A individual indicted with stalking Kate McCann reportedly deposited her a recorded message which posed: "imagine I am Madeleine?"

Julia Wandelt, twenty-four, who a jury heard has persistently claimed she was the vanished Madeleine McCann, and her co-defendant are facing charges accused with harassing Kate and Gerry McCann from June 2022 and February the current year.

On Monday, the court learned communication data and information obtained from phones recorded Ms Wandelt persistently requesting Madeleine's mother for a DNA test over that period.

Madeleine's vanishing in 2007 - when she was three years old during a family holiday in Portugal - is one of the most covered missing child cases and remains unsolved.

'I Am Not Seeking Money'

One phone message, shared in court, documented Ms Wandelt stating: "I know I'm heavy and plain like Madeleine had been, but I feel what I feel."

While one recording of Ms Wandelt's monologues with Mrs McCann's recording said: "Imagine there is a tiny probability that I'm her? Then what? Is that not important for you?"

"I am not seeking money, I maintain a existence here in Poland, I just want to know," she added.

The jury was told that by means of electronic messages, SMS messages and calls, Ms Wandelt asked for a DNA test, forwarded early photographs to her phone in a attempt to demonstrate a similarity to Mrs McCann's vanished daughter, and stated to have "flashbacks" from a childhood with the McCanns.

The investigator, an investigator with law enforcement who gathered the data, advised the court there "didn't appear to be any replies" from Mrs McCann.

Ms Wandelt furthermore contacted family friends of the McCanns, according to the call data.

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

That day Ms Wandelt left a message on Mrs McCann's voicemail declaring "I will continue and I intend to demonstrate my position."

The court heard Mrs Spragg developed a association via internet with Ms Wandelt preceding accompanying her on a appearance to the McCanns' home in Leicestershire in last December.

Communication data demonstrated Mrs Spragg had contacted via communication app to Mrs McCann to state the media had characterized Ms Wandelt as "mentally unstable" but that she deserved to be taken seriously in the months preceding the trip to that location, the county, in December 2024.

The court learned correspondence between the two defendants, in last November, discussing endeavoring to acquire Mrs McCann's biological evidence from her bins or from utensils at a eating establishment.

"We must assert ourselves," Mrs Spragg advised Ms Wandelt.

On the night of the trip to their home, the defendant transmitted a communication which said: "We find ourselves positioned outside the McCanns' residence with our vehicle dark similar to detectives. I had hoped to do this with Peter Andrew I hadn't anticipated I would be doing that with the McCanns."

The case ongoing.
