Introducing - Bone Valley, Season Two: Jeremy

When Jeremy Scott confessed to the murder of Michelle Schofield, the State of Florida refused to believe him. In Bone Valley, Season 2, author Gilbert King digs deeper, uncovering chilling details of Jeremy’s past crimes and the darkness he’s carried with him. As their unlikely connection grows, Gilbert helps Jeremy confront the painful truths of his violent history while navigating the fractured relationship between Jeremy and the son he never knew. With new revelations and a search for redemption, the story takes unexpected turns—bringing haunting questions of justice, forgiveness, and the possibility of change.

Gilbert 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 Season 2 will be available every Wednesday beginning April 9 wherever you get your podcasts.

Bone Valley is a production of Lava for Good Podcasts in association with Signal Co. No1.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Dude, my man. Last season of Bone Valley told the
story of a man fighting to prove he didn't kill
his wife. But this season, so I spoke to Jeremy yesterday,
something unexpected happened. After Jeremy Scott confessed to killing Michelle Schofield.

(00:23):
I just knew him as a kid. Long silent voices
from his past came.

Speaker 2 (00:28):
Forward, and he was just staring at me.

Speaker 1 (00:31):
And they had secrets of their own to share.

Speaker 2 (00:34):
His eyes were empty and there was nothing. There was
nothing there.

Speaker 1 (00:39):
I thought I'd reached the end of this story everything
he's been going wrong for me. But the story wasn't
done with me.

Speaker 2 (00:46):
He showed up at your house and this guy's car
and he had blood on his pants. Why did you
get in the car with him?

Speaker 1 (00:52):
Jeremy Scott had a lot more to say.

Speaker 2 (00:56):
Will be speaking with Jeremy Scott.

Speaker 1 (00:59):
I could actual acuity. I could have I could have
put it right in his heart.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
People just don't understand. I wasn't telling him no. I
knew I wasn't coming back. I knew if they didn't
catch him, I was going to die. Gilbert King, I'm
the son of.

Speaker 1 (01:18):
Jeremy.

Speaker 2 (01:18):
When Scott, I was.

Speaker 1 (01:20):
No longer just telling the story. I was part of it.

Speaker 2 (01:24):
If it caused and everything would have done a job properly,
my dad would have been in jail. I would have
never existed.

Speaker 1 (01:29):
I was becoming the bridge between a killer and the
son he'd never known.

Speaker 2 (01:34):
Every time I hear about my dad is oh, he's
a killer. He's just straight evil. You see movies about
evil children, and I had those thoughts, what if this
kid is just like his father.

Speaker 1 (01:48):
I never expected to find myself in this place. Jeremy
was pulling me further into his world, drawing me closer
to the truth. Jeremy, is that the same place that
you hit the gun?

Speaker 2 (01:59):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (02:00):
Now, I need to tell you how I got here.

Speaker 2 (02:03):
At the end of the day, I'm literally a son
of a killer.

Speaker 1 (02:06):
