About this listen

​​In 1987, 18-year-old Michelle Schofield was found dead in a phosphate pit in Florida. Two years later, her husband Leo was convicted and sentenced to life in prison. Fifteen years later, previously unidentified fingerprints matched Jeremy Scott--a violent teenager who lived nearby. Jeremy has since confessed to Michelle’s murder.

In this groundbreaking podcast, Bone Valley host Gilbert King uncovers startling new evidence that Jeremy is responsible for a string of murders. King is the author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning book, Devil in the Grove, which led to the exonerations of four innocent men.

  • Jeremy | Chapter 6 - Walk Down that Road
    May 7 2025

    By taking Michelle’s life, Jeremy not only shattered her family’s world—he also took Leo’s freedom.


    Now, in an unlikely and unexpected moment—these two men, connected by Michelle Schofield’s murder, speak at last, their conversation heavy with the weight of the past.
    Leo offers something unexpected: forgiveness and gratitude. And Jeremy responds with something he’s never truly given before: an apology.


    As Gilbert brings Justin the answers he’s been looking for, Justin feels a weight lift. He no longer sees himself as an echo of his father’s worst acts.


    And for the first time, Jeremy and Justin begin writing to each other. Their letters reveal a new side of Jeremy—vulnerable, searching, deeply human.


    This is not the end of the story. It’s the beginning of something neither man thought possible: a relationship. In the end, redemption isn’t about escaping the truth, but about searching for it, confronting it, and finding the humanity still buried beneath.

  • Jeremy | Chapter 5 - Like a Little Kid
    Apr 30 2025

    Meri is a housecleaner in North Florida. She didn’t know Jeremy. She just listened to Bone Valley. And she wrote him a letter.

    Their friendship becomes a lifeline—something neither of them expected, and both of them needed. Through Meri, we see Jeremy as someone craving connection, terrified of being unloved, and trying to become a man his son might one day want to know.

    When Jeremy finds out Justin wants to talk, it’s as if something inside him shifts. For the first time, there’s hope. A chance to become the version of himself he never thought possible.

  • Jeremy | Chapter 4 - Horse and Buggy
    Apr 23 2025

    Some truths never see the light. Gilbert has long believed that Jeremy Scott is responsible for more deaths than the state acknowledges—especially the unsolved murder of a cab driver in Intercession City. He’s tried everything he can think of to bring attention to the case, but the Osceola County Sheriff’s Office will not cooperate.

    Then, out of nowhere, a retired detective—the one who led the investigation that resulted in the arrest and eventual acquittal—reaches out to Gilbert, offering to help.

    The State finally agrees to reopen the cab driver case, but the lines between author and advocate blur. Gilbert works with Jeremy—an unlikely collaborator—to chase the truth and bring resolution to a family that’s waited decades.

    But justice doesn’t always wait. And it doesn’t always come.
