In this context, the public support that the family had initially received began to transform into intense media scrutiny, especially after the leak of supposed forensic evidence that, it was reported at the time, could implicate the McCanns.
The documentary also revives one of the most delicate moments of the entire investigation: the eleven hours of interrogation that Kate McCann faced before the Portuguese police.
After that extensive statement, the authorities informed her that she would be declared “arguida”, a legal status used in Portugal to formally designate a person under suspicion in a criminal case.
As the production reconstructs, during the interrogation, the investigators allegedly pressured Kate to confess to an alleged responsibility in her daughter's death, under the threat of facing criminal charges.
