.

    “He seemed so happy.” Netizens were baffled by the video, which showed the couple happy despite the darkness brewing within
