Imagine you’re an investigative journalist and a judge asks you to read the transcripts of a 1987 murder case, explaining that the man they convicted is innocent and still serving time.

In 2018, Brooklyn-based, author, journalist, and podcaster, Gilbert King, read those transcripts and immediately felt compelled to find out more about convicted murderer, Leo Schofield and the victim, Leo’s wife, Michelle.

So what would you do if you were all set to spend the next year or so writing a book, but this case was calling you to investigate? Would you shrug it off and hunker down and start writing? Or would you spend the next few years interviewing both the convicted killer and the real killer for your podcast, Bone Valley?
