A individual charged with harassing Kate McCann apparently recorded her a voicemail message which posed: "what if I am Madeleine?"

Julia Wandelt, twenty-four, who witnesses stated has persistently declared she was the missing Madeleine McCann, and Karen Spragg are on trial accused with stalking Kate and Gerry McCann from June 2022 and February the current year.

On Monday, the court heard phone records and data retrieved from phones recorded Ms Wandelt persistently asking Madeleine's mother for a DNA test during that period.

Madeleine's vanishing in 2007 - at the age of three during a trip in Portugal - is one of the most publicized investigations and remains open.

'I Don't Want Money'

Another voicemail, shared in court, documented Ms Wandelt declaring: "I know I'm overweight and unattractive like Madeleine had been, but I feel what I believe."

While another instance of Ms Wandelt's monologues with Mrs McCann's recording said: "Imagine there is a small chance that I am Madeleine? What happens next? Is that not crucial for you?"

"I do not need money, I maintain a existence here in Poland, I only wish to discover," the message continued.

The tribunal was informed that by means of electronic messages, text messages and calls, Ms Wandelt requested a DNA test, forwarded childhood photos to her phone in a attempt to display a likeness to Mrs McCann's disappeared daughter, and stated to have "recollections" from a youth with the McCanns.

An intelligence analyst, an intelligence analyst with law enforcement who compiled the data, informed the court there "seemed to lack any answers" from Mrs McCann.

Ms Wandelt furthermore communicated with close associates of the McCanns, according to the phone records.

On that date, the father answered a phone call from Ms Wandelt to his wife's phone, stating she had "the wrong phone."

During that incident Ms Wandelt recorded a voicemail on Mrs McCann's voicemail stating "I won't give up and I intend to demonstrate my position."

The court learned the co-defendant developed a connection via internet with Ms Wandelt preceding joining her on a appearance to the McCanns' residence in that area in last December.

Call logs demonstrated Mrs Spragg had contacted via messaging service to Mrs McCann to state the news outlets had portrayed Ms Wandelt as "emotionally disturbed" but that she deserved to be taken seriously in the months before the appearance to Rothley, that area, in that winter.

The court learned communications between the two individuals, in that autumn, planning attempting to acquire Mrs McCann's biological evidence from her trash or from cutlery at a eating establishment.

"We have to make a stand," Mrs Spragg told Ms Wandelt.

On the occasion of the trip to their house, the defendant sent a communication which said: "We're currently sitting adjacent to the McCanns' house with our lights out similar to detectives. I wanted to accomplish this with another person I hadn't anticipated I would be doing that with the McCanns."

The case continues.
