A individual indicted with harassing Kate McCann apparently recorded her a recorded message which questioned: "imagine I am Madeleine?"

Julia Wandelt, twenty-four, who court testimony revealed has repeatedly declared she was the vanished Madeleine McCann, and her co-defendant are on trial charged with pursuing Kate and Gerry McCann between June 2022 and February this year.

On Monday, the court heard communication data and information recovered from phones recorded Ms Wandelt repeatedly asking Madeleine's mother for a DNA test over the past two years.

Madeleine's case in 2007 - as a three-year-old during a vacation in Portugal - is one of the most publicized investigations and continues to be unsolved.

'I Do Not Need Money'

Another recorded message, presented in court, recorded Ms Wandelt saying: "I realize I'm overweight and not pretty like Madeleine was, but I believe what I know."

While another instance of Ms Wandelt's one-way conversations with Mrs McCann's recording stated: "Imagine there is a slight possibility that I am she? Then what? Wouldn't that be significant for you?"

"I am not seeking money, I possess a living here in Poland, I just want to discover," the message continued.

The panel was told that by means of emails, SMS messages and communications, Ms Wandelt asked for a biological test, transmitted early photographs to her phone in a attempt to demonstrate a likeness to Mrs McCann's vanished daughter, and claimed to have "flashbacks" from a youth with the McCanns.

An intelligence analyst, an intelligence analyst with the police force who collated the data, told the court there "showed no any replies" from Mrs McCann.

Ms Wandelt additionally communicated with acquaintances of the McCanns, according to the phone records.

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

During that incident Ms Wandelt deposited a voicemail on Mrs McCann's voicemail declaring "I will persist and I will prove my point."

The court learned Mrs Spragg struck up a association through digital means with Ms Wandelt before accompanying her on a appearance to the McCanns' home in the county in last December.

Communication data demonstrated Mrs Spragg had communicated via messaging service to Mrs McCann to express the press had portrayed Ms Wandelt as "mentally unstable" but that she deserved to be considered genuine in the period preceding the visit to Rothley, that area, in last December.

The court heard message exchanges between the two defendants, in November 2024, planning endeavoring to get Mrs McCann's biological evidence from her garbage or from utensils at a eating establishment.

"We must make a stand," the co-defendant advised Ms Wandelt.

On the occasion of the visit to their house, Mrs Spragg sent a message which stated: "We're currently positioned adjacent to the McCanns' house with our vehicle dark resembling private investigators. I desired to do this with someone else I didn't imagine I would be doing that with the McCanns."

The trial continues.
