During eleven hours of interrogation, Kate McCann refused to answer 48 specific questions.
Madeleine's mother, who was legally represented in the interview, stayed silent as police threw a series of loaded questions at her that made clear they thought she was involved in her daughter's disappearance.
She answered only once - when accused of harming the hunt for Madeleine by her silence.
Kate McCann: She only answered one question during 11 hours of interrogation
