Suspected Stalker Inquired: 'Yet Suppose I Might Be Madeleine?'

A woman indicted with harassing Kate McCann reportedly left 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 vanished Madeleine McCann, and Karen Spragg are standing trial indicted with pursuing Kate and Gerry McCann between June 2022 and February the current year.

On Monday, the court learned phone records and information recovered from phones logged Ms Wandelt consistently requesting Madeleine's mother for a DNA test over the past two years.

Madeleine's disappearance in 2007 - as a three-year-old during a vacation in Portugal - is among the most covered missing child cases and continues to be unsolved.

'I Am Not Seeking Money'

Another voicemail, shared in court, recorded Ms Wandelt saying: "I know I'm fat and not pretty like Madeleine had been, but I believe what I believe."

While one recording of Ms Wandelt's recordings with Mrs McCann's answerphone said: "Suppose there is a small chance that I am Madeleine? What then? Wouldn't that be important for you?"

"I don't want money, I have a living here in Poland, I simply desire to understand," the recording stated.

The tribunal was told that through emails, SMS messages and calls, Ms Wandelt requested a DNA test, forwarded childhood photos to her phone in a effort to display a resemblance to Mrs McCann's missing daughter, and asserted to have "memories" from a early life with the McCanns.

An intelligence analyst, an intelligence analyst with the police force who collated the data, advised the court there "seemed to lack any replies" from Mrs McCann.

Ms Wandelt also contacted close associates of the McCanns, according to the phone records.

On that date, the father answered a communication from Ms Wandelt to his wife's phone, stating she had "incorrect contact information."

That day Ms Wandelt deposited a recording on Mrs McCann's recording saying "I will persist and I plan to establish my point."

The court was informed Mrs Spragg established a relationship through digital means with Ms Wandelt prior to assisting her on a trip to the McCanns' home in that area in December 2024.

Phone records demonstrated Mrs Spragg had communicated through WhatsApp to Mrs McCann to state the media had depicted Ms Wandelt as "a crazy person" but that she ought to be taken seriously in the time leading up to the appearance to that location, the county, in December 2024.

The court heard correspondence between the two individuals, in November 2024, planning trying to obtain Mrs McCann's biological evidence from her garbage or from silverware at a dining venue.

"We need to assert ourselves," the co-defendant advised Ms Wandelt.

On the occasion of the appearance to their home, the defendant sent a message which said: "We find ourselves sitting adjacent to the McCanns' home with our vehicle dark resembling detectives. I had hoped to do this with someone else I never thought I would be engaged in this with the McCanns."

The trial proceeds.
