What if the man in prison isn't the killer—but the real suspect confessed, and nothing changed? In 1987, Michelle Schofield vanished. Days later, her body was found—and her husband, Leo, was convicted. But now, Pulitzer Prize-winner Gilbert King is uncovering the disturbing truth behind Leo Schofield’s decades-long incarceration. A judge turned whistleblower, a witness with a history of delusions, and a justice system that seemed more interested in closing the case than solving it. Leo was across town with witnesses when Michelle was allegedly killed—so why is he still in prison? And how did the real suspect’s fingerprints on Michelle’s car not lead to justice? King’s deep dive into the case, now revealed in Bone Valley Season 2, exposes the tangled web of small-town loyalties, prosecutorial maneuvering, and a defense that never stood a chance. This is the story of a man who never stopped saying he was innocent—and the journalist who believed him.
