If Season 1 of The Devil’s Quarry was a horror story, Season 2 is a ghost story.

More than 30 years after 17-year-old Robin Murphy vanished from Carmel, New York, investigative journalist Paul Solotaroff and reporter Kathleen Horan plunge into the cold case that has haunted the community for decades. Robin was last seen with a convicted violent predator who was never charged in her disappearance. Now, as the original case file is reopened, new witnesses emerge, old evidence is reconsidered, and the search for Robin enters its most critical chapter. Can the truth finally be uncovered before time runs out? Or will one of New York’s most haunting mysteries remain a ghost story forever?

Award-winning investigative journalist and longtime Rolling Stone Magazine contributor Paul Solotaroff hosts the latest entry in the acclaimed Bone Valley anthology: The Devil's Quarry II starting September 30.

In early 2024, celebrated children’s book author and illustrator Petra Mathers and her husband,

photographer Michael Mathers, mailed letters to dozens of friends and family members to let

them know they had died by suicide. Petra and Michael were by all accounts healthy, happy,

and in love. Why did they choose to die together? And what did that decision do to the people

left to mourn them? On the new season of Death of an Artist, journalists Leon Neyfakh and Alice

Gregory set out to interview everyone who got one of Petra and Michael’s letters—as one

married couple trying to understand another. Through intimate conversations with Petra and

Michael’s friends and family about their own relationships to aging, grief, death, and the friends

they thought they knew, Death of an Artist weaves together a portrait of a community grappling

with the Mathers’ deaths and the final words they left behind. Listen to Death of An Artist

Graves County: Chapter 6 | Something Rotten

Just how far are cops and prosecutors allowed to go in their pursuit of justice – and who do we hold accountable when their whole case falls apart? These are questions that Quincy Cross, Tamara Caldwell, and Jeff Burton live with every day. Meanwhile, answers to why Jessica Currin’s murder investigation went so wrong in the first place may lie somewhere in the beginning. 

Key figures in this chapter:

Tom Mangold: British journalist who covered the Jessica Currin case and worked alongside citizen investigator Susan Galbreath. 

Tim Fortner: The lead Mayfield Police detective on Jessica’s murder case.

Ronnie Lear: Assistant Chief of the Mayfield Police in the early 2000s. 

Michael Greisz: Mayfield Chief of Police from 2004 to 2005. 

Wayne Potts (1939-2019): Former Mayor of Mayfield. 

Joe Currin: He is still waiting for answers on the death of his daughter. 

Quincy Cross: He is in prison, fighting for an evidentiary hearing and the chance at a new trial.  

Tamara Caldwell and Jeff Burton: They are still hoping to clear their names. 

David Cross and Rachelle Brown: Quincy Cross’ father and sister. 

Darra Woolman: Our source.

**Editorial Note** This case involved many defendants throughout the years and investigations by three law enforcement agencies. There was a lot we couldn’t get to, including the fact that two more men were charged in Jessica’s case: Isaac Benjamin and Austin Leech. Benjamin pled guilty to complicity to tampering with evidence and served just over one year in prison. Leech went to trial for perjury and tampering with evidence – the only other defendant to stand trial – and was acquitted in 2009.

Graves County: Chapter 2 | Jessica

Joe Currin did right by Mayfield. He played defense for the beloved high school football team, went to church every Sunday, ran his own business, and became a lieutenant for the fire department. So when his daughter Jessica was brutally killed, Joe thought Mayfield would do right by him. Instead, her case went unsolved for years.

Tim Fortner: The lead detective in Jessica Currin’s murder investigation. He was a patrolman with the Mayfield Police Department who had just been promoted to detective. This was his first homicide investigation, and he ran it from August 2000 until the case was transferred to the Kentucky State Police in 2003.

Graves County: Chapter 1 | Something Stinks

On August 1, 2000, the body of 18-year-old Jessica Currin was found outside of the middle school in Mayfield, KY. Jessica was a new mom and the daughter of a lieutenant with the fire department. Her case would go unsolved for years, until a local homemaker, a British journalist, and a few local girls came forward with a story that law enforcement would use to convict six people – including one man for life. It’s a good story: an ordinary woman helps solve a crime and bring justice to a small town. Maybe too good to be true.

Key figures in this chapter:

Jessica Currin (1981 - 2000): 18-year-old from Mayfield, KY. A new mom and the daughter of a lieutenant with the fire department. 

Susan Galbreath (1960 - 2018): Mayfield, KY homemaker originally from Chicago, IL. Received an “outstanding citizen” award from the Kentucky Attorney General’s office for her help in solving Jessica Currin’s murder.

Victoria Caldwell: Mayfield, KY local who was 15 at the time of Jessica’s death and would end up being the state’s key witness in the trial of her accused killer. She was also convicted as an accomplice to the crime. 

Quincy Cross: A Tennessee man convicted of the kidnapping, rape, and murder of Jessica Currin in a 2008 capital murder trial. Currently serving life in prison without parole. He dated Tamara Caldwell.  

Tamara Caldwell: Mayfield, KY local convicted of manslaughter and abuse of a corpse. She took a plea after Quincy Cross’s 2008 trial. Served almost six years. She is Victoria Caldwell’s cousin.   

Darra Woolman: She leads the "Department of Collaborators" – a group of folks from all walks of life committed to helping people in prison and connecting them with resources.

Nick, Amanda, and three Georgetown undergraduates set out to re-investigate Kevin Herrick’s conviction, combing through trial transcripts, police reports, and overlooked details. What they uncover reshapes everything: a hidden police report that ties the crime to a different man with a violent record—a document Kevin’s defense never saw. For Amanda, it’s a discovery that could finally crack open a case buried for more than thirty years, and it raises a new possibility after decades of silence; maybe Kevin really is next.

Leo Schofield walked out of prison wearing a shirt that read “Kevin is next.” For Leo, that wasn’t a slogan—it was a promise to the man who had shared his cell for decades, a friend he believed to be innocent. This episode traces Leo’s bond with Kevin Herrick and the years they spent fighting side by side, even as the courts shut them out. Now, with Leo free, Kevin’s case draws new attention from Georgetown’s Making an Exoneree program, where law student Nick White and Dr. Amanda Lewis begin peeling back the layers of a case that has never added up.

Jeremy: Chapter 6 | Walk Down that Road

By taking Michelle’s life, Jeremy not only shattered her family’s world—he also took Leo’s freedom.

Now, in an unlikely and unexpected moment—these two men, connected by Michelle Schofield’s murder, speak at last, their conversation heavy with the weight of the past.
Leo offers something unexpected: forgiveness and gratitude. And Jeremy responds with something he’s never truly given before: an apology.

As Gilbert brings Justin the answers he’s been looking for, Justin feels a weight lift. He no longer sees himself as an echo of his father’s worst acts.

And for the first time, Jeremy and Justin begin writing to each other. Their letters reveal a new side of Jeremy—vulnerable, searching, deeply human.

This is not the end of the story. It’s the beginning of something neither man thought possible: a relationship. In the end, redemption isn’t about escaping the truth, but about searching for it, confronting it, and finding the humanity still buried beneath.

Jeremy: Chapter 5 | Like a Little Kid

Meri is a housecleaner in North Florida. She didn’t know Jeremy. She just listened to Bone Valley. And she wrote him a letter.

Their friendship becomes a lifeline—something neither of them expected, and both of them needed. Through Meri, we see Jeremy as someone craving connection, terrified of being unloved, and trying to become a man his son might one day want to know.

When Jeremy finds out Justin wants to talk, it’s as if something inside him shifts. For the first time, there’s hope. A chance to become the version of himself he never thought possible.

Jeremy: Chapter 4 | Horse and Buggy 

Some truths never see the light. Gilbert has long believed that Jeremy Scott is responsible for more deaths than the state acknowledges—especially the unsolved murder of a cab driver in Intercession City. He’s tried everything he can think of to bring attention to the case, but the Osceola County Sheriff’s Office will not cooperate.  

Then, out of nowhere, a retired detective—the one who led the investigation that resulted in the arrest and eventual acquittal—reaches out to Gilbert, offering to help.

The State finally agrees to reopen the cab driver case, but the lines between author and advocate blur. Gilbert works with Jeremy—an unlikely collaborator—to chase the truth and bring resolution to a family that’s waited decades.

But justice doesn’t always wait. And it doesn’t always come.

Jeremy: Chapter 3 | Never Turned Her Back on Me

As Gilbert’s relationship with Jeremy deepens, it’s tested by Jeremy’s darkest instincts. After a long silence, Jeremy reveals he’s been thrown into solitary confinement because he stabbed another inmate—possibly in self-defense. Possibly not. 

Gilbert is forced to reckon with the contradictions: the man trying to right past wrongs, and the man still capable of harm. In letters and phone calls, in moments of rage and vulnerability, Jeremy opens a window into who he is now… and what still haunts him.

Even in solitary confinement, Jeremy begins to connect: with Gilbert, through books the author sends him, and eventually, with himself.

Jeremy: Chapter 2 | Destroyer

Justin’s life has been shaped by absence—of answers, of explanations, and his father. Now that he’s reaching back, he’s haunted by what he might find: rumors of brutality, inherited darkness, a legacy of violence.

As Gilbert helps Justin trace the moments that defined Jeremy’s path—especially the day he killed Donald Moorehead—Justin begins to confront an impossible question: if Jeremy had been stopped sooner, Leo would not have spent three decades in prison, but would Justin even exist?

This is not just a story about a murder. It’s about what we inherit, what we carry, and the fear that we might be made of the very things we fear most.

Jeremy: Chapter 1 | You Told Me No

After Bone Valley Season 1, something unexpected happened: people began to respond to Jeremy Scott—not for who he was, but for what he did—finally telling the truth. Among those drawn in is someone who has every reason not to be: Jeremy’s son, Justin. Now 35, Justin has never met his father, never wanted to. But something’s shifted. He wants answers.

Through a conversation years in the making, Justin’s mother Jami opens up about the relationship she once had with Jeremy—a relationship she’s never fully shared with anyone. Now, through Gilbert, mother and son begin to uncover a truth that’s been buried for decades.
