Suspected Harasser Questioned: 'Yet Suppose I Am Madeleine?'

A individual indicted with harassing Kate McCann reportedly recorded her a recorded message which posed: "what if I am Madeleine?"

Julia Wandelt, twenty-four, who court testimony revealed has persistently declared she was the disappeared Madeleine McCann, and her co-defendant are on trial indicted with harassing Kate and Gerry McCann between June 2022 and February the current year.

On Monday, the tribunal heard phone records and data retrieved from phones documented Ms Wandelt persistently demanding Madeleine's mother for a genetic test throughout the past two years.

Madeleine's disappearance in 2007 - at the age of three during a vacation in Portugal - is one of the most widely reported missing child cases and is still unsolved.

'I Don't Want Money'

One recorded message, shared in court, captured Ms Wandelt saying: "I realize I'm heavy and unattractive like Madeleine used to be, but I know what I believe."

While a separate message of Ms Wandelt's one-way conversations with Mrs McCann's recording said: "What if there is a tiny probability that I am Madeleine? What then? Isn't that significant for you?"

"I do not need money, I have a existence here in Poland, I simply desire to discover," the message continued.

The panel was advised that through electronic messages, mobile messages and calls, Ms Wandelt asked for a biological test, transmitted childhood photos to her phone in a attempt to show a likeness to Mrs McCann's vanished daughter, and stated to have "recollections" from a youth with the McCanns.

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

Ms Wandelt furthermore reached out to family friends of the McCanns, based on the communication logs.

On that date, Mr McCann responded to a phone call from Ms Wandelt to his wife's phone, declaring she had "the wrong phone."

That day Ms Wandelt left a message on Mrs McCann's voicemail saying "I won't give up and I plan to establish my position."

The court heard Mrs Spragg struck up a relationship through digital means with Ms Wandelt preceding joining her on a visit to the McCanns' property in Leicestershire in December 2024.

Communication data demonstrated Mrs Spragg had communicated via messaging service to Mrs McCann to state the media had characterized Ms Wandelt as "mentally unstable" but that she should be taken seriously in the time before the trip to the village, Leicestershire, in that winter.

The court heard correspondence between the two accused, in that autumn, considering endeavoring to obtain Mrs McCann's DNA samples from her garbage or from silverware at a restaurant.

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

On the evening of the appearance to their residence, the defendant transmitted a text which expressed: "We find ourselves sitting adjacent to the McCanns' home with our vehicle dark like investigators. I desired to achieve this with another person I hadn't anticipated I would be involved in this with the McCanns."

The trial continues.
