Accused Stalker Questioned: 'However Suppose I Am Madeleine?'

A individual indicted with harassing Kate McCann reportedly deposited her a voicemail message which questioned: "suppose I am Madeleine?"

The defendant, twenty-four, who a jury heard has repeatedly claimed she was the disappeared Madeleine McCann, and Karen Spragg are standing trial charged with harassing Kate and Gerry McCann from June 2022 and February the current year.

On Monday, the court heard call records and evidence retrieved from phones logged Ms Wandelt repeatedly asking Madeleine's mother for a biological test over that period.

Madeleine's disappearance in 2007 - when she was three years old during a vacation in Portugal - is among the most widely reported investigations and remains unsolved.

'I Am Not Seeking Money'

One phone message, played in court, recorded Ms Wandelt declaring: "I understand I'm fat and not pretty like Madeleine used to be, but I know what I feel."

While a separate message of Ms Wandelt's recordings with Mrs McCann's voicemail stated: "What if there is a tiny probability that I am Madeleine? What happens next? Wouldn't that be crucial for you?"

"I don't want money, I possess a existence here in Poland, I just want to know," the recording stated.

The jury was informed that through electronic messages, mobile messages and communications, Ms Wandelt requested a biological test, forwarded early photographs to her phone in a attempt to demonstrate a similarity to Mrs McCann's missing daughter, and claimed to have "recollections" from a early life with the McCanns.

Robert Jones, an intelligence analyst with law enforcement who compiled the evidence, advised the court there "showed no any answers" from Mrs McCann.

Ms Wandelt furthermore contacted family friends of the McCanns, as per the phone records.

On 9 October 2024, Gerry McCann picked up a phone call from Ms Wandelt to his wife's phone, declaring she had "a wrong number."

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

The court learned the co-defendant developed a relationship via internet with Ms Wandelt preceding assisting her on a appearance to the McCanns' residence in that area in that winter.

Call logs showed Mrs Spragg had communicated using communication app to Mrs McCann to state the news outlets had depicted Ms Wandelt as "emotionally disturbed" but that she ought to be taken seriously in the period before the appearance to that location, Leicestershire, in December 2024.

The court learned message exchanges between the two accused, in November 2024, considering trying to obtain Mrs McCann's genetic material from her garbage or from cutlery at a dining venue.

"We have to assert ourselves," the co-defendant informed Ms Wandelt.

On the night of the visit to their residence, the defendant sent a communication which stated: "We find ourselves sitting adjacent to the McCanns' home with our vehicle dark similar to private investigators. I had hoped to achieve this with another person I never thought I would be involved in this with the McCanns."

The trial continues.
