1
00:00:01,680 --> 00:00:04,520
Speaker 1: Hey, listen, this is the story. It is what it is.

2
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:07,080
Speaker 1: You believe it is, don't believe it. It's up to you.

3
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:10,760
Speaker 1: It will not change the fact that I'm an innocent man.

4
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:16,400
Speaker 2: Do you my mans.

5
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:21,320
Speaker 3: In February nineteen eighty seven, Leo Schofield's eighteen year old

6
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 3: wife Michelle went missing.

7
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 4: Left my FIUs I need to talk to comedy about

8
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 4: finding my wife.

9
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 2: I'm really worried about it. Right to find out comed.

10
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:40,279
Speaker 3: Three days later, Michelle was found stabbed to death off

11
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:44,840
Speaker 3: a freeway in Lakeland, Florida. Shouldn't it be your responsibility

12
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:45,520
Speaker 3: to investigate?

13
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:49,240
Speaker 5: Wait a minute, we have investigated this thing upside down.

14
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 3: No physical evidence connected Leo Scofield to the crime.

15
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 1: And he said, I'm going to put you in the

16
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 1: electric chair. And I said, that's what you're going to

17
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 1: have to do, but I'm not going to say something

18
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 1: that's not true.

19
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 3: At twenty two years old, Leo was convicted for his

20
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 3: wife's murder and sentenced to life in prison.

21
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 5: Leo's Schofield is a cold blooded murderer, and if I

22
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 5: have my way, he'll never get out of prison.

23
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 3: But after Leo's conviction, there were still so many unanswered.

24
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 2: Questions, always, always, the fingerprints was a big question in

25
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 2: my mind.

26
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 3: Obviously somebody was in the car, somebody knew something. Who

27
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 3: was it?

28
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 2: What do they know?

29
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 5: So I took the fingerprint and I'm like, all right,

30
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:34,039
Speaker 5: who does it come back to?

31
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 3: And he said, a guy named Jeremy Scott, dre we Scot.

32
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 5: Who the fuck's Jeremy Scott? Grandma, have anybody come teard

33
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 5: to you?

34
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:42,960
Speaker 1: Not?

35
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,559
Speaker 2: What? Murder? Murder burr?

36
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 3: Despite new evidence pointing to Jeremy Scott, Leo Schofield is

37
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 3: still in prison. He's been locked up for the last

38
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 3: thirty four years. You or somebody like you is Leo's

39
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 3: last shot.

40
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 2: I would just really like to mother, who did it?

41
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 3: I want you guys to find the truth, you know

42
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 3: what I mean, and I can leave this world knowing

43
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 3: that at least it was solved. I'm Gilbert King, a

44
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 3: Pulitzer Prize winning author, and I've spent the last four

45
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 3: years investigating this case with researcher Kelsey Decker. Together we

46
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 3: set out to uncover the truth behind the conviction of

47
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:28,639
Speaker 3: Leo Schofield, but we would soon learn that Michelle Schofield's

48
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 3: murder was just the tip of the Iceberg as our

49
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 3: investigation pulled us down into the much darker world of

50
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 3: Jeremy Scott.

51
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:41,120
