1190 Bone Valley: The Confession No One Wanted to Hear
Richard welcomes Pulitzer Prize-winning author Gilbert King, the creative force behind the true crime podcast Bone Valley. Season 1 of Bone Valley helped free an innocent man after 35 years in prison.
Season 2 dives into a darker, more complex chapter. 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.
