Listener Reviews

I have listened to a few true crime pods and most are not all that good. This one, however, is different. Very well done in all of the investigations that the podcasters have shown. I have lived in Florida for almost 60 years and the description of law enforcement in central Florida is spot on. Not many professional officers in the 70’s and 80’s. That is beginning to change with the influx of new citizens here especially in central Florida. I hope Leo gets pardoned and gets to go home. He deserves it

This story is so unbelievably heartbreaking! My thoughts and prayers go out to this poor family (these FAMILIES) suffering from this injustice! Law abiding citizens want to trust our Justice system but crooked, haughty, prideful, power hungry people ruin it all! OWN UP TO YOUR MISTAKES! YOU GOT IT WRONG!! Let Leo GO!!!! Enough is enough!! Exodus 23:7

I pray for Leo

What an incredible podcast. It will leave you feeling heartbroken, angry, in disbelief, and with hope. I cannot say enough on the hosts and creators of the podcast: the time and energy put in to this investigation - INCREDIBLE! I will definitely continue to follow news on Leo and his family.

I’ve never written a review for a podcast, but I felt compelled to write one for this one. This is such a heart breaking story. The final episode brought me to tears. I hope there is a day where Leo can enjoy his family outside the prison walls.

Please do an episode about how those with authority in Leo’s case can be held professionally accountable for their pride and ambivalence, which stands in the way of justice far too often.

This is just a fantastic podcast for fans of shows like Serial, Murder in Illinois or Murder in Oregon, Up and Vanished, and In The Dark. The depth and integrity of the investigative journalism, the clear and compelling narrative style, and the interplay of Gilbert and Kelsey are all A . Hopefully, the attention the podcast is bringing to this case will help bring justice and closure to Leo and to Michele’s family.

Great story teller! Great job investigating!

Omg guys PLEASE keep going for Leo, what an unbelievable miscarriage of justice !! I wish I could help in some way ! Public pressure needs to be put on the District attorneys office about a new trial ! Protests, sits ins , whatever it takes ! Let them know this is not going away until they do the right thing ! This is one case that sticks with me . It stays on my mind . No human being should have their whole life taken away due to a DA that only wants to rack up the wins! Corruption at its finest ! Start asking people to get involved ! I would love to do a justice for Leo social media page. The more people who know , the more people will be outraged. When people are outraged they take action! Bless you both 🙏🏻

So we’ll done. Smart, interesting and insightful. Please do more like this.

This is hard to listen to….although a great listenPoor Leo 😔 Shame on his attorneys ESPECIALLY Seth from the Innocence Project- what a joke of a lawyer

This is worth the listen! Avalon’s actions toward the end are abusive and horrible to hear. She should be ashamed.

It is so hard to listen to just how broken our judicial system is. It’s infuriating and ridiculous. Hopefully, the truth will prevail and Leo will be able to go home to his family. Great job Gilbert and Kelsey. We are rooting for you all!

This podcast has me talking back to it so you know it’s excellent. I audibly gasp and get outraged. I really hope Leo gets out and in the meantime this is an excellent description and takedown of the legal scene in central Florida. True investigative and yet compassionate reporting. I have grown a bad taste for true crime in recent months but I’m glad I took a chance on Bone Valley.

Really well done. Gripping story told well.

This podcast is amazing. So very well done. They did the work not reporting on what someone else reported on.

So far this is second best to “root of evil” my heart bleeds for Leo.

Precision storytelling from the jump. Best podcast of the year.

I cry each episode at the failure of the legal system. It enrages me. Thank you for your fight and determined for justice.

This is the best podcast I've heard. I am absolutely disgusted with the state of Florida and also not surprised with their behavior in this case. Justice for Leo. Justice for Michelle.

This is the best true crime podcast I have listened to hands down. It is compelling, well written, and thoroughly investigated. This podcast is every bit as captivating and important as Serial and S1 Up & Vanished and should be talked about more!

One of the best podcasts I’ve ever listen to

Honestly one of the most compelling podcast I have listened to. A must listen on so many levels!!

This podcast has made me bawl at least three times. I pray for all involved, especially Leo — it is unbelievable, hard to comprehend.
