Accused Stalker Asked: 'But Suppose I Am Madeleine?'

A female indicted with harassing Kate McCann apparently left her a voicemail message which asked: "what if I am Madeleine?"

Julia Wandelt, 24, who witnesses stated has repeatedly asserted she was the disappeared Madeleine McCann, and her co-defendant are facing charges indicted with harassing Kate and Gerry McCann from June 2022 and February this year.

On Monday, the court learned phone records and data recovered from phones documented Ms Wandelt repeatedly demanding Madeleine's mother for a DNA test throughout the past two years.

Madeleine's vanishing in 2007 - at the age of three during a family holiday in Portugal - is among the most widely reported investigations and continues to be unresolved.

'I Do Not Need Money'

One phone message, played in court, recorded Ms Wandelt saying: "I realize I'm overweight and plain like Madeleine was, but I believe what I feel."

While a separate message of Ms Wandelt's one-way conversations with Mrs McCann's answerphone said: "Imagine there is a tiny probability that I'm her? Then what? Isn't that important for you?"

"I am not seeking money, I have a existence here in Poland, I only wish to know," she added.

The tribunal was told that by means of electronic messages, mobile messages and communications, Ms Wandelt asked for a DNA test, forwarded youth pictures to her phone in a effort to display a resemblance to Mrs McCann's missing daughter, and asserted to have "recollections" from a childhood with the McCanns.

The investigator, an intelligence analyst with law enforcement who compiled the information, informed the court there "didn't appear to be any answers" from Mrs McCann.

Ms Wandelt furthermore communicated with family friends of the McCanns, according to the call data.

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

On that occasion Ms Wandelt deposited a message on Mrs McCann's recording stating "I won't give up and I will prove my position."

The court heard Mrs Spragg developed a association online with Ms Wandelt before assisting her on a appearance to the McCanns' residence in Leicestershire in last December.

Call logs revealed Mrs Spragg had reached out using messaging service to Mrs McCann to say the news outlets had depicted Ms Wandelt as "a crazy person" but that she should be considered genuine in the months before the trip to the village, Leicestershire, in December 2024.

The court learned message exchanges between the two individuals, in November 2024, considering attempting to acquire Mrs McCann's genetic material from her trash or from cutlery at a eating establishment.

"We need to take action," the co-defendant told Ms Wandelt.

On the night of the appearance to their home, Mrs Spragg sent a text which said: "We are positioned near the McCanns' home with our vehicle dark similar to detectives. I desired to do this with Peter Andrew I didn't imagine I would be involved in this with the McCanns."

The case proceeds.
