Buyer viewing my house raped me after I was forced to choose between me and my daughter – then left us to DIE in inferno

WHEN Kristy Frensley was asked by a man to view her home as a potential seller, she didn’t think twice about letting him inside the property.

But it was a decision the mum-of-three would regret for the rest of her life.

When Kevin Dunlap approached her on her front lawn, she thought there was no harm in quickly showing him round.

But the mum had no idea that this stranger was a sick monster who would end up raping her and brutally murdering her three children.

Speaking on I Survived, Kristy, who was 36 at the time of the attack, was a single mum living in Texas, trying to sell her house.

The devoted mum had three kids, Kayla, 17, Kortney, 14, and Ethan, 5, and wanted to leave their sleepy suburb home to be closer to the city.

“It was a nice suburban neighbourhood,” she explained. “No-one locked their doors, everyone was friendly.”

“The kids and I wanted to move closer to town because where we lived was about a twenty-minute drive to anywhere.”

A Normal Day

Kristy recalls the horrific day started just like any other, with her cleaning up outside her house.

It was an autumn day in October 2008 when he approached her to say he was interested in looking at the house, and initially, Kristy was hesitant to let him in.

She said she had recognised him from the previous week when he approached her asking if someone he knew lived in the area, but she told him she wasn’t sure and he left.

But now, he approached wearing a satellite TV work shirt, and she thought, ‘He’s probably just in the area working and stopped by real quick to take a look at the house.’

The mum of three agrees to show him around the house, a decision that would change her life forever. 

While doing so, she noticed he didn’t ask any questions and stood behind her the entire time, which made her feel uneasy.

She made her way upstairs to show him the bathroom and the next thing she knew Kevin Dunlap had his arm wrapped around her neck and held a gun to her head.

Viscious Attack

“He told me to do what he said and no one would get hurt,” she recalled.

Kristy was left terrified and complied as he took her to the bedroom and told her to sit up on the bed.

She remembers he was eerily calm and quiet as he methodically bound her wrists and ankles with zip ties he had brought with him.

Once done, he asked her who else lived at the house. When she replied it was just her children, he went on to ask for their ages before adding, ‘Are you sure no one else lives in the house with you?’

When Kristy replied there was no one else, he began acting even more strangely. He paced around the house, opening and closing windows as Kristy was bound on her bed.

She prayed he would leave, hoping he would just burgle her, but it was clear he had no plans to when he asked when the kids were coming back and started rummaging through their bedrooms.

I didn’t want them to come in and see their mummy tied up.

He found a pair of tights in her eldest daughter’s room, cut them up and put them in his pocket.

Kevin remarked that the kids were late coming back from school, and Kristy begged him to let her answer the door to send them to neighbours.

“He told me ‘No, shut up.’ When I realised he wasn’t going to leave before the kids got home, I was scared for them. I didn’t know what was going to happen,” she explained.

“I didn’t want them to come in and see their mummy tied up.”

When they came home, Kevin launched at Kortney and put a gun to her head before locking all three of them in the bedroom with Kristy as he tied each of them up.

Then, Kevin took each of the kids out of the room one by one, as Ethan, her youngest, asked Kevin Dunlap: “Why are you doing this to my mummy? I love my mummy.”

After, he came back to the room Kristy was in before telling her to make a horrible choice.

Me or Her

The sadistic man told Kristy he had to rape her or her daughter and that she had to decide.

Like any mum would, Kristy chose herself rather than put her daughter through that, hoping it would keep them out of harm’s way.

It’s like he just snapped – he was calm and collected before, then all of a sudden was a monster.

“He started kissing me, he told me to use my tongue, he then cut my zip ties and pulled my shorts till they were all the way off,” and then he raped Kristy.

To cover the evidence, Kevin then took Kristy to the bathroom to shower her before taking her back to the bedroom.

He told her, “I’m going to have to put you out so that you don’t see me leave,” and began to strangle her. 

“It’s like he just snapped – he was calm and collected before, then all of a sudden was a monster,” she recalled.

Kristy fought back and then he tried to break her neck before taking out a knife and stabbed her.

He left the room before returning to stab her again, this time in the ear and lower back.

He used such force that the court documents state the butter knife snapped off inside her.

Kristy pretended to be dead to stop the attack and he covered her body with a blanket. Kristy could see Ethan, her son, in the other room lying on a pile of pillows, peacefully sleeping.

She figured she would pick him up and take him to safety before realising her wrists were still tied up, and Kevin had come back pouring, what we now know was flammable liquid, in the room.

He lit the room on fire and Kristy’s foot soon was as well, but when she tried to get up, she realised her right side was paralysed from the stabbing.

She managed to roll off the bed and used her left foot to open the French doors while her body was catching fire and rolled onto the deck. 

By the time Kristy reached safety, most of her house was ablaze and she had no idea where her children were.

Neighbours had come fleeing to the house to help, with one seeing Kristy’s daughter Kayla through the window.

They smashed it open and pulled her out – but the fire was so hot her skin peeled away in their hands.

It was later revealed that Kevin had slit her throat from ear to ear and she died in her garden.

The house burned down, and they tragically found Kortney and Ethan’s bodies.

When you lose your children, I don’t think you ever heal emotionally.

The autopsy report revealed Ethan had two stab wounds to the chest (including one that penetrated his heart), six stab wounds to his back and one to his stomach.

Kortney had three stab wounds to her chest that penetrated her left lung and one stab wound to the right side of her neck; both had died from their stab wounds.

Kristy was put into a medically induced coma because of her severe injuries, which included a fractured skull as well as her vocal cords and ear canal being severed.

“I kept waking up asking for my children; they told me they were in good hands,” she said.

Kristy was woken up on the third day surrounded by the police and her family, where she was tragically told all of her children were dead.

A friend told her, “Kristy, we’ve been telling you your children are in good hands because they are, but they didn’t make it.” 

Kristy sobbed as she heard that her children were brutally murdered. On the same day, Kevin was charged with the murders.

He was sentenced to the death penalty but died in hospital at the age of 51.

“When you lose your children, I don’t think you ever heal emotionally,” said the mum. “It’s something you never get over.”
