Summary

In August 1986, 18-year-old Jennifer Levin was found dead in Central Park after a night out. She had been attacked and strangled. When the police questioned Robert Chambers, the young man who was seen leaving a bar with Jennifer, he had injuries that indicated he’d been in a fight. Chambers eventually admitted to killing Jennifer but claimed it happened on accident after Jennifer injured him during “rough sex.” 

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss Robert Chambers and the murder of Jennifer Levin. This case gained the national spotlight. It happened in New York City, and Chambers was given the name the Preppy Killer. But, what grabbed the attention of many was that Robert Chambers claimed that Jennifer Levin was the aggressor and actually sexually assaulted him. Robert changed his story a number of times, often, it seems to conform to the known facts of the case.
