WEBVTT - Introducing: Bone Valley

0:00:01.680 --> 0:00:04.520
<v Speaker 1>Hey, listen, this is the story. It is what it is.

0:00:04.720 --> 0:00:07.080
<v Speaker 1>You believe it is, don't believe it. It's up to you.

0:00:07.640 --> 0:00:10.760
<v Speaker 1>It will not change the fact that I'm an innocent man.

0:00:11.720 --> 0:00:16.400
<v Speaker 2>Do you my mans.

0:00:17.079 --> 0:00:21.320
<v Speaker 3>In February nineteen eighty seven, Leo Schofield's eighteen year old

0:00:21.320 --> 0:00:23.200
<v Speaker 3>wife Michelle went missing.

0:00:24.320 --> 0:00:31.400
<v Speaker 4>Left my FIUs I need to talk to comedy about

0:00:32.520 --> 0:00:33.320
<v Speaker 4>finding my wife.

0:00:33.520 --> 0:00:36.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm really worried about it. Right to find out comed.

0:00:36.680 --> 0:00:40.279
<v Speaker 3>Three days later, Michelle was found stabbed to death off

0:00:40.320 --> 0:00:44.840
<v Speaker 3>a freeway in Lakeland, Florida. Shouldn't it be your responsibility

0:00:44.880 --> 0:00:45.520
<v Speaker 3>to investigate?

0:00:45.640 --> 0:00:49.240
<v Speaker 5>Wait a minute, we have investigated this thing upside down.

0:00:49.840 --> 0:00:53.000
<v Speaker 3>No physical evidence connected Leo Scofield to the crime.

0:00:53.240 --> 0:00:54.800
<v Speaker 1>And he said, I'm going to put you in the

0:00:54.840 --> 0:00:57.520
<v Speaker 1>electric chair. And I said, that's what you're going to

0:00:57.600 --> 0:01:01.240
<v Speaker 1>have to do, but I'm not going to say something

0:01:01.280 --> 0:01:02.200
<v Speaker 1>that's not true.

0:01:02.360 --> 0:01:05.080
<v Speaker 3>At twenty two years old, Leo was convicted for his

0:01:05.160 --> 0:01:07.840
<v Speaker 3>wife's murder and sentenced to life in prison.

0:01:08.120 --> 0:01:12.120
<v Speaker 5>Leo's Schofield is a cold blooded murderer, and if I

0:01:12.160 --> 0:01:14.480
<v Speaker 5>have my way, he'll never get out of prison.

0:01:15.440 --> 0:01:19.840
<v Speaker 3>But after Leo's conviction, there were still so many unanswered.

0:01:19.360 --> 0:01:24.080
<v Speaker 2>Questions, always, always, the fingerprints was a big question in

0:01:24.120 --> 0:01:24.560
<v Speaker 2>my mind.

0:01:25.000 --> 0:01:28.240
<v Speaker 3>Obviously somebody was in the car, somebody knew something. Who

0:01:28.360 --> 0:01:28.560
<v Speaker 3>was it?

0:01:28.600 --> 0:01:29.120
<v Speaker 2>What do they know?

0:01:29.680 --> 0:01:32.920
<v Speaker 5>So I took the fingerprint and I'm like, all right,

0:01:33.040 --> 0:01:34.039
<v Speaker 5>who does it come back to?

0:01:34.920 --> 0:01:37.800
<v Speaker 3>And he said, a guy named Jeremy Scott, dre we Scot.

0:01:37.840 --> 0:01:42.080
<v Speaker 5>Who the fuck's Jeremy Scott? Grandma, have anybody come teard

0:01:42.120 --> 0:01:42.360
<v Speaker 5>to you?

0:01:42.920 --> 0:01:42.960
<v Speaker 1>Not?

0:01:43.200 --> 0:01:45.559
<v Speaker 2>What? Murder? Murder burr?

0:01:46.440 --> 0:01:50.440
<v Speaker 3>Despite new evidence pointing to Jeremy Scott, Leo Schofield is

0:01:50.480 --> 0:01:53.600
<v Speaker 3>still in prison. He's been locked up for the last

0:01:53.600 --> 0:01:59.200
<v Speaker 3>thirty four years. You or somebody like you is Leo's

0:01:59.320 --> 0:02:00.600
<v Speaker 3>last shot.

0:02:01.040 --> 0:02:03.160
<v Speaker 2>I would just really like to mother, who did it?

0:02:03.600 --> 0:02:05.480
<v Speaker 3>I want you guys to find the truth, you know

0:02:05.480 --> 0:02:07.600
<v Speaker 3>what I mean, and I can leave this world knowing

0:02:07.680 --> 0:02:12.160
<v Speaker 3>that at least it was solved. I'm Gilbert King, a

0:02:12.200 --> 0:02:15.240
<v Speaker 3>Pulitzer Prize winning author, and I've spent the last four

0:02:15.320 --> 0:02:20.840
<v Speaker 3>years investigating this case with researcher Kelsey Decker. Together we

0:02:20.919 --> 0:02:24.040
<v Speaker 3>set out to uncover the truth behind the conviction of

0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:28.639
<v Speaker 3>Leo Schofield, but we would soon learn that Michelle Schofield's

0:02:28.680 --> 0:02:31.440
<v Speaker 3>murder was just the tip of the Iceberg as our

0:02:31.520 --> 0:02:35.760
<v Speaker 3>investigation pulled us down into the much darker world of

0:02:35.880 --> 0:02:37.200
<v Speaker 3>Jeremy Scott.

0:02:37.440 --> 0:02:41.120
