Suspected Stalker Asked: 'But Suppose I Could Be Madeleine?'
A woman accused with harassing Kate McCann allegedly deposited her a voicemail message which questioned: "imagine I am Madeleine?"
Julia Wandelt, twenty-four, who witnesses stated has consistently claimed she was the vanished Madeleine McCann, and her co-defendant are on trial indicted with pursuing Kate and Gerry McCann from June 2022 and February the current year.
On Monday, the court learned communication data and information obtained from phones logged Ms Wandelt persistently demanding Madeleine's mother for a DNA test during that period.
Madeleine's vanishing in 2007 - when she was three years old during a trip in Portugal - is one of the most covered missing child cases and remains open.
'I Do Not Need Money'
Another phone message, shared in court, recorded Ms Wandelt declaring: "I know I'm heavy and not pretty like Madeleine used to be, but I know what I know."
While another instance of Ms Wandelt's one-way conversations with Mrs McCann's voicemail expressed: "Imagine there is a tiny probability that I'm her? What happens next? Isn't that important for you?"
"I do not need money, I possess a living here in Poland, I only wish to understand," the message continued.
The panel was told that through electronic messages, text messages and communications, Ms Wandelt requested a biological test, transmitted early photographs to her phone in a attempt to show a similarity to Mrs McCann's missing daughter, and stated to have "memories" from a early life with the McCanns.
An intelligence analyst, an investigator with the police force who collated the information, told the court there "didn't appear to be any answers" from Mrs McCann.
Ms Wandelt also contacted family friends of the McCanns, according to the communication logs.
On October 9th, 2024, Gerry McCann answered a phone call from Ms Wandelt to his wife's phone, declaring she had "a wrong number."
On that occasion Ms Wandelt left a voicemail on Mrs McCann's answerphone declaring "I won't give up and I plan to establish my claim."
The court learned Mrs Spragg established a association through digital means with Ms Wandelt preceding joining her on a appearance to the McCanns' residence in that area in that winter.
Call logs demonstrated Mrs Spragg had communicated using communication app to Mrs McCann to express the media had characterized Ms Wandelt as "a crazy person" but that she ought to be taken seriously in the time before the visit to the village, the county, in last December.
The court was told message exchanges between the two individuals, in last November, planning attempting to get Mrs McCann's genetic material from her bins or from silverware at a restaurant.
"We have to assert ourselves," Mrs Spragg informed Ms Wandelt.
On the night of the appearance to their residence, the defendant dispatched a message which expressed: "We're currently sitting near the McCanns' house with our headlights off resembling investigators. I desired to do this with someone else I didn't imagine I would be engaged in this with the McCanns."
The proceedings ongoing.
