The Man Who Came From the Railroad

Horror Stories
About this episode
In this chilling episode, I tell you about the "Railroad Killer," a man who terrorized small towns along the U.S. railroads in the late 1990s. We follow the stories of Chris Maier and Holly Dunn, two university students who crossed paths with this brutal attacker, as well as the other innocent victims who tragically encountered him. Survivor Holly Dunn’s remarkable journey to justice, the communities left scarred, and the eventual capture of the Railroad Killer make for a haunting exploration of human resilience and the relentless pursuit of justice.
