This episode explores the 1987 murder of Michelle Schofield and the wrongful conviction of her husband, Leo. Despite no physical evidence linking him to the crime, Leo was sentenced to life. Years later, fingerprints from the crime scene matched a convicted murderer who confessed to Michelle's killing. Despite the confession, courts repeatedly rejected it. The episode details the tireless efforts of Leo's wife and the Innocence Project of Florida to free him, culminating in his parole after 36 years, and his shocking conversation with the man who admitted to killing Michelle.  --For early, ad free episodes and monthly exclusive bonus content, join our Patreon!

Breaking Down "Bone Valley" Season 1 With Gilbert King Part 1 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

When Jeremy Scott confessed that he - and not Leo Schofield - murdered Michelle Schofield in 1987, the state of Florida refused to believe him. Journalist Gilbert King's quest to exonerate Leo drew him closer into Jeremy's background and the family who drifted away from him. Convinced the key to clearing Leo's name included proving Jeremy's involvement in a separate unsolved murder, King doubled down on his investigation, turning up new leads. But the effort brought King new understanding of the convict as he takes stock of his life and contemplates the consequences of his actions. In season two of the critically acclaimed podcast series “Bone Valley” from  Lava for Good and Signal Co. 1, King focuses on the man responsible for Leo's wrongful conviction and develops an unlikely connection. He also works as a kind of advocate for Jeremy, working to set the record straight about his many crimes and do right by the many people he's hurt - including Leo Schofield.OUR SPOILER-FREE REVIEWS OF "BONE VALLEY" SEASON TWO BEGIN IN THE FINAL TEN MINUTES OF THE EPISODE.

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. Yet, Leo Schofield remains behind bars. In season 2 of Bone Valley, host Gilbert King turns his focus on Jeremy Scott. He attempts to find out what turned Jeremy into a cold-blooded killer and who else may have suffered his wrath. King is the author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning book, "Devil in the Grove," which led to the exonerations of four innocent men.Sample episode available here:Https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-bone-valley-101763565/episode/introducing-bone-valley-season-2-271378968/ Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

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.

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.

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?

The series explores the case of Leo Schofield, a man convicted of murder in a gross miscarriage of justice. King, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Devil in the Grove, and Decker, a producer with a background in sociology and oral history, came together in a four-year quest to peel back the layers of Schofield's case, uncovering startling new evidence and chilling confessions that are a call to action for long-awaited justice and redemption.Takeaways from Gilbert King and Kelsey Decker1. Does your idea need to be told in audio? Bone Valley did.  As storytellers, we have many formats to choose from. So how do you know when your idea is well-suited to audio, versus a book, a film, or a video? As an author, King's first instinct was to write a longform article about Leo Schofield's case. But as soon as he and Decker talked with Leo, they realized that the story begged for audio. “The power of their voices made us pivot,” King says. “I don't think they would have been the same in print. I love the way their voices break and crackle and emote.”2. Start with a sound visionSecond, you may have noticed that King and Decker had a pretty clear “sound vision” for Bone Valley. I always remember producer John Barth saying, in episode 2, “You have to have a distinctive sound vision.” When he develops a new show, he imagines the kind of listener he wants to attract. That determines what the show needs to sound like. In Bone Valley, the two producers made sure to simply lay out fact after fact, so the listener couldn't escape the conclusion or emotion. They used both sound design and language to create a work of narrative nonfiction and made sure not to sensationalize or cheapen the story. Furthermore, Decker could hear how the narration should sound in her head. She and other  producers directed King to voice the narration to match that sound. And sound designer Britt Spangler attended story conferences – and helped shape the scripts from the start.3. Podcasts are a team sportGilbert King won a Pulitzer for his book Devil in the Grove. So you might imagine he had nothing else to learn as a writer. But he'd never done a podcast before. His early drafts were written for the page, with too much narration, and quotes, which don't work in audio. When he and Decker hooked up with the production company Lava for Good, he learned from their producers how to write for the ear. Subscribe to Sound Judgment, the NewsletterWant more of this kind of audio storytelling analysis?
