Amazing, Gut wrenching, Powerful
I’ve listened to hundreds of podcasts and this is among the top 3, probably top 2. Amazing storytelling and production. Some of the interviews with Leo and Jeremy are absolutely gripping! Will recommend to everyone I know.

Great podcast! Annoying loud swallowing
I loved the podcast but is there any way you all could’ve cut out at least some of Jeremy’s loud, wet swallowing? It drove me crazy in the “Coming Clean” episode. It was hard for me to continue to listen haha

Gut wrenching
Wow!! You guys know how to pull the emotions out of me. This story really had me feeling everything with you, the tears, the sorrow, the grief- especially after going through the evidence. Thank you for doing this podcast and exposing the injustice done to Leo Schofield. I realize he isn’t a perfect human being, but I truly believe he is innocent and justice was not served for him. I appreciate the judge bringing this case to your attention, and you moving to Florida for the time being to share this story.

Prosecutors on Schofield
Bone Valley is my favorite podcast. The Prosecutors did a great job on their examination of the case.

Blown Away
I am not only impressed with the production of this podcast, but the story was gut-wrenching and raw and REAL. Thank you to all involved…for bringing to light the all-too-true issues faced by too many undeserving people thrown into an unjust system, for giving humanity to the inhumane, and for delicately navigating the struggle between good vs evil, truth vs falsehood, and forgiveness vs the unforgivable. I will forever be impacted by this story, for so many reasons. You have made me change my opinion of the legal system and those who are falsely convicted…but also those who are responsible for heinous acts. What an incredible journey, with takeaways that will resonate with me the rest of my life.

Well made and heart breaking podcast
This podcast was very well made. The story is told in a way to honor Michelle and easy to follow as someone new to her case. I hope they are able to free Leo.

Gamer Changer
This podcast is a must listen!! It’s yet another disgusting taste of reality into just how bad our justice system is…across this country. I believed in our system but now I know first hand that we are all just one bad investigator away from being a Leo! We must do something to bring about change bc as it stands the cops and justice system that protect them are more criminal then half the people they set up and lock away!! Sad but listen and see just how often the Injustice system of our country gets it wrong!

Gripping, masterful, infuriating
One of the best podcasts ever. I had to make myself stop listening to get things done! The wrong done by the state in this case is maddening and infuriating, and their ignoring evidence in this murder (and the other murder) is utterly flabbergasting and criminal. Beyond excellent!

Great podcast
This case is infuriating. The state and people working for them should be ashamed of themselves. It is scary that these are the type of people that we are supposed to put our trust in to lead our justice system. Also sad for Michelle that they are not interested in real justice for her. What are the odds that a convicted murderer simply stumbled upon her car and left his finger prints from only stealing a radio. Come on.

WOW!!! Just WOW!!
This just blows my mind!! I’ve shed tears over this!! Awesome job! I listened based on the recommend by The Prosecutors. I’m so glad I did. And I signed the petition. I believe Leo is innocent. And I believe Jeremy is telling the truth and that he is remorseful.

Incredible
Could not get enough and can’t stop thinking about this story. I pray people step up and do the right thing someday.

Review of this podcast is a 10 out of 10
Fantastic Emotional On the edge of seat Very well done

Best podcast I’ve heard in some time!
I am always struggling to find a podcast that captivates me and I am so glad I stumbled across this. I could not stop listening and binged this until the end! One of the best podcasts I’ve listened to in awhile, definitely recommend listening.

Sickening that this happened
Truly unimaginable that peoples lives are ruined at the hands of an unethical, dishonest, corrupt person and/or people. I know this is nothing new and it’s still happening, but none the less it’s shocking. Hope the state attorney conscious was clear before died

How?
How in the world is something like this even possible? Absolutely sickening. Great reporting Gilbert.

Outstanding!
This podcast is so good, I wish I could give it 10 stars. Gilbert and Kelsie do such an amazing job! What a heartbreaking story!

Wow….
Cannot count how many times I said that as I listened. Highly recommend.

So glad I found this podcast
Recommended by The Prosecutor’s Podcast and really enjoyed the first episode. Excited to listen to the rest while I clean this weekend!

Bone Valley
This podcast is riveting! I listen to them all! All the crime podcasts, so many different ones and this is captivating! Listen now.

Best of the Best
I am a true crime power listener. I follow cases that have multiple episodes and get you into the story and attached to the victims. Bone Valley is the most incredible podcast I have come across. The storytelling is detailed and passionate it’s seek of justice and best of all portrays real people & real emotion. I would give this 10 stars if it was available. The interviews, research and recorded phone calls with parties that were involved make the story truly stick with you. The only other podcast that comes close is Counter Clock. That too has impeccable storytelling and draws you in so deep. Thank you for producing such a quality, amazing podcast. I am so sad it is over and look forward to more material from this crew. #justiceforLeo #overturnconviction #michellewantstoRESTINPEACE

Central Florida True Crime/Social Justice
I am a professional house cleaner in Jacksonville FL and listen to podcasts while I clean. I feel like I’m a bit of a podcast snob in that I like a great story, voices that are pleasing and easy to understand, and content that is meaningful. When I searched for podcasts set in Florida Bone Valley showed up and I was hooked. In the past I’d tell people that Serial and This American Life were my all time favorites but I have had to bump Bone Valley up on the list. It’s so well researched and put together in a way that you are compelled to binge it. I have listened to it more than once as I picked up more the second time around. Also, if you listen, I suggest you also read the episode notes and see the photographs Gilbert King added. It makes the story more full and compelling. And in the end, you are encouraged to take some action to help right a wrong in the FL justice system. This is not just another true crime podcast. This is the best. I hope more podcasters strive to do such a fine job and I look forward to more from the Bone Valley team.

Powerful- Brought me to tears
Wow!! What a powerful story and investigation. No podcast has ever brought me to tears, except this one. By the end of it, tears were streaming down my face bc it is just so sad. And I could feel the frustration and helplessness of everyone involved. Very moving and touched me very deeply. Amazing job!

Everyone Should Listen
I came across this podcast when I was in search of a new true crime podcast. Gilbert and Kelsey are doing such important work here! They presented this harrowing, heartbreaking, and maddening tale with the utmost professionalism. The passion they have for the pursuit of justice and truth shines throughout. The corruption of the Florida justice system sickens me, and I found myself so angry and frustrated. My heart goes out to Leo, and I am in awe of his strength of spirit amidst all the sorrow, injustice and unfounded spitefulness he’s received. To all involved: keep fighting the good fight.

All in
Listen to this podcast. You will not be disappointed. I haven't been this sucked in to a story since the 1st season of Culpable. Fantastic job by everyone involved on this one. The heartfelt human experiences of everyone involved in Leo's story, will stir your soul.

All of the emotions
I listen to A LOT of podcasts and I have never felt this compelled to write a review. I was looking for a series and I am so thankful I landed on Bone Valley. Throughout this podcast, I felt frustrated at the legal system, angry and sad for Leo, devastated for Michelle’s family, in awe of Crissie’s determination and devotion, shocked (in good way) at Scott Cupp’s ultimate decision, hopeless about Leo’s future, then hopeful for Leo’s future and impressed by Gilbert King’s commitment to Leo’s story and drive to see it through. Also, so proud of Kelsey for rising to the challenge! I was drawn in to the humanity of the story and the way it was told. It was both factual and emotional. No stone was left unturned. I was crying during the last bonus episode because Leo is the perfect combination of grace and grit. The way that he handles what comes his way is a testament to both his character and steadfast commitment to the truth. We all know that God is always working, but it is on His time, not ours. Leo embraces this and embodies patience and fortitude. I have learned so much from him. I am sad that I am done with the podcast but will be praying for Leo and the next chapter in his life. He has already made such an impact and I can’t wait to see where he goes from here. Thank you Gilbert, Kelsey and team. Well done.

Binge Worthy
I could not stop listening. It had me hooked from beginning to end. You will not want to miss a single minute of this show. It’s a television series for your ears.

Amazing podcast
I’ve been glued to this podcast since I started listening! I’ve been rooting for Leo and every time he was denied parole my heart broke for him and his family! I must say I sobbed along with Kelsey in the last episode. I can’t wait for an update, this podcast was amazing hope you all continue doing this work! Good luck to you all!

Blown Away
I am so impressed and touched by this tragic and complex story and the way Gilbert and team brought it to life. Everyone should listen to this podcast. Leo, I am rooting for you!

Best podcast in a long time!!
I’m so hooked since the first 5 min! Amazing work, can’t wait to finish

Great podcast but Extremely frustrating
This podcast is amazing! I was hanging onto every word and could not wait for the next episode. Leo is an amazing human and so resilient. I admire his faith and tenacity. It is so frustrating that the judicial system did not right this wrong!! Thank you for the amazing journalism and telling his story.
