In 1987, 18-year-old Michelle Schofield was found dead in a phosphate pit in Florida. Two years later, her husband, Leo Schofield, was convicted of her murder and sentenced to life in prison. Fifteen years after his conviction, previously unidentified fingerprints found in Michelle’s car were matched to Jeremy Scott—a violent teenager who lived nearby. Host Gilbert King uncovers startling new evidence that Jeremy is responsible for the murder of Michelle Schofield as well as a string of additional murders. But when Gilbert coaxes a confession out of Jeremy, the State of Florida refuses to believe him. Gilbert King digs deeper, uncovering chilling details of Jeremy’s past crimes and the darkness he’s carried with him. As their unlikely connection grows, Gilbert helps Jeremy confront the painful truths of his violent history while navigating the fractured relationship between Jeremy and the son he never knew. With new revelations and a search for redemption, Bone Valley takes unexpected turns—bringing haunting questions of justice, forgiveness, and the possibility of change. Gilbert King is the author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning book, Devil in the Grove, which led to the exonerations of four innocent men. Bone Valley is a production of Lava for Good Podcasts in association with Signal Co. No1. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Named one of the best true crime podcasts ever by Entertainment Weekly and called a triumph by the New York Times.

00:00:12 - 00:00:32 | Speaker 8:

I'm Gilbert King, and this is Bone Valley. I'm in Florida speaking at a legal conference when this judge hands me his business card. On the back it reads, Leo Schofield, not just wrongfully convicted, he's an innocent man.

00:00:33 - 00:00:42 | Speaker 9:

Listen, this is the story. It is what it is. You believe it or don't believe it, it's up to you. It will not change the fact that I'm an innocent man.

00:00:43 - 00:00:54 | Speaker 8:

Leo's 18-year-old wife, Michelle, was killed in 1987. When I meet Leo, he's in prison, where he's been for the last 30 years, convicted of her murder.

00:00:55 - 00:01:05 | Speaker 9:

Somewhere along the line, this nightmare of a dream I'm having, that we're all going to wake up and see that this isn't right, because justice plays out always.

00:01:07 - 00:01:12 | Speaker 8:

We talk for hours, and I find out about new evidence that surfaced in his case.

00:01:13 - 00:01:32 | Speaker 7:

Always, always, the fingerprints was a big question in my mind. So I took the fingerprint, and I handed it to one of my crime scene detectives. And he said, there's a hit, a guy named Jeremy Scott. Jeremy Scott? Who the fuck's Jeremy Scott? Holy shit.

00:01:34 - 00:01:46 | Speaker 8:

Jeremy was an extraordinarily violent young man who lived right down the road from Leo and Michelle. But when the fingerprints came back to him, the state of Florida quickly shut down the investigation.

00:01:47 - 00:01:53 | Speaker 3:

Leo Schofield is a cold-blooded murderer, and if I have my way, he'll never get out of prison.

00:01:53 - 00:02:08 | Speaker 8:

I investigated this case for over five years. I became convinced that Jeremy Scott was the key to solving this case. And I needed him to tell me why his fingerprints were found in Michelle's car after she was murdered.

00:02:23 - 00:02:32 | Speaker 2:

nothing, heard nothing, and just leave you alone. At first, I wasn't sure I wanted to know any more

00:02:32 - 00:03:27 | Speaker 8:

about this guy than I absolutely had to. But once I started talking to him, I couldn't stop. Hello? Hello. Hey, oh, Jeremy, you there? There are two men connected to the murder of Michelle Schofield. Leo Schofield swore to me he's innocent. I did not kill Michelle. Jeremy Scott told me that he's the one who killed Michelle. I told you I killed her. The state of Florida doesn't believe either man. This is the story of the people who do. I did love him. I did love jeremy um gilbert king i'm the son of jeremy lynn scott bone valley seasons one and two
