Accused Harasser Inquired: 'But What If I Might Be Madeleine?'

A individual charged with stalking Kate McCann allegedly deposited her a recorded message which asked: "imagine I am Madeleine?"

Julia Wandelt, 24, who witnesses stated has persistently declared she was the missing Madeleine McCann, and her co-defendant are facing charges indicted with harassing Kate and Gerry McCann between June 2022 and February the current year.

On Monday, the tribunal learned phone records and data recovered from phones recorded Ms Wandelt repeatedly requesting Madeleine's mother for a biological test during the past two years.

Madeleine's disappearance in 2007 - as a three-year-old during a vacation in Portugal - is considered the most publicized investigations and continues to be unresolved.

'I Am Not Seeking Money'

One voicemail, played in court, captured Ms Wandelt saying: "I realize I'm overweight and unattractive like Madeleine used to be, but I feel what I know."

While a separate message of Ms Wandelt's recordings with Mrs McCann's answerphone stated: "Suppose there is a slight possibility that I'm her? Then what? Wouldn't that be crucial for you?"

"I don't want money, I possess a life here in Poland, I simply desire to know," the recording stated.

The panel was advised that via emails, SMS messages and phone calls, Ms Wandelt asked for a genetic test, forwarded childhood photos to her phone in a effort to demonstrate a similarity to Mrs McCann's vanished daughter, and asserted to have "recollections" from a early life with the McCanns.

An intelligence analyst, an investigator with the police force who gathered the data, informed the court there "showed no any replies" from Mrs McCann.

Ms Wandelt furthermore contacted close associates of the McCanns, according to the call data.

On that date, Gerry McCann answered a phone call from Ms Wandelt to his wife's phone, saying she had "a wrong number."

That day Ms Wandelt recorded a recording on Mrs McCann's voicemail stating "I will persist and I will prove my position."

The court was informed the co-defendant developed a connection via internet with Ms Wandelt before joining her on a visit to the McCanns' property in the county in last December.

Phone records showed Mrs Spragg had reached out using communication app to Mrs McCann to state the press had portrayed Ms Wandelt as "mentally unstable" but that she should be considered genuine in the time preceding the visit to that location, that area, in that winter.

The court learned communications between the two accused, in November 2024, considering trying to get Mrs McCann's DNA samples from her garbage or from utensils at a restaurant.

"We need to make a stand," Mrs Spragg told Ms Wandelt.

On the occasion of the visit to their house, Mrs Spragg dispatched a text which stated: "We're currently sat near the McCanns' house with our headlights off like detectives. I had hoped to accomplish this with another person I never thought I would be involved in this with the McCanns."

The case proceeds.
