Suspicious video
Suspicions of femicide emerged after investigators analyzed security camera footage that captured the minutes before the accident at a toll booth.
In the footage, Henay is seen sitting in the driver’s seat, seemingly unconscious, while Alison is in the passenger seat. At one point, he extends his hand to pay the ticket and then begins driving the vehicle impromptu.
According to civil police, the scene caught the attention of the toll attendant, who asked if everything was okay. About nine minutes later, the car took a wrong turn and collided with a bus. Henay’s death was confirmed at the scene.
History of violence
After the case turned around, civil police began collecting messages, photographs and medical records that would indicate a possible history of domestic violence.
Investigators say this context helps explain the evidence found and reinforces suspicions that Henay’s death was not an isolated event.
