Incriminating Evidence and Denials
Messages recovered from the inmate’s phone show Victoria allegedly writing, “Am I a bad person? Because I chose to end his existence. Not divorce.” The inmate reportedly responded with updates about the planned hit, writing in one message, “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?”
Despite the evidence, Victoria has denied wanting her husband murdered. She acknowledged marital problems but claimed she was merely “fantasizing” about being without him, not plotting his death.
