The wife of “Ghost Adventures” star Aaron Goodwin posted a picture of them cuddling with their pet cat a week before she was arrested for allegedly trying to plot his murder with the help of an incarcerated convicted killer.

“Cuddle puddle with my boys,” Victoria Goodwin captioned her Instagram post.

The eerie image showed the paranormal investigator’s hand on Victoria’s leg with their cat between them as they lounged on a couch.

She also posted a photo of her smiling alongside Goodwin on a mini-golf date for Valentine’s Day in Las Vegas.

“Mini golf with my Valentine,” her post read on Feb 14.

The “Ghost Adventures” star, 48, also gushed over his wife over the date, when he showed Victoria mid-stroke with the caption, “My valentine always beats me at mini golf.”

On March 6, Victoria, 32, was arrested and charged for solicitation to commit murder and conspiracy to murder, after an investigation allegedly unearthed a wicked murder-for-hire plot through messages with an inmate at an undisclosed Florida prison.

She had allegedly been messaging the inmate — identified as inmate Grant Amato — since October 2024 and openly expressing wanting to kill Goodwin to get out of her marriage, according to a police report first obtained by TMZ.

Amato killed his family after stealing $200,000 to wire the cash to a woman in Bulgaria whom he had been speaking to on an adult website in 2019.

He is currently serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole at the Tomoka Correctional Institution in Daytona Beach, Fla.

The convicted killer was featured in the Paramount+ true crime documentary “CTRL+ALT+DESIRE.”

Police said Victoria told them she watched the documentary and became pen pals with Amato while he was behind bars, according to TMZ.

She allegedly offered $11,515 to pay for the job and police claim that Victoria made a down payment of $2,500 to have her ghost-hunting husband killed.

Victoria also allegedly passed along info about her husband’s location to the Amato to provide to a hitman he was communicating with to pull off the kill.

The 48-year-old paranormal investigator was allegedly filming “Ghost Adventures” in California when the hit was intended to happen.

“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?” the inmate texted the hitman, according to police.

It’s unclear what happened that stopped the alleged hit from going down.

Victoria has denied ever wanting to have her husband killed.

She is being held on $100,000 bail and had her initial court appearance on Tuesday, Clark County jail records show.

Goodwin was allegedly “blindsided and devastated at this turn of events” and “thought he was in a happy marriage,” sources told TMZ.

The couple tied the knot at Disneyland’s Haunted Mansion in California in August 2022 and live in Las Vegas.

The paranormal cameraman is best known for his role alongside paranormal investigator Zak Bagans on “Ghost Adventures.”

Bagans told TMZ it’s an “emotional time” for his ghost-hunting co-star and “he’s trying to give him love and support.”

The two have been friends since Goodwin, of Oregon, and Bagans, of Illinois, moved to Nevada around the same time in 2005 to pursue filmmaking and have worked together in the public eye since “Ghost Adventures” premiered in 2008.
