Victoria was at the heart of the murder-for-hire plot, which targeted her spouse of three years, who is known for his role on paranormal-hunting series Ghost Adventures. Victoria was arrested on March 6 by Las Vegas police and booked on charges of solicitation to commit murder and conspiracy to commit murder, TMZ reports.
According to police reports obtained by TMZ, Victoria was communicating with an inmate in a Florida prison about her desire to have her husband killed. The inmate then allegedly reached out to another man who was supposed to commit the murder while Aaron was filming his Travel Channel series in California. The plot came to light when prison officials seized the inmateâs contraband phone.
âAm I a bad person?â reads a message that Victoria allegedly sent to the inmate. âBecause I chose to end his existence. Not divorce.â She set aside $11,515Â to pay for the hit, cops say.
Victoria is currently being held in the Clark County Detention Center on a $100,000 bond, according to jail records.Â
Aaron and Victoria married in 2022. They had been together since 2018, according to People. He has not commented on his wifeâs arrest. But posts on social media paint a picture of a happy relationship. In January 2025, she reminisced about their first date in an Instagram post. On Feb. 14, he wished her a happy Valentineâs Day on Instagram. âMy valentine always beats me at mini golf,â he captioned the post. In August 2024, he marked their second anniversary with a throwback photo from their wedding day.Â
âââ2 years ago today I got to marry my best friend,â he wrote on Instagram. âIâm so lucky to have u in my life hun.âÂ
