Survivor, Holly K. Dunn

If you or a friend has been sexually assaulted, please visit the RAINN website for advice or call 1-800-656-HOPE (4673)

Holly K. Dunn (Holly Dunn Pendleton) is the only known survivor of the Railroad Serial Killer, Angel Maturino Resendiz. She and her boyfriend, Chris Maier, were attacked by Resendiz on August 28, 1997 in Lexington, KY. Both were students at the University of Kentucky.

Chris was killed in the attack. But somehow, Holly survived. She was raped, beaten, stabbed, and left for dead. After recovering physically, Holly began the lifelong process of healing emotionally. She had a broken eye socket, a broken jaw, a stab wound, and numerous cuts on her head and face.

Though Holly's life has been dramatically affected and changed by the attack, she prides herself on living as a survivor, not a victim.
