The Preppy Murder: Death in Central Park

Robert Chambers was the proverbial 'Babe Magnet.'

Tall, dark, handsome and raised in the Upper East Side of Manhattan, he appeared on a likely trajectory to a comfortable life.

College-bound Jennifer Levin, pretty, personable and living a more normal life to the south, in Greenwich Village, hung around with the same friends as Chambers.

They hit it off and, after just another normal night out at a local club, the two headed into Central Park.

Only Chambers came out, but the police were soon knocking at his door.

This overly long 5-hour documentary spells it all out, and justice may well be served.

The rating of this series is extremely high, considering the content.

It is just on the extreme side repetative, two episodes would have been more than enough.

I Want a Lawyer! Never, ever, ever speak to the police if you think that they think you are involved in any type of criminal activity. Robert Chambers should have kept his mouth shut! He volunteered to go to the police station that was his first mistake. A big one! A sense of entitlement gone wrong. A good crime documentary.

This true crime doc is less about the crime itself, and more about the people involved and issues it influenced. Why was the Catholic Church publicly supporting a suspected murderer...even working to post his bail? Why did the President of Cartier provide a cashier's check for $3000+ to cover items stolen by Chambers? Why did his then 16-year-old girlfriend refuse to ever speak again with Robert Chambers? And could anything good ever come from the death of the 18-year-old young woman, Jenniver Levin.

This isn't salacious gossip, I wouldn't even call it the "inside story"; this show simply presents a fuller, more well-rounded picture of who Robert Chambers was at the time of Jennifer Levin's death.

This documentary could have been done in an hour long episode. Many of the information was repetitive and many of the people being interviewed were irrelevant. Also, it doesn't say much about the crime itself. I only gave it a 6 because I love true crime docs.
