Not a verbatim recording.....that old chestnut!

TBH I think Gerry played a blinder.
Why do you think the lawyer didn't advise Gerry to remain silent but did with Kate?

So when GM said he used the key in the first interview then changed his mind in the second one,the second may well be wrong and the first right,seeing as the statements aren't verbatim like.
I'm not disputing the gist of what was said, only the exact phraseology. The interviews were not recorded verbatim so the questions and answers given were inevitably paraphrased.  Kate said Gerry was asked if he'd hidden his daughter's body.  He may well have been.  Or the translator may have interpreted the police question as such.  Or Gerry may have told Kate that is what he was asked but remembered it differently to what he was asked. We just don't know.  So to say that because the two questions don't match identically proves that Kate is writing untruths in her book (with the obvious implication that entails) is somewhat unfair in my book.  No doubt you have a completely different take on it, so fire away.

According to Kate's book, Gerry was advised to remain silent by Carlos PdA.

Or that Kate wasn’t to remain silent at all ?

True. If the statements are unreliable then everything said in them is unreliable. That's the timeline out the window for a start.

If Kate's book is entirely fictional in your view perhaps you should stop using it as evidence to prove your point about anything at all?  Perhaps she only said she muttered "f..king tossers" under her breath but actually didn't. Perhaps we should simply disregard every word written or uttered by the McCanns on the basis that not a single word can be trusted to be true.  How's that?

Your post #10

Kate had been questioned for at least eleven hours the day before.  I suggest she had already answered question 47 at that time.

Incidentally, Kate was in the police station for 11 hours, but wasn't answering questions the whole time.

Exactly.

I think the clue that she had already been asked these questions may lie in the fact she is recorded as saying that she could add nothing further to what she already had, so she had been asked them before.

The 48 questions that went unanswered September 7, 2007.
Kate McCann entered the Portimão Judicial Police in the morning and the interrogation was extended until the evening. It was heard as a witness, but the tension in the air was evident. For the first time, people gathered at the door of the PJ's facilities and murmured words of distrust toward the couple.

That day the CM had reported that the dogs had detected a corpse odor on Maddie's mother's clothing. A proof that the authorities intended to use as trump, in an inquiry that only the following day changed course, after the PJ did not see clarified their doubts.

Kate began by answering all the questions, but when being constituted defendant stopped talking. He returned to silence in the company of the lawyer, and accepted all the insinuations provocatively.

Less than 48 hours later, Kate and Gerry travel to England with the twins, leaving behind the investigation the disappearance of their daughter, who had been four years old. They later assured that they would return if that was necessary - which they never did, although formally they had not been summoned to return - and are no longer accused of involvement in concealing the child's corpse.

Today the CM reveals the 48 questions that Kate did not want to answer in the interrogation and which reflect the investigators' doubts.
More than a year after Maddie disappears, many of these questions remain unanswered.

APPROPS FOR THE MCCANN COUPLE
Kate and Gerry McCann's visit to Portimão's PJ facilities marked a turning point in the relationship between the couple and the couple: the curious people who spent the day in the street sucked Maddie's mother and father, criticizing mainly the "absence of visible suffering" from Kate. Also the foreign press was present in great number.

PROCESS PASSES TO BE PUBLIC ALREADY AFTER TOMORROW
From tomorrow, all the investigation into the disappearance of Madeleine will be made available to defendants, witnesses, lawyers and also journalists, because it is a case of manifest public interest.
The case, which was filed on July 21, will also be accessible to the general public, a situation that will allow a genuine scrutiny of the work carried out by the Judiciary Police.
This decision, which turned out to be a case involving a child, was only announced after Portuguese lawyers for the McCann family, Carlos Pinto de Abreu and Rogério Alves, asked the Court of Portimão to give priority to access to the cars .
Already last Wednesday the court had asked all interested parties who had previously requested the consultation of the records to leave a CD in the registry, since the process will be provided in digital format.
The closure of the investigation to the disappearance of the girl, which occurred on May 3, 2007, in the Algarve, precipitated the lifting of the secret of justice, which had been extended precisely until August.

"All I'm going to say is that we've conducted a very serious investigation and there's no indication that Madeleine McCann's parents are connected to her disappearance. On the other hand, we have a lot of evidence pointing out that Christian killed her," Wolter told the "Friday at 9"....

VS I wonder why you ask peoples opinions based on what Kate says in her book. What Kate said which cannot be verified surely couldn't possibly be answered.

To ask opinions  is then open to then to accuse people of being unkind to the McCanns if they do not answer in a positive light and then claim it is only an opinion- is pointless really. Bit goading If I am to be honest about it.

Not at all. If what they say is verified by another independent source then I’m willing to believe them.

Except the first question asked by the PJ wasn’t  ‘did you dispose of your daughter’s body’.

Sorry to be pedantic ... but that statement from you requires a cite.  Thank you

That is exactly what I would do If I read it... However, there is no harm in pointing out some ikle discrepancies... now is there.
