In this haunting episode, we revisit one of New York City’s most infamous and tragic true crime cases: the 1986 murder of 18-year-old Jennifer Levin. What began as a summer romance between Jennifer and the charming, handsome Robert Chambers quickly spiraled into a national media frenzy—one that would expose the dark underbelly of privilege, victim-blaming, and manipulation within the justice system.

We explore Jennifer’s promising life, Robert’s troubled past, and the horrific events that unfolded in Central Park. From Robert’s unbelievable “self-defense” claim to the ruthless courtroom strategies that dragged Jennifer's character through the mud, this case gripped the city and the nation.

Join us as we break down the investigation, trial, and aftermath of a case that sparked outrage, rewrote tabloid headlines, and left a family shattered—all while a killer walked free far too soon.

Content Warning: This episode contains discussions of graphic violence, sexual assault, and victim-blaming that may be disturbing to some listeners.
