Speaker 1: Hey, listen, this is the story. It is what it is.
Speaker 1: You believe it is, don't believe it. It's up to you.
Speaker 1: It will not change the fact that I'm an innocent man.
Speaker 2: Do you my mans.
Speaker 3: In February nineteen eighty seven, Leo Schofield's eighteen year old
Speaker 3: wife Michelle went missing.
Speaker 4: Left my FIUs I need to talk to comedy about
Speaker 4: finding my wife.
Speaker 2: I'm really worried about it. Right to find out comed.
Speaker 3: Three days later, Michelle was found stabbed to death off
Speaker 3: a freeway in Lakeland, Florida. Shouldn't it be your responsibility
Speaker 3: to investigate?
Speaker 5: Wait a minute, we have investigated this thing upside down.
Speaker 3: No physical evidence connected Leo Scofield to the crime.
Speaker 1: And he said, I'm going to put you in the
Speaker 1: electric chair. And I said, that's what you're going to
Speaker 1: have to do, but I'm not going to say something
Speaker 1: that's not true.
Speaker 3: At twenty two years old, Leo was convicted for his
Speaker 3: wife's murder and sentenced to life in prison.
Speaker 5: Leo's Schofield is a cold blooded murderer, and if I
Speaker 5: have my way, he'll never get out of prison.
Speaker 3: But after Leo's conviction, there were still so many unanswered.
Speaker 2: Questions, always, always, the fingerprints was a big question in
Speaker 2: my mind.
Speaker 3: Obviously somebody was in the car, somebody knew something. Who
Speaker 3: was it?
Speaker 2: What do they know?
Speaker 5: So I took the fingerprint and I'm like, all right,
Speaker 5: who does it come back to?
Speaker 3: And he said, a guy named Jeremy Scott, dre we Scot.
Speaker 5: Who the fuck's Jeremy Scott? Grandma, have anybody come teard
Speaker 5: to you?
Speaker 1: Not?
Speaker 2: What? Murder? Murder burr?
Speaker 3: Despite new evidence pointing to Jeremy Scott, Leo Schofield is
Speaker 3: still in prison. He's been locked up for the last
Speaker 3: thirty four years. You or somebody like you is Leo's
Speaker 3: last shot.
Speaker 2: I would just really like to mother, who did it?
Speaker 3: I want you guys to find the truth, you know
Speaker 3: what I mean, and I can leave this world knowing
Speaker 3: that at least it was solved. I'm Gilbert King, a
Speaker 3: Pulitzer Prize winning author, and I've spent the last four
Speaker 3: years investigating this case with researcher Kelsey Decker. Together we
Speaker 3: set out to uncover the truth behind the conviction of
Speaker 3: Leo Schofield, but we would soon learn that Michelle Schofield's
Speaker 3: murder was just the tip of the Iceberg as our
Speaker 3: investigation pulled us down into the much darker world of
Speaker 3: Jeremy Scott.
