Today we have the honor of speaking with Pulitzer Prize-winning author and the mastermind behind the podcast Bone Valley, Gilbert King. Known for his deep dives into the complexities of criminal justice, Gilbert has spent years unraveling the haunting story of Leo Schofield, a man wrongfully convicted for the murder of his wife. In this fascinating bonus episode, we discuss the emotional toll of telling such a gripping and complex story, the challenges of turning a multi-decade case into a podcast, and what it’s like working with the very people involved in these crimes. From Leo's resilience in the face of a wrongful conviction to the unexpected twists in season two involving Jeremy Scott, Gilbert shares behind-the-scenes insights into the making of Bone Valley. We also explore the emotional journey of forgiveness and redemption, and the powerful relationships that have emerged from this case, like the bond between Leo and Jeremy. Through the raw interviews and complex storytelling, Gilbert reveals what it was like to uncover layers of truth that had been buried for years. You won’t want to miss this heartfelt conversation about justice, the human side of crime stories, and the impact of storytelling in shedding light on the truth.   Listen to Bone Valley now, wherever you get your podcasts.    Thank you to this episode's sponsors:    We've worked out a special deal with Hiya for their best selling children's vitamin.

This week, we are discussing one of the most perplexing missing persons cases of the 2000s—the disappearance of Brian Shaffer. On April 1, 2006, Brian, a 27-year-old Ohio State medical student, was last seen entering the Ugly Tuna Saloona bar in Columbus, Ohio. But here’s where it gets strange: while there’s surveillance footage of him walking in, there’s no footage or evidence of him ever leaving. Despite numerous theories and a massive search, Brian has never been found, and his disappearance remains unsolved to this day. Tune in as we explore the mystery surrounding Brian's case and why it’s still one of the most baffling disappearances in modern history.   Thank you to this week’s sponsors!   Ready to put your fur-baby’s health front and center?

In July of 2002, former NBA star Bison Dele, his girlfriend Serena Karlan, and a boat captain named Bertrand Saldo vanished while sailing the South Pacific Ocean. The only person to return from the trip was Bison’s older brother, Miles. When Miles arrived alone in Tahiti, the boat had been repainted and renamed. Authorities suspected Miles had murdered the other three while at sea so that he could assume his brother’s identity, but with no bodies ever found and with Miles’ death in 2002, the fate of Bison and his companions remains a mystery to this day.  Research by Charity Dodd Thank you to this week’s sponsors!

  On July 9, 1993, just after 1:40am Russell Peterson of Sedona, AZ called 911 and reported that there had been a very bad accident during an argument with his wife, Stephanie. When asked to elaborate, Russel said that his wife had been shot and she was hurt very badly, though Russel couldn’t give a straight answer when it came to WHO shot her but he suggested that she may have shot herself. Suspicions arose later when the couple’s 4 year old daughter told investigators that it was her dad who fired the fatal shot.    Thank you to this week’s sponsors!   Give yourself the luxury you deserve with Quince!

Gabby Petito, a 22-year-old travel blogger, was found murdered in September 2021 after going missing during a cross-country trip with her fiancé, Brian Laundrie.
