Speaker 2: I'm really worried about it. Right to find out comed.
00:00:36
Speaker 3: Three days later, Michelle was found stabbed to death off a freeway in Lakeland, Florida. Shouldn't it be your responsibility to investigate?

Speaker 5: Wait a minute, we have investigated this thing upside down.
00:00:49
Speaker 3: No physical evidence connected Leo Scofield to the crime.
00:00:53
Speaker 1: And he said, I'm going to put you in the electric chair. And I said, that's what you're going to have to do, but I'm not going to say something that's not true.
00:01:02
Speaker 3: At twenty two years old, Leo was convicted for his wife's murder and sentenced to life in prison.
00:01:08
Speaker 5: Leo's Schofield is a cold blooded murderer, and if I have my way, he'll never get out of prison.
00:01:15
Speaker 3: But after Leo's conviction, there were still so many unanswered.
00:01:19
Speaker 2: Questions, always, always, the fingerprints was a big question in my mind.

Speaker 2: I would just really like to mother, who did it?
00:02:03
Speaker 3: I want you guys to find the truth, you know what I mean, and I can leave this world knowing that at least it was solved. I'm Gilbert King, a Pulitzer Prize winning author, and I've spent the last four years investigating this case with researcher Kelsey Decker. Together we set out to uncover the truth behind the conviction of Leo Schofield, but we would soon learn that Michelle Schofield's murder was just the tip of the Iceberg as our investigation pulled us down into the much darker world of Jeremy Scott.
