About this listen

On August 28, 1997, just as she was starting her junior year of college at the University of Kentucky, Holly Dunn and her boyfriend, Chris Maier, were walking along railroad tracks on their way home from a party when they were attacked by notorious serial killer Angel Maturino Resendiz, a.k.a. The Railroad Killer.

After her boyfriend is beaten to death in front of her, Holly is stabbed, raped, and left for dead. In this memoir of survival and healing from a horrific true crime, Holly recounts how she lived through the vicious assault, helped bring her assailant to justice, and ultimately found meaning and purpose through service to victims of sexual assault and other violent crimes, working as a motivational speaker and activist and founding Holly's House, a safe and nurturing space in her hometown of Evansville, Indiana.

Most people wouldn’t (or couldn't) survive & thrive after an ordeal like the one Holly endured.
How close she came to being another victim of this awful man, how terrifying that must've been to live through.
It’s thanks to people like her that more killers are caught & punished, & that others have hope.

Horrifying yet hopeful & well worth a listen.
