Graves County: Chapter 4 | My Girl Susan

Soon after Jessica Currin’s death, Victoria Caldwell came forward with a story different from the one she told at trial and implicated two completely different people. But the investigation into those suspects ended after Mayfield Police bungled the investigation and Susan Galbreath – with the help of Tom Mangold –  homed in on Quincy Cross.

Key figures in this chapter:

Jeremy Adams: The purported father of Zion, Jessica Currin’s son. He was first charged with her murder. 

Carlos “Lolo” Saxton: Jessica Currin’s last known boyfriend. He was first charged with complicity to commit murder.  

Donna Adams (1958-2019): Jeremy Adams’ mom and alleged friend of Susan Galbreath.

John Poole: Private investigator, three-time Mayfield councilmember, and the uncle of Jeff Burton. Jeff Burton was convicted of manslaughter and abuse of a corpse.  

Lacey Gates (1971-2022): A friend of Susan Galbreath. She helped her with the investigation. 

Rosie Crice: Victoria Caldwell’s sister and a prosecution witness. She later recanted her testimony in the trial of Quincy Cross.

In Season 1 of Bone Valley, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Gilbert King tells a story of a man, Leo Schofield, fighting to prove his innocence in the case of his wife Michelle’s murder.

In Season 2, “JEREMY” Gilbert King brings us a story about her actual killer, Jeremy Scott, fighting to prove his guilt. The State of Florida does not believe either man.

Bone Valley Season 3 | GRAVES COUNTY is a new story about a new case. A story that shares many familiar themes with the first two seasons of Bone Valley - an unspeakable crime, a dubious investigation, half-truths that ensnare innocent people, and heartbroken families caught in the middle.

GRAVES COUNTY is hosted by Maggie Freleng, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and one of the hosts of Lava For Good’s Wrongful Conviction.

Maggie is going to take us to a small town in Graves County, Kentucky, where a terrible discovery on the front lawn of a middle school invites a string of amateur and professional investigators to try to solve a murder. Maggie is the latest investigator to get pulled in. And she’ll take all of us along as she teases out this complicated web of rumors and lies, and perhaps even the truth.

Bone Valley Season 3 | GRAVES COUNTY will be available every Wednesday beginning September 17 wherever you get your podcasts. To binge the entire season, ad-free, starting September 17, subscribe to Lava for Good+ on Apple Podcasts.
