Crook County

Hi, Crook County listeners! iHeartPodcasts & Tenderfoot has a new season of the hit franchise called Bone Valley, hosted by Gilbert King. 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. Tune in to this top-tier True Crime thriller, but don't just take our word for it; check out the trailer to decide for yourself!     Listen to Bone Valley on the iHeartRadio App or wherever you get your podcasts!
