Victoria was arrested on charges of soliciting to commit murder and conspiring to commit murder on March 6, 2025, In Touch confirmed via inmate records in Clark County, Nevada. She was held on $100,000 bail and was scheduled to appear in court on March 11, 2025, according to the records.

Victoria allegedly exchanged messages with a prison inmate in Florida about getting out of her marriage with Aaron, according to an arrest report obtained by TMZ. According to police, she asked, “Am I a bad person? Because I chose to end his existence. Not divorce.”

Victoria allegedly provided information about Aaron’s Ghost Adventures filming schedule in California and set aside $11,515 to pay the alleged hitman, per the outlet. The inmate Victoria was communicating with allegedly reached out to the alleged hitman about the 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?” a message from the inmate to the alleged contract killer read, according to the report.

Police also discovered a message about a $2,500 upfront payment.

The messages were reportedly exchanged in October 2024, but Aaron is still alive and well today. The alleged plot was discovered when corrections officers found the prison inmate’s contraband phone.

Police said that Victoria denied wanting to have Aaron killed but admitted that she was daydreaming about being without her husband, according to the report.
