The Preppy Murder

Rating: 🔥

The Preppy Murder. It’s Gossip Girl meets true crime. A young woman’s body is found in Central Park early in the morning by a woman out for her morning bike ride. Was her body dumped in the park by a psychotic stranger? Or was someone in her elite prep school circle responsible for her murder?

This case is FASCINATING! It’s got slut shaming and victim blaming, social climbing, drugs, sex, socialites, and controversy from the Catholic Church. The documentary combines staged reenactments, interviews with family members and friends, and original footage from media coverage to tell Jennifer Levin’s story. This 5-part mini-series is now available to stream on demand. If you can’t get enough, there’s also a podcast edition of the story available from Crime Junkie Podcast.
