From Pulitzer Prize-winner Gilbert King, and based on the international smash hit podcast, comes a shocking expose into an egregious miscarriage of justrice - BONE VALLEY.
Leo Schofield has spent the past 35 years in prison, convicted for the 1987 murder of his young wife, Michelle-a crime he has always denied. He narrowly escaped the death penalty and would have been released by now if he just confessed to the killing, but he refuses to do so because he's innocent.
Few seriously considered Leo's claims of innocence until 2004, when previously unidentified fingerprints from the crime scene were linked to Jeremy Scott, a troubled and violent teenager from the same town in Polk County, Florida. Now, Jeremy has confessed to Michelle's murder-as well as three other murders in the area.
Both Leo and Jeremy insist they are telling the truth, but the State of Florida refuses to believe either man.
Based on the hugely successful Bone Valley podcast, which The Guardian named one of the best podcasts of the year, this brand new investigation sheds light on one of the world's most shocking cases.
