Sole Survivor
Sole Survivor: The Inspiring True Story of Coming Face to Face with the Infamous Railroad Killer | Holly Dunn
6 posts | 1 read | 4 to read
A memoir of hope, healing, and survival, sure to resonate with fans of Jaycee Dugards A Stolen Life and Elizabeth Smarts My Story. On August 28, 1997, just as she was starting her junior year 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 Resndiz, aka 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. She has worked as a motivational speaker and activist and founded Holly's House, a safe and nurturing space in her hometown of Evansville, Indiana.

Tonight is my true crime meeting at the library! I can't wait, tonight is the Railroad Killer, I watched some interviews and documentaries beforehand and it's definitely an interesting case

Kaye That poor girl. I saw her on some show a long while back, talking about what happened. What a horrible ordeal she went through. 6y
fandom_hellspawn99 @kaye I know right? I can't believe something like that happened to her, especially here in my home state. 6y
Kaye She‘s very brave to be able to tell her story. It‘d be very hard I think. 6y

I almost decided to return this to the Library unread but decided to give it a few pages and see. Well, 50 pages later I‘m completely hooked.

Picked this at the library today. I heard her on the radio a few weeks back and put it on hold....now I‘m not sure I want to read it. We‘ll see.
