Kate McCann: those questions she refused to answer - part 1

Kate McCann on her way out of the police station after being constituted arguida.

Taking a look at a few of those 48 questions that Kate McCann refused to answer when she was questioned as an arguida. Let's start with this question about the curtains behind the sofa:

4. Why had the curtain behind the sofa in front of the side window (whose photo was shown to her) been tampered with? Did somebody go behind that sofa?

We know that the sofa had been pushed up against the wall under the window, but this is a very specific question, not about the sofa itself, but about the curtain. I wonder what led the PJ to suggest that the curtain had been tampered with? The 48 questions put to Kate McCann were clearly not random or vague, but designed to elicit definite information about events and observations made by the PJ in apartment 5A on the night that Madeleine McCann disappeared.

A piece of information we do have is that both Eddie (EVRD) and Keela (CSI dog) gave their alerts to an area behind the sofa.

Did someone go behind the sofa? Seems like a fairly innocuous question, but it wasn't answered. Not by Kate McCann, anyway, but there was an answer to an unasked question by Eddie. What did the person do who went behind the sofa?

Eddie dog seems to know that something went on behind that sofa even if he doesn't know by whom.

Dogs don't lie and they may not even know what the question is, but dogs like Eddie do provide answers in their own way.

Kate McCann stated at the time that the PJ's questions were not aimed at finding Madeleine, but at incriminating her. What might be incriminating about asking, "Did someone go behind that sofa?"

I guess this question may have come after Kate McCann had been shown videos of them doggies at work. Yes, Kate McCann, why were those doggies so interested in the area behind the sofa? Considering that you claim to have carried rotting meat and leaking nappies in your hired car, I doubt very much that you were bending over behind that sofa every day with a feather duster! I could imagine you down there on your hands and knees, though, with a bucket of bleach for some reason! By all accounts some scrubber had been behind that sofa!

Why would someone who carries rotting meat in a hired car scrub the floor tiles in a rented apartment? So, question 4 is a very good one: who went behind that sofa and what did they do?
