Suspected Harasser Asked: 'Yet What If I Am Madeleine?'

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

Julia Wandelt, twenty-four, who court testimony revealed has repeatedly claimed she was the missing Madeleine McCann, and Karen Spragg are facing charges accused with harassing Kate and Gerry McCann between June 2022 and February this year.

On Monday, the court was told communication data and data retrieved from phones documented Ms Wandelt repeatedly requesting Madeleine's mother for a biological test throughout that period.

Madeleine's vanishing in 2007 - at the age of three during a vacation in Portugal - is one of the most publicized missing child cases and continues to be unsolved.

'I Do Not Need Money'

Another phone message, played in court, recorded Ms Wandelt saying: "I know I'm heavy and unattractive like Madeleine had been, but I know what I feel."

While one recording of Ms Wandelt's recordings with Mrs McCann's recording expressed: "Imagine there is a small chance that I'm her? What then? Isn't that important for you?"

"I don't want money, I possess a existence here in Poland, I simply desire to discover," the recording stated.

The tribunal was told that by means of emails, text messages and calls, Ms Wandelt requested a biological test, sent early photographs to her phone in a attempt to display a similarity to Mrs McCann's missing daughter, and stated to have "recollections" from a youth with the McCanns.

Robert Jones, an intelligence analyst with the police force who compiled the data, advised the court there "showed no any replies" from Mrs McCann.

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

On October 9th, 2024, Mr McCann picked up a communication from Ms Wandelt to his wife's phone, saying she had "incorrect contact information."

During that incident Ms Wandelt recorded a voicemail on Mrs McCann's answerphone saying "I will continue and I will prove my point."

The court was informed Mrs Spragg struck up a relationship online with Ms Wandelt prior to joining her on a trip to the McCanns' property in the county in that winter.

Communication data demonstrated Mrs Spragg had reached out through WhatsApp to Mrs McCann to state the press had depicted Ms Wandelt as "emotionally disturbed" but that she deserved to be taken seriously in the time leading up to the appearance to the village, that area, in last December.

The court heard communications between the two individuals, in last November, planning attempting to get Mrs McCann's genetic material from her trash or from cutlery at a eating establishment.

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

On the evening of the appearance to their residence, the defendant sent a message which expressed: "We find ourselves sitting outside the McCanns' house with our headlights off resembling private investigators. I desired to do this with another person I didn't imagine I would be engaged in this with the McCanns."

The trial ongoing.
