Event Summary

The event details the harrowing experience of Holly Dunn, the lone survivor of an attack by serial killer Ángel Maturino Reséndiz on August 29, 1997. The attack resulted in the murder of her boyfriend, Chris Maier, and Holly Dunn's sexual assault and severe injuries. The investigation into Ángel Maturino Reséndiz's crimes stalled until December 1998, when the murder of Dr. Ángel Maturino Reséndiz in United States — Houston, United States — Texas, provided DNA evidence linking him to the crimes. A nationwide manhunt ensued, with Ángel Maturino Reséndiz featured on 'America s Most Wanted'. He surrendered to United States authorities in July 1999. Holly Dunn played a crucial role in his trial, testifying against him. Ángel Maturino Reséndiz was convicted of capital murder in 2000 and sentenced to death, ultimately executed by lethal injection in June 2006. Before his execution, he confessed to at least 15 murders across six states.
