The wife of "Ghost Adventures" star Aaron Goodwin got busted in a murder-for-hire plot ... and cops say she tried to pay a hitman to knock off her husband.

Victoria Goodwin was arrested last week and booked on two charges ... solicitation to commit murder and conspiracy to commit murder ... after police said she hatched a plan to kill Aaron while he was filming his show with Zak Bagans.

According to the arrest report, obtained by TMZ, cops say Victoria was messaging an inmate in a Florida prison about getting out of her marriage to Aaron when she asked ... "Am I a bad person? Because I chose to end his existence. Not divorce."

Police say Victoria provided info about Aaron's location and filming times in California, where he was filming "Ghost Adventures

Cops say Aaron's wife set aside $11,515 to pay the alleged hitman ... and they say the inmate she was communicating with messaged a guy about the alleged plot, "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?"

1. Imagine asking someone who’s already in prison for advice/help killing your spouse, what an idiot.

2. Bringing back the death penalty would sure save taxpayers a ton of money, this bitch deserves it.

Kudos, goody two shoes.

Yeah, yeah. This might affect me negatively but for the fact that I've read your posts over a couple of years.

4. If you want someone dead and you don't want to hire a hitman, that's smart. What's not smart is to the Google 'How to kill someone without leaving a trace'. Don't do that. Even if you're writing a book. Don't do that.

...

I've been googling "how to search for ways to kill someone without leaving an electronic trail that you searched for how to kill someone without leaving a trace", and they agree with this advice.

1. Never hire a hitman. They are always either cops or someone who will use your asking for a murder for hire as a way to lessen their sentence.

2. If you choose to ignore point #1, do not hire someone who is or has been in prison.

3. All jail calls are recorded. No, not all hours are listened to but that really depends upon the arresting agency, the defendant, and the crimes charged. So, some regular joe who gets arrested for felony DUI by state troopers? Odds are nobody is listening to him. Someone arrested by a federal agency for allegedly being involved in a large-scale drug conspiracy? Yeah, the feds listen to all those calls. How do I know? First chance I get, I tell every client facing federal charges that the feds can and will listen to every call. And a couple of months later when the feds produce the calls of my client continuing their drug enterprise, I have to march down to the jail to tell them to . So even if they aren't lstened to in real time, they are kept and they will be reviewed later.

4. If you want someone dead and you don't want to hire a hitman, that's smart. What's not smart is to the Google 'How to kill someone without leaving a trace'. Don't do that. Even if you're writing a book. Don't do that.

5. If you do decide you want someone dead and that someone works with you, don't drop a note on the table at your job saying, "I quit. Send my last paycheck to [insert address of local jail here]," and then go shoot the person who works with you. Not that I've ever had a case involving anything like that.

I always remember what Mickey Rourke said in Body Heat - "any time you try a decent crime you've got fifty ways you can **** it up. You think of 25 of them and you're a genius. And you ain't no genius."

I think someone may be in trouble when the FBI comes calling on that missing French cyclist…

I was a juror on a murder trial last year, and I was pretty impressed by the amount of analysis that was done on the crime scene. It made me think that I shouldn't ever commit a murder because there's too much evidence that gets created in the modern world.

But then I've read somewhere that most murders in the USA don't end up in an arrest, so that makes me think that I could pull it off if so inclined. I suspect that most murders are not committed by people who put a lot of thought into planning them.

But then I muse that most unsolved murders are probably random people killing random people, and killing a random person doesn't seem as satisfying as killing someone you have a grudge against, and having a grudge against someone makes you a suspect pretty quickly.

All in all, it seems like a bad bet to murder someone if you have anything to gain from it, and if you can't gain from it, why bother?

Right? How did they come up with such a specific number? Why not $11,617?

That dude is the biggest goober on the whole crew, always dramatically yelling and running away from the slightest noise

I can see why she wanted him to be the star of his own show

I wonder if the payment was something like 1/10th of a bitcoin, or three years of Domino's pizza delivery, or three season tickets to Raiders games.

I think a lot of it depends on the venue, as well as who you kill. Whack some housewife in an affluent suburb, the cops will probably be all over it. Grease some lowlife in the ghetto, chances are nobody will care.

Long ago the firm I worked at shared space with an insurance agency. One of the agents was a part time coroner for Cook County, and was often called in whenever they experienced overflow, which happened quite a lot. Now, I obviously can't verify this, but he told me that the number of homicides in Chicago was drastically underreported, and that if people knew how many murders were committed in the city every year, it would absolutely scare the shit out of them. Having lived/worked there for many years, I have no trouble believing that.
