Bone Valley

Chapter 5 | Bam Bam

Chapter 5 of 9 Gilbert and Kelsey do a deep dive investigation into Jeremy Scott. By speaking to people who were close to Jeremy at the time, a picture emerges of an impulsive and troubled teenager who was prone to violence. When investigators confront Jeremy about the newly identified fingerprints, he explains that he was in Michelle’s car to steal stereo equipment. The State believes Jeremy, and they close their investigation.  For photos, images, and the full transcript of this episode visit: <a href="https://bit.ly/BVS1E5">bit.ly/BVS1E5</a> To read and sign the petition from the Innocence Project of Florida visit <a aria-describedby="sk-tooltip-1093" data-remove-tab-index="true" data-sk="tooltip_parent" data-stringify-link="https://bit.ly/BringLeoHome" href="https://bit.ly/BringLeoHome">bit.ly/BringLeoHome</a> PLEASE CLICK <a data-sk="tooltip_parent" data-stringify-link="http://lavaforgood.com/SURVEY" href="http://lavaforgood.com/SURVEY">HERE</a> TO TAKE PART IN OUR LISTENER SURVEY.

​​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 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.
