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 redempt...

After Bone Valley Season 1, something unexpected happened: people began to respond to Jeremy Scott—not for who he was, but for what he did—finally telling the truth. Among those drawn in is someone who has every reason not to be: Jeremy’s son, Justin. Now 35, Justin has never met his father, never wanted to. But something’s shifted. He wants answers. Through a conversation years in the making, Justin’s mother Jami opens up about the relationship she once had with Jeremy—a relationship she’s nev...

Justin’s life has been shaped by absence—of answers, of explanations, and his father. Now that he’s reaching back, he’s haunted by what he might find: rumors of brutality, inherited darkness, a legacy of violence. As Gilbert helps Justin trace the moments that defined Jeremy’s path—especially the day he killed Donald Moorehead—Justin begins to confront an impossible question: if Jeremy had been stopped sooner, Leo would not have spent three decades in prison, but would Justin even exist? This ...

As Gilbert’s relationship with Jeremy deepens, it’s tested by Jeremy’s darkest instincts. After a long silence, Jeremy reveals he’s been thrown into solitary confinement because he stabbed another inmate—possibly in self-defense. Possibly not. Gilbert is forced to reckon with the contradictions: the man trying to right past wrongs, and the man still capable of harm. In letters and phone calls, in moments of rage and vulnerability, Jeremy opens a window into who he is now… and what still haunts ...

Some truths never see the light. Gilbert has long believed that Jeremy Scott is responsible for more deaths than the state acknowledges—especially the unsolved murder of a cab driver in Intercession City. He’s tried everything he can think of to bring attention to the case, but the Osceola County Sheriff’s Office will not cooperate. Then, out of nowhere, a retired detective—the one who led the investigation that resulted in the arrest and eventual acquittal—reaches out to Gilbert, offering to h...

Meri is a housecleaner in North Florida. She didn’t know Jeremy. She just listened to Bone Valley. And she wrote him a letter. Their friendship becomes a lifeline—something neither of them expected, and both of them needed. Through Meri, we see Jeremy as someone craving connection, terrified of being unloved, and trying to become a man his son might one day want to know. When Jeremy finds out Justin wants to talk, it’s as if something inside him shifts. For the first time, there’s hope. A chan...

By taking Michelle’s life, Jeremy not only shattered her family’s world—he also took Leo’s freedom. Now, in an unlikely and unexpected moment—these two men, connected by Michelle Schofield’s murder, speak at last, their conversation heavy with the weight of the past. Leo offers something unexpected: forgiveness and gratitude. And Jeremy responds with something he’s never truly given before: an apology. As Gilbert brings Justin the answers he’s been looking for, Justin feels a weight lift. He ...

Leo Schofield walked out of prison wearing a shirt that read “Kevin is next.” For Leo, that wasn’t a slogan—it was a promise to the man who had shared his cell for decades, a friend he believed to be innocent. This episode traces Leo’s bond with Kevin Herrick and the years they spent fighting side by side, even as the courts shut them out. Now, with Leo free, Kevin’s case draws new attention from Georgetown’s Making an Exoneree program, where law student Nick White and Dr. Amanda Lewis begin pee...

Nick, Amanda, and three Georgetown undergraduates set out to re-investigate Kevin Herrick’s conviction, combing through trial transcripts, police reports, and overlooked details. What they uncover reshapes everything: a hidden police report that ties the crime to a different man with a violent record—a document Kevin’s defense never saw. For Amanda, it’s a discovery that could finally crack open a case buried for more than thirty years, and it raises a new possibility after decades of silence; m...
