.
Kate McCann was probably unaware at the that her refusal to answer these forty eight innocuous questions would one day become public knowledge with the release of the case files.

Innocuous enough by anybodies standard, particularly if your child had been abducted, but number forty one might raise an eyebrow.

~~~

1. On the 3rd of May 2007, at around 10 p.m., when you entered the apartment, what did you see, what did you do, where did you search, what did you handle?

6. Why did you say straight away that Madeleine had been abducted?

7. Presuming that Madeleine had been abducted, why did you leave the twins alone at home while you went to the Tapas to raise the alarm? Even because the supposed abductor could still be inside the apartment.

8. Why didn't you ask the twins at that moment what had happened to their sister, or why didn't you ask them at a later point in time?

9. When you raised the alarm at the Tapas, what exactly did you say and what were the words?

10. What happened after you raised the alarm at the Tapas?

37. Did you work on a daily basis?

38. Did you stop working at a certain point in time? Why?

39. Do your twin children have difficulty in falling asleep, are they unruly and does that upset you?

41. Is it true that in England you considered the possibility of handing over Madeleine's guardianship to a relative?

42. In England, did you give your children medication? What type of medication?

43. Within the process, you were shown films of a forensic character, where the dogs can be seen marking indications of human cadaver odour and equally human blood traces, and only of human origin, as well as all the comments that were made by the responsible expert. After the visualisation, and after cadaver odour was signalled in your bedroom next to the wardrobe and behind the sofa that was pushed against the living room window, you said that you could not explain anything apart from what you had already said?

44. You said that you could not explain anything apart from what you had already said, concerning the marking of human blood behind the sofa by the detection dog?

45. You said that you could not explain anything apart from what you had already said, concerning the marking of cadaver odour in the boot of the vehicle that you rented a month after the disappearance?

46. You said that you could not explain anything apart from what you had already said, concerning the marking of human blood in the boot of the vehicle?

47. You said that you could not explain anything apart from what you had already said, upon being confronted with the result of the collection of Maddie's DNA, which was analysed by a British lab, behind the sofa and inside the vehicle's boot?

48. Did you have any responsibility or intervention in the disappearance of your daughter?

She said "Yes, if the investigation thinks so".
