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

A woman charged with stalking Kate McCann allegedly left her a phone message which questioned: "imagine I am Madeleine?"

Julia Wandelt, twenty-four, who court testimony revealed has repeatedly claimed she was the disappeared Madeleine McCann, and her co-defendant are facing charges accused with stalking Kate and Gerry McCann from June 2022 and February this year.

On Monday, the court heard phone records and information recovered from phones recorded Ms Wandelt repeatedly demanding Madeleine's mother for a DNA test during the past two years.

Madeleine's vanishing in 2007 - when she was three years old during a vacation in Portugal - is considered the most publicized missing child cases and continues to be unresolved.

'I Do Not Need Money'

Another voicemail, played in court, documented Ms Wandelt stating: "I know I'm overweight and not pretty like Madeleine had been, but I know what I believe."

While a separate message of Ms Wandelt's recordings with Mrs McCann's voicemail stated: "Suppose there is a tiny probability that I'm her? What happens next? Is that not crucial for you?"

"I don't want money, I have a living here in Poland, I simply desire to discover," she added.

The tribunal was told that through emails, mobile messages and phone calls, Ms Wandelt requested a genetic test, sent youth pictures to her phone in a attempt to display a resemblance to Mrs McCann's disappeared daughter, and claimed to have "recollections" from a youth with the McCanns.

An intelligence analyst, an investigator with the police force who collated the information, advised the court there "showed no any answers" from Mrs McCann.

Ms Wandelt also communicated with family friends of the McCanns, according to the phone records.

On 9 October 2024, Gerry McCann answered a communication from Ms Wandelt to his wife's phone, stating she had "a wrong number."

That day Ms Wandelt deposited a message on Mrs McCann's answerphone saying "I will persist and I intend to demonstrate my claim."

The court heard Mrs Spragg established a association online with Ms Wandelt preceding accompanying her on a trip to the McCanns' residence in that area in last December.

Phone records showed Mrs Spragg had communicated via communication app to Mrs McCann to express the media had portrayed Ms Wandelt as "emotionally disturbed" but that she deserved to be treated respectfully in the period before the trip to that location, the county, in December 2024.

The court learned message exchanges between the two accused, in last November, discussing endeavoring to obtain Mrs McCann's DNA samples from her bins or from cutlery at a dining venue.

"We have to make a stand," the co-defendant advised Ms Wandelt.

On the occasion of the visit to their house, the defendant transmitted a message which said: "We're currently sat adjacent to the McCanns' residence with our lights out like detectives. I desired to do this with Peter Andrew I never thought I would be involved in this with the McCanns."

The case ongoing.
