Aaron Goodwin Updates Divorce Filing Amidst Serious Allegations Against Estranged Wife
Aaron Goodwin, the star of “Ghost Adventures,” has modified his divorce filing against his estranged wife Victoria Goodwin, who has recently been implicated in a disturbing murder plot against him.
According to court records from Clark County, Nevada, reviewed by Fox News Digital, the 48-year-old reality television star submitted the amended divorce petition on Wednesday. Fox News Digital has reached out to Goodwin’s attorney for further details.
Goodwin is pursuing legal action against Victoria, accusing her of assault, false imprisonment, and negligence, among other allegations. Reports from Us Weekly indicate that he is seeking more than $10,000 in punitive damages, asserting that Victoria was “negligent in her marital actions.”
The court documents state, “Victoria’s conduct was extreme or outrageous with either the intention of or reckless disregard for causing emotional distress to [Goodwin].” As a result, he is claiming to have suffered significant emotional distress attributable to her actions, as detailed in legal statements.
Details of the Allegations
Goodwin has leveled serious accusations against Victoria, including the charges of assault and false imprisonment, though specific examples of these accusations have not been disclosed publicly. However, the legal filings suggest that Victoria allegedly made Goodwin feel threatened and attempted to confine him within limits that she imposed.
The amended filing contains requests for the court to grant Goodwin’s divorce petition, pointing out that Victoria purportedly engaged in a “concert of action,” which refers to her alleged collaboration with another party to commit a wrongful act.
The couple, who had tied the knot in 2022, appear to have experienced significant turmoil since the arrest of Victoria earlier this month. She was taken into custody on March 6, facing charges for soliciting and conspiring to commit murder against Goodwin.
Details surrounding her arrest indicate that Victoria became enamored with Grant Amato, an inmate who allegedly agreed to assist her in arranging the murder. This connection reportedly began after Victoria watched a true-crime documentary featuring Amato, who is infamously known for the brutal murder of his family several years ago.
Following the airing of the documentary “Ctrl+Alt+Desire,” which explores Amato’s disturbed obsessions and criminal history, Victoria initiated a correspondence with him, describing her marital struggles with Goodwin.
According to the arrest report from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, Victoria disclosed her loneliness to Amato and sought emotional connection through their exchanges, primarily conducted via text messages.
In one of her alleged messages to Amato, she questioned, “Am I a bad person? Because I chose to end his existence. Not divorce.”
Uncovering the Murder Plot
Victoria reportedly used the “Find My” app to provide Amato with details about Goodwin’s location, allowing him to relay this information to an accomplice with the intention of “taking care of the situation.” During this timeline, Goodwin was away, filming his popular television series.
Amato allegedly communicated to the accomplice about Goodwin’s whereabouts, asking for updates on the execution of the murderous plan.
These alarming details came to light after officers in Florida confiscated Amato’s phone, leading to the investigation and subsequent arrest of Victoria by the Las Vegas authorities.
Upon her arrest, Victoria claimed she had no intent to harm her husband and described her feelings as fleeting daydreams rather than serious intentions. She recounted that she often fantasized about different circumstances but no longer felt that way concerning Goodwin.
As these developments unfold, the situation remains highly volatile, with public scrutiny surrounding the couple’s troubled relationship escalating significantly.
