There were many discrepancies, contridictions and inconsistencies with the victimn's (Tanya Savege - not the victim's real name) trial testimony and police report. Discrepancies that cast serious doubt that Henry (Hank) Haughton was the perpretrator of this crime or whether a crime was even committed. Here are discrepancies with Tanya Savege's testimony:
- (1) Tanya testified Hank's knife touched her throat at least twice during the night of the crime. Why wasn't there any marks on her throat?
- (2) Tanya testified she had thrown a beer bottle at Hank and saw a cut on the right side of his face measuring two inches in length. Why wasn't there any marks or cuts on Hank’s face?
- (3) Tanya testified that Hank peed on a quilt outside of the car and then they had sex on it. Why would Hank want to have sex on a quilt he had just peed on?
- (4) Tanya testified she threw a beer bottle at Hank that hurt him and cut his face. She ran back to the car taking five minutes to put on her bathing suit before trying to escape. Why did Tanya take five critical minutes to put on her bathing suit instead of running as fast as she could to flee and escape from Hank?
- (5) Tanya testified the drive-in movie theater was closed the night of the crime and that's the reason no one heard her yelling and screaming for help; yet in later testimony Police Officer Pacitti said the movie theater was open that night which was later verified by theater management.
- (6) Tanya testified that during the evening while Hank was raping her that they drank beer and smoked cigarettes. Doesn't this appear to be unusal behavior during a crime of rape?
- (7) Tanya testified on multiple occasions that the beer Hank had were sixteen ounce Budweiser cans, when in fact they were twelve ounce Budweiser beer bottles.
- (8) Tanya testified that sometime during the night Hank fell asleep and was snoring. She stated the knife dropped outside of the car and fell to the ground and that she was alone in the backseat of the car for almost thirty minutes. With Hank asleep and snoring, the knife outside the car in pitch blackness, and Tanya in the backseat of the car alone for thirty minutes why didn't she attempt to escape?
- (9) Tanya,testified that while sitting on the passenger side of the car she crawled over Hank and looked outside the driver's side window to see the knife on the pitch black ground; without waking Hank up.
- (10) Tanya testified Hank took her to a McDonald’s drive-through window for breakfast food after having just raped her? Why didn't Tanya try to get the woman's attention at the drive-through, window by screaming, or trying to run away (remember at this point she knew Hank didn't’ have the knife)? Why would Hank risk taking Tanya to McDonald's where she might have screamed or tried to escape?
- (11) Tanya testified Hank left her alone in his car to go into a corner convenience store to purchase cigarettes. Why would Hank, after supposedly having just raped Tanya leave her alone in his car where she could easily run away and escape?
