Robert Chambers, known as the “Preppy Killer,” has been transferred to Queens after being released from prison into a Rockland County halfway house.

The 56-year-old made headlines in 1986 for the strangling of 18-year-old Jennifer Levin in Central Park.

Chambers pleaded guilty to manslaughter, served 15 years behind bars and was paroled in 2003 before ending up back in prison for drug and assault charges in 2008.

He is now under post-release supervision until July 25, 2028, according to officials.
