Sole Survivor

The Inspiring True Story of Coming Face to Face with the Infamous Railroad Killer

By: Holly K. Dunn, Heather Ebert

Narrated by: Hillary Huber

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.

A story that had to be told…

Such a compelling story that was hard to read, but also had to be told. Holly truly honored Chris by putting her story in writing. It reminds us that true evil exists in the world but so does resiliency and goodness. May his memory live forever and may this memoir bring Holly peace.
