There are several very obvious takeaways from this People Magazine story of a torrid, long-distance love affair between Las Vegas woman Victoria Goodwin and incarcerated Florida multiple murderer Grant Amato that got serious earlier this month after both were charged with plotting to hire a hitman to murder Goodwin’s husband, Aaron, star of Ghost Adventure, which airs on who cares what the hell stupid basic cable channel it is. Probably “Destination America” or one of those. Anyway, here are some key points People failed to remit to their audience of celeb-tainment consumers:
👻 In plotting with Amato so that they could “be together,” despite Amato, 35 – serving life in a Florida prison for the 2019 triple murder of his parents and brother after they discovered he’d pissed away $200,000 of their money on a “relationship” with a Bulgarian cam girl – Victoria, 32, made it plain that a bald, porn-addicted incel who would kill his family and she cannot and will not ever have any physical contact with was somehow less embarrassing for her than being married to Aaron, 48, a “ghost hunter” who has starred on the show for like 20-plus years. Not the best look for Aaron.
👻 If it wasn’t clear enough from Victoria’s texts to Amato – saying shit like “I’m so anxious LOLOL,” on the day he was supposed to be killed – that she doesn’t respect Aaron or his career, just keep in mind that ghosts are supposed to be vengeful spirits from the afterlife and that by having him murdered she was unconcerned with the possibility that Aaron’s incorporeal soul would haunt her.
👻 Victoria “began to text Amato in March 2024 after seeing him in the docuseries Ctrl + Alt + Desire,” which airs on Paramount+, People writes, citing the Las Vegas Metro Police Department’s arrest report. No info is provided on how Amato had access to a phone, let alone how Victoria got his number. Still that unexplained plot point raises the intriguing possibility that was the same way she met Aaron several years ago, and when she wasn’t so impressed anymore with a fucking “ghost hunter” she’d seen on streaming TV she started fangirling for a porn-addicted sociopath.
