Bone Valley

Bone Valley

​​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. Bone Valley is a production of Lava for Good Podcasts in association with Signal Co. No1.
Jeremy | Chapter 2 -  Destroyer

Jeremy | Chapter 2 - Destroyer

Justin s life has been shaped by absence of answers, of explanations, and his father. Now that he s reaching back, he s haunted by what he might find: rumors of brutality, inherited darkness, a legacy of violence. As Gilbert helps Justin trace the moments that defined Jeremy s path especially the day he killed Donald Moorehead Justin begins to confront an impossible question: if Jeremy had been stopped sooner, Leo would not have spent three decades in prison, but would Justin even exist? This is not just a story about a murder. It s about what we inherit, what we carry, and the fear that we might be made of the very things we fear most.

#403 Jason Flom with Gilbert King on the Groveland Four

On July 16, 1949, 17-year-old Norma Padgett and her estranged husband, Willie Padgett, reported to police that they had been attacked by four black men in Lake County, FL, with Norma claiming that the men had raped her. On the same day, police arrested 16-year-old Charles Greenlee, and 22-year-olds Samuel Shepherd and Walter Irvin. 26-year-old Ernest Thomas was hunted into the woods and gunned down by a mob of men, as he was also blamed for the attack. Despite weak evidence and testimonies tainted by racism, the remaining three were convicted and faced severe sentences, including life imprisonment and death. Jason is joined by Gilbert King, host of Bone Valley and Pulitzer-prize-winning author of Devil in the Grove which chronicles the story of the Groveland Four , as they came to be known, and future United States Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall’s efforts to defend them in court.
