Bone Valley: Season 2 – Jeremy Hosted by Gilbert King | Lava for Good Podcasts | Released March 31, 2025

Introduction

In the highly anticipated second season of Bone Valley, host Gilbert King delves deeper into the chilling case that has captivated listeners: the wrongful conviction of Leo Schofield for the murder of his wife, Michelle Schofield. Season 1 concluded with Leo's life sentence, but Season 2 introduces a shocking twist that threatens to unravel the truth even further. King, renowned for his Pulitzer Prize-winning work Devil in the Grove, brings his investigative prowess to uncover new evidence implicating Jeremy Scott, a previously overlooked suspect.

Unveiling the New Suspect

The season opens with a gripping narrative that shifts focus from Leo Schofield to Jeremy Scott. Jeremy, once a feared teenager residing near the phosphate pit where Michelle was found, has come forward with a confession that overturns previous convictions. King narrates the pivotal moment when Jeremy admitted to the murder, challenging the integrity of the justice system that wrongfully imprisoned his father.

Narrator [00:01]: "Do you hear my madness? Last season of Bone Valley told the story of a man fighting to prove he didn't kill his wife. But this season..."

This revelation sets the stage for a deeper exploration into Jeremy's motives and the series of murders he may be responsible for.

Personal Stake: Gilbert King’s Connection

King not only investigates from an objective standpoint but also shares a personal connection that heightens the narrative's emotional depth. As the son of Leo Schofield, Gilbert grapples with the implications of his father's wrongful conviction and the possibilities of his true father's guilt.

Gilbert King [01:13]: "I'm the son of Jeremy Lynn Scott."

This admission transforms King from a detached investigator to a participant in the unfolding drama, bridging the gap between the convicted and the confessed.

Confronting the Past

Throughout the episode, King confronts witnesses and Jeremy himself, eliciting raw and emotional responses that shed light on the complexities of the case. The testimonies reveal unsettling insights into Jeremy's character and his potential involvement in multiple crimes.

Witness [00:28]: "Came forward, and he was just staring at me."

Witness [00:31]: "His eyes were empty, and there was nothing. There was nothing there."

These interactions suggest a manipulative and possibly remorseless individual, raising questions about the extent of his involvement beyond Michelle Schofield's murder.

The Host’s Dilemma

King expresses his internal conflict as he navigates the dual role of investigator and son. The possibility that his father might still be innocent while his true father is a murderer creates a profound personal and ethical dilemma.

Gilbert King [01:19]: "If the cops and everything would have done their job properly, my dad would have been in jail. I would have never existed."

This statement underscores the far-reaching consequences of wrongful convictions and the personal toll they take on families.
