• Victoria Goodwin, wife of “Ghost Adventures” star Aaron Goodwin, was arrested last month on charges of soliciting murder and conspiracy to commit murder 
• Prosecutors dropped one of the charges Tuesday

Prosecutors have dropped one of two charges against Victoria Goodwin, the wife of “Ghost Adventures” star Aaron Goodwin, who is accused of plotting his murder. During a hearing Tuesday in Las Vegas Township Justice Court, the charge of soliciting murder was dropped, leaving only conspiracy to commit murder.

That Class B felony means she’s looking at between 2-10 years in prison if convicted, though her lawyer told reporters on Wednesday that she could only receive probation. Soliciting murder is a Class D felony punishable by between 1-4 years under Nevada law.

Goodwin, 32, was arrested last month for allegedly conspiring to hire a hitman with the help of Grant Amato, a Florida prisoner.

Victoria is alleged to have promised Amato — an inmate serving life in a Florida prison after being found guilty of murdering his parents and brother in 2019 — $11.5K to have Aaron murdered.

In text messages the pair exchanged, which also allegedly indicated a romantic relationship, they also allegedly discussed Aaron Goodwin’s location at the time and the make of his car.

“Am I a bad person,” Victoria’s arrest report quotes her asking in one of their threads, “because I chose to end his existence, not divorce?”

In one of the least surprising news stories ever to come out of Las Vegas, Aaron Goodwin filed for divorce on March 12.

Victoria remains at the Clark County Detention Center, having failed to make the $100K bail set for her. She will be arraigned on April 10
