We are excited to announce that on October 8th of this year, Flatiron Books will release, Bone Valley: A True Story of Injustice and Redemption in the Heart of Florida by Gilbert King. The book traces the origins of the Bone Valley podcast, when Gilbert and Kelsey Decker began the project. At the time, they had no idea how vast the story would become—or how to navigate a medium they had never worked in before. They were learning how to make a podcast at the same time that they were uncovering the details of Leo’s case. Along the way, they faced setbacks and breakthroughs—most of which never made it into the series. There are also many witnesses, detectives, attorneys, family members, and investigators whose stories and voices didn’t make it into the podcast—simply because there wasn’t the time or space. In this book, Gilbert and Kelsey are able to go deeper, explore more angles, and bring in scenes that never aired. This is a more expansive version of the story, and in many ways, a more personal one too. The book is available now for preorder at the links below. Bone Valley listeners who preorder the book will be offered exclusive signed bookplates to attach, personalized by Gilbert King and Leo Schofield. If you are in the USA or Canada and want to preorder the book, please use this link: https://read.macmillan.com/fib/bonevalleypreorder-2/ If you want to preorder the book from outside of the USA or Canada, please use this separate link: https://geni.us/BoneValleySee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Breaking Down "Bone Valley" Season 1 With Gilbert King Part 2 What if the man in prison isn't the killer—but the real suspect confessed, and nothing changed? In 1987, Michelle Schofield vanished. Days later, her body was found—and her husband, Leo, was convicted. But now, Pulitzer Prize-winner Gilbert King is uncovering the disturbing truth behind Leo Schofield's decades-long incarceration. A judge turned whistleblower, a witness with a history of delusions, and a justice system that seemed more interested in closing the case than solving it. Leo was across town with witnesses when Michelle was allegedly killed—so why is he still in prison? And how did the real suspect's fingerprints on Michelle's car not lead to justice? King's deep dive into the case, now revealed in Bone Valley Season 2, exposes the tangled web of small-town loyalties, prosecutorial maneuvering, and a defense that never stood a chance. This is the story of a man who never stopped saying he was innocent—and the journalist who believed him. #BoneValley #LeoSchofield #MichelleSchofield #GilbertKing #WrongfulConviction #TrueCrimePodcast #FloridaJusticeSystem #ColdCase #InnocentManInPrison #HiddenKillers Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?  Check out our YouTube Channel. https://www.youtube.com/@hiddenkillerspod Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Tik-Tok https://www.tiktok.com/@hiddenkillerspod X Twitter https://x.com/tonybpod Listen Ad-Free On Apple Podcasts Here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/true-crime-today-premium-plus-ad-free-advance-episode/id1705422872

I continue my conversation with Gilbert King, the host of Bone Valley, on the relationship that's developed between Jeremy Scott, the man who says he killed Michelle Schofield, and Leo Schofield, who was convicted of her murder. In Part 2 of this conversation, we discuss the evidence against Jeremy, his confession to another crime that could result in a death sentence, Leo's friends who were also inmates who watch over Jeremy and profound questions about the legacy of the Jim Crow South on its current criminal justice system and whether a person who cannot be rehabilitated to the point joining society can be redeemed.Contact me at silverliningshandbookpod@gmail.comCheck out the Silver Linings Handbook website at:https://silverliningshandbook.com/Check out our Patreon to support the show at:https://www.patreon.com/thesilverliningshandbookJoin our Facebook Group at:https://www.facebook.com/groups/1361159947820623Visit the Silver Linings Handbook store to support the podcast at:https://www.bonfire.com/store/the-silver-linings-handbook-podcast-storeVisit The True Crime Times Substack at:https://truecrimemessenger.substack.comThe Silver Linings Handbook podcast is a part of the ART19 network.

In this episode, we explore the chilling story of Jeremy Scott, who confessed to the brutal 1987 murder of 18-year-old Michelle Schofield—a crime that kept her husband, Leo Schofield, wrongfully imprisoned for decades. Through exclusive prison recordings and raw conversations, King uncovers Scott's violent past, a justice system that ignores undeniable truth, and the unsettling bond that forms between a journalist and a killer. Why does a confessed murderer remain free while an innocent man languishes? How does the system justify its failures? Join us as Gilbert King unpacks this haunting tale of guilt, redemption, and a fight for justice that's far from over. Available on all major podcast platforms, launching April 9, 2025.   GUEST: Gilbert King is a Pulitzer Prize-winning author and investigative journalist whose work exposes flaws in America's justice system. His book Devil in the Grove won the 2013 Pulitzer Prize for Nonfiction for its searing look at racial injustice. Through his gripping podcast storytelling, King helped secure the release of a wrongfully convicted man after 35 years and now probes the mind of a confessed killer. His relentless research and human approach make him a leading voice in true crime and justice reform.     WEBSITE: https://www.gilbertking.com   BOOKS: Devil in the Grove Beneath a Ruthless Sun The Execution of Willie Francis Learn more about your ad choices.

One man was freed from prison for a murder he says he did not commit. Another man who will never get out is admitting to that murder, but authorities don't believe him. Gilbert King, the host of the hit podcast Bone Valley, joins me to discuss Season 2 and the relationship between Leo Schofield Jr., who was accused of killing his wife Michelle, and Jeremy Scott, the man who said he killed her. The lives of the two men open up questions about whether even those who cannot be rehabilitated can be redeemed and we discuss what it tells us about our history, our society and the power of forgiveness and love.Contact me at silverliningshandbookpod@gmail.comCheck out the Silver Linings Handbook website at:https://silverliningshandbook.com/Check out our Patreon to support the show at:https://www.patreon.com/thesilverliningshandbookJoin our Facebook Group at:https://www.facebook.com/groups/1361159947820623Visit the Silver Linings Handbook store to support the podcast at:https://www.bonfire.com/store/the-silver-linings-handbook-podcast-storeVisit The True Crime Times Substack at:https://truecrimemessenger.substack.comThe Silver Linings Handbook podcast is a part of the ART19 network.
