This was an incredible story of family, friendship and forgiveness. So many layers to this story and it brought me to tears and gave me goosebumps. So well done. Kudos to those involved with this production!

I don’t know where to start. I listen to podcasts a minimum of 20 hrs a week. I don’t know how I found this one but I am so glad that I did. This was the most beautiful and compassionately produced and hosted podcast I’ve ever listened to. It will stay with me. I will think about the tragedies the pain the beauty the grace the hope forever. The stories intertwining and bringing feelings, perspectives, and emotions to the listener that are so raw and so human is what makes it so special. Mr. King has so much respect from me for his compassion, empathy, and humility. I am sure as he investigated and told this story it was hard to process all of the feelings and twists and turns. It seems you’ve changed the people directly affected by this tragedy into something better off than they were. I hope you can allow yourself to appreciate that. It’s an incredible gift you have. It took decades and it took you. As I sit here and write this it all comes down to this, each one of the people you spoke with wanted to be heard and seen. That’s what you gave them. That’s all most people want. I thank you for this experience.

I don’t know how I made it through the end. I have cried the entire episode. Your show gives us all the tools to use to see the humanity in others. People can change. There is goodness in most everyone if we search, and they are given the tools to show it. Thank you for given Jeremy a voice. But the relationship between Mary and Jeremy is wonderful- I loved listening. Thank you!

An angel on earth. Best investigation ever.

If I could give this podcast 100 stars I would. The first season was exceptional and the second is even better. I recommend it to everyone I talk to. This is such an important story told in such an empathetic way.

This podcast shows that there’s no tool more powerful than that of human connection. Amazing story telling.

I listen to a lot of of true crime podcasts. This podcast was so well done and the story is so compelling. It truly digs into the depth of human beings and how complex we are. This is a must listen.

today, i finished the last episode of this podcast while crying my eyes out. i got very attached to all these characters along the way and by the end, i wanted us all to be friends in real life. the people reminded me of ones i have met in really well written fictional novels, fleshed-out folks, bordering somewhere on a spectrum between good and bad, both heroes and failures simultaneously. by the time the story wrapped up, i was left wandering where these characters would go next. in essence, i closed the pages, but i continued to think about these people and wish them well. thank you, mr. king, for doing such glorious justice with this podcast when justice was so very lacking in the original story. ⭐️

I am loving this podcast. This podcast is such an emotional rollercoaster. So good.

This is by far the best podcast I’ve listened to. The writing is exceptional and keeps me hooked. Keep putting out.

Wow… so I’ve already left a review, but I’m retyping after listening to Chapter 6 of Jeremy’s story and I’m crying. Leo’s story has stuck with me ever since I first listened to it. I watch for updates and am always moved to tears whether it be of joy or sadness. Every single episode of Jeremy’s story so far has given me chills! The most recent episode moved me to tears of awe and wonder. Hearing Leo speak to Jeremy and expressing his forgiveness and gratefulness for the truth. His encouraging words to Jeremy truly amaze me! The connection Jeremy now has with his son also brought me to tears! Really just such an incredibly moving story on all sides. Gilbert King and Kelsey are both amazing narrators. If you haven’t already, go listen!!!

Riveting story. I can’t even explain how much empathy I felt for a cold blooded killer. This was one of the best podcasts I have ever listened to.

The first season of this podcast was very well done, but somehow the second season was even better. The humanization of Jeremy and his redemption is a truly beautiful story. It’s amazing that in such a horrible situation forgiveness and grace ultimately prevails. Leo’s prayers for Jeremy are working.

Incredible investigating and storytelling. I started listening for the true crime narrative, and I’ve stayed because Gilbert and team capture the complexity of the human experience in every episode.

This is an outstanding podcast, coming from someone who listens to a LOT of podcasts.

This is by far one of the best podcasts I’ve listened to and I’ve listened to a bunch of them. Gilbert and Kelsey show such compassion to everyone involved. They are beautiful people! I’m so glad Leo is finally out and enjoying his family! He is a beautiful soul!!! Victoria Avalon should be ashamed of herself! She did the justice system a disservice!Looking for more from Gilbert and Kelsey!

I can’t even put into words what a beautiful and captivating podcast this is! It’s just phenomenal. From Gilbert’s & his teams work to get Leo out of jail and now hearing Jeremy and his son’s story of reconnecting. I have shed tears of joy and sorrow many times. If I could only recommend one podcast for the rest of my life, it would be this one!

I listen to a good deal of true crime podcasts, both short single episode stories and long form like this one and I don’t think I’ve ever heard one that moved me emotionally the way this one has. It sounds like there are many people who’ve been pulled in and emotionally invested in this story just as I have. And it may be even more so now with the second season. Listen! It’s WORTH IT.

How does this podcast just keep getting better? Gilbert King, you are an incredible writer and human being. Thank you for sharing this story with us.

Once in while a rare incredible individuals (Mr. King, Leo,etc) can bring together people one by one out of the most traumatic and unusual circumstances. The past can’t be changed however the future is yet to be written. While some souls may be too far gone, it’s exciting to see “the good parts” of a soul who still yearn to have their human needs met. And the rest we pour out to God to “lead us, guide us,walk beside us, and help us find the way”. In the end he’ll make things right.

Murder, lies, conspiracy, redemption, love & forgiveness. This is one of the most powerful and devastatingly beautiful stories. I can't find the words for it all. There's so much in these 2 seasons all wrapped up in so many emotions. I have cried so many tears from the sheer rawness of it all. But, the redemption...The love...The forgiveness...it's breathtaking. Some of it will anger and infuriate you, frustrate you and stress you out. And some will make you weep. But, in the end, you're given the gift of knowing what grace truly means.

I didn’t start Season 2 right away assuming it couldn’t be as compelling as Season 1. But here I am feeling empathy and rooting for Jeremy. The killer. The reason Leo was in prison. This is so well done.

This is quite possibly the BEST podcast I’ve listened to and I have listened to A LOT of them!! If you’re looking for something to binge, this is perfect. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This podcast had me so emotionally involved. I felt the emotions. I hurt listening to the courts deny an innocent man. It breaks my heart the judicial system failed in doing their job. It’s so I fail to hear how long Leo spent in jail. It should have been that way. But then I hear how positive he was and is and how he kept pushing forward. I’m sure he had some awful days but the fact that he had hope and just purposed in his heart to Love Jesus and continue to be the best he could be amazed me! On the last episode when he got to the Noah house and the lady said “Look at God” I got tears in my eyes and chills went all over me. I could feel the spirit and I know from the recording everyone else in that moment did too! Thank you so much for producing this podcast. I do pray and look forward to the day that Leo is exonerated!! 🙌🏼

This series has been phenomenal! The final episode of season two was so emotional. It reminds you of the beauty and power of humanity and redemption.

Unexpected and absolutely heart-wrenching. I never thought I’d feel this way about prison inmates I’ve never met, but Bone Valley changed that. Jeremy never stood a chance—his horrific childhood and desperate need for mental help broke my heart. I found myself crying and genuinely grieving the loss of someone I never knew. And then there’s Leo. Not only did he lose his wife—he lost his entire life to a wrongful conviction. It’s devastating to see how prosecutors and DAs cared more about protecting their image than admitting they got it so tragically wrong. He is paying the price for their pride. Gilbert and Kelsey did a remarkable job bringing light to such a painful miscarriage of justice. Their storytelling was compassionate, thorough, and deeply moving. This podcast is more than just true crime—it’s a powerful plea for humanity, truth, and reform. Lord, help our judicial system.

Outstanding podcast that, in so many ways, restores my belief that truth, decency, and good always prevail. In terms of Jeremy Scott, while there can be no doubt that his wrongs were heinous, they have to be properly judged in context with his upbringing and psychological factors. Please, please let Meri West know that I am so happy that people like her exist. She is an amazing soul.

I have hope like adnan Leo will soon be home in Jesus name.. It will happen. Leo pls hold on God has a miracle coming!!! This podcast touched my soul and I would recommend we spread it around so the right people will hear this!! Justice will be served!! Hold on Leo. I love this new season! I am crying and crying

This episode (season 2, episode 5) stopped me in all I was doing. What an incredible human Meri is. And Leo & Kelsey, the narration and music adds depth to this emotional episode. Thank you. We need more of these moments while the world is swirling around us.

Really loving the second season of Bone Valley! The staff shows incredible tenacity and I’m loving the storytelling.

Why are you glossing over the fact that Leo would hit Michelle??? Isn’t that true ?

This series is excellent and beyond heartbreaking and maddening. Absolutely heartbreaking to see how poor police/prosecutor/judges/system can DESTROY lives.

I don’t think I’ve ever been so moved by a podcast. The journalists did an incredible job telling an unbelievably painful story. And the corruption by the state of Florida…..unreal. My heart goes out to Leo and his family for a lifetime of injustice.

This was hands-down the best story I’ve listened to. And I have listened to many. I never once got bored. Never once thought it was just too redundant. I actually anticipated every next piece. I didn’t sleep much and focused solely on this story for hours upon hours until it was completely listened to. Thank you so much for strongly opening peoples eyes to the “Justice System” here in the United States. How is this anything but horribly wrong to have someone CONFESS yet because the department that put the wrong man in prison doesn’t want to be embarrassed or admit they were wrong WHILE RUINING SO MANY LIVES!!! Every single person in the sheriffs department or police department that had a hand in situations like this should be brought to their own justice. Without a doubt. When will they learn about accountability? They are the professionals? Who people are supposed to trust, respect and admire? Not these days. Very sad indeed. Again, WELL DONE. YOU NAILED IT🤍🤍🤍 ~ArA oWeNs, MiSsOuLa, Mt

This was some thorough investigative journalism and a well made podcast, but the theme music did not match the topic and the intensity of the script. The theme song, however, was awesome.

This is as good as it gets.

I listen to soooo much true crime and this podcast is just so well done. It brought out raw emotion in me and gave me a different view of what humanity can be. Who knew I could have empathy for a serial killer?

This podcast was one of, if not the best ever listened to. Great storytelling. Gripping content. Emotional and engaging. Objective to the point possible. Traumatic story. You have to listen to the entire series. Great job Gilbert and Kelcey. Feels like we know you both and the characters of focus.

Wow. I have never listened to anything as powerful as this story. I cried. I smiled. I laughed. I found myself, numerous times, standing still in the middle of my living room with ear pods in, covered in chills, overwhelmed with emotion and sometimes pure and utter SHOCK. The arrogance displayed from all ends of the Florida justice system will leave you floored. Their egos left me baffled and lead to unethical behaviors that cannot go ignored. King and his team do a phenomenal job…from research, building lasting relationships to telling this true story from the past into real time, well done. Thank you to every person that brought this story to life in the real world. And to Leo…thank you for never letting the system trick you into settling. For never wavering on the facts and standing your ground. You will hold a special place in my heart for the rest of my life, and I’m sure that is the same for many in this world. Thank you Leo.

This was the most amazing podcast I’ve ever listened to. I will have to think back on it for years, and strive to have the strength of so many of the people that are featured- I don’t want to spoil anything, but the sadness that I felt for Leo and Michelle was so raw, and then we get into the story of Jeremy, and I grieve for another life essentially lost. And clearly Justin’s mom is such an incredible person, and passed her compassion and understanding down to her son. Even in her pain she raised such a special young man. Leo’s strength, patience, thoughtfulness, and ability to forgive is incredible and so admirable. And of course Judge Scott Cupp, whose dedication to justice outweighed his career ambitions. Too many heroes in this story to count. Life is so unpredictable, and full of unexpected tragedies and blessing and angels, and I feel like that’s what this this podcast is really about. Wishing everyone involved all the best in life.

This podcast is so well written. The story is just heart breaking, lots of tears 💜

This has absolutely been one of my favorite podcasts and I listen to a lot of true crime! I binged it over like three days and couldn’t stop listening. Please make more episodes and continue this journey with Jeremey and Justin.

I listen to so much true crime and this is truly the cream of the crop. 10/10 can’t believe I’m just now discovering this.

Update: Jake. I have NEVER heard anything more real, compelling, and demanding of attention. Thank you Gilbert. This story changed me. Thank you for Telling this story…. What can we do? WHAT CAN WE DO?

Very well done, by the end I was ugly crying. I really recommend this podcast.

I just have to comment I think it’s hilarious how so many of these podcasters comment on confederate flags like somehow you must be dangerous if you have one.

I listen to so many true crime podcasts and this is by far one of the top 3 I’ve ever heard. Just amazing!

I listen to A LOT of true crime podcasts and this is by far the most compelling and best presented show I have ever listened to! Gilbert and Kelsey are amazing!

Podcast was good but then you read online about all the incriminating info they left out, can’t anyone just make an unbiased podcast ?

This podcast is so well done. This should be the standard in which all other podcasts have to measure up to. Gilbert has an easy voice to listen to and has such a gift to make this story come alive. I enjoyed this immensely. Thank you for your amazing work on this case!
