Murder on Songbird Road - Introducing: Bone Valley Season 2

Episode Date: April 30, 2025

In 1987, 18-year-old Michelle Schofield was found dead in a phosphate pit in Florida. Two years later, her husband Leo was convicted and sentenced to life in prison. Fifteen years later, previously unidentified fingerprints matched Jeremy Scott--a violent teenager who lived nearby. Jeremy has since confessed to Michelle’s murder. Yet, Leo Schofield remains behind bars. In season 2 of Bone Valley, host Gilbert King turns his focus on Jeremy Scott. He attempts to find out what turned Jeremy into a cold-blooded killer and who else may have suffered his wrath. King is the author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning book, "Devil in the Grove," which led to the exonerations of four innocent men.

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… So, I spoke to Jeremy yesterday. Something unexpected happened after Jeremy Scott confessed to killing Michelle Schofield. I just knew him as a kid. Long silent voices from his past came forward.

And he was just staring at me. And they had secrets of their own to share. His eyes were empty and there was nothing there. I thought I'd reached the end of this story. Everything has been going wrong for me. But the story wasn't done with me. He showed up at your house in this guy's car and he had blood on his pants. Why did you get in the car with him? Jeremy Scott had a lot more to say. 5-4-3-2-1. We'll be speaking with Jeremy Scott.

I could actually kill him. I could have put it right in his heart. 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 Jeremy Lynn Scott. I was no longer just telling the story. I was part of it. If the cops and everything would have done their job properly, my dad would have been

in jail. I would have never existed. I was becoming the bridge between a killer and the son he'd never known. Every time I hear about my dad, it's, 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? 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 hid the gun? Yeah. Now, I need to tell you how I got here. At the end of the day, I'm literally a son of a killer. Bone Valley, Season 2. Jeremy. Jeremy, I want to tell you something.
