Accused Harasser Questioned: 'However Imagine I Could Be Madeleine?'

A woman accused with harassing Kate McCann allegedly recorded her a phone message which asked: "imagine I am Madeleine?"

The defendant, 24, who witnesses stated has repeatedly declared she was the disappeared Madeleine McCann, and her co-defendant are standing trial indicted with pursuing Kate and Gerry McCann between June 2022 and February the current year.

On Monday, the court was told communication data and evidence obtained from phones recorded Ms Wandelt persistently asking Madeleine's mother for a biological test during the past two years.

Madeleine's case in 2007 - as a three-year-old during a family holiday in Portugal - is among the most covered investigations and remains unresolved.

'I Don't Want Money'

A separate recorded message, played in court, documented Ms Wandelt declaring: "I know I'm overweight and not pretty like Madeleine had been, but I know what I believe."

While another instance of Ms Wandelt's one-way conversations with Mrs McCann's answerphone expressed: "What if there is a tiny probability that I am Madeleine? What happens next? Isn't that significant for you?"

"I do not need money, I maintain a life here in Poland, I simply desire to understand," she added.

The jury was advised that via electronic messages, text messages and calls, Ms Wandelt requested a genetic test, sent youth pictures to her phone in a effort to demonstrate a likeness to Mrs McCann's disappeared daughter, and asserted to have "recollections" from a youth with the McCanns.

An intelligence analyst, a data specialist with the police force who compiled the information, informed the court there "showed no any responses" from Mrs McCann.

Ms Wandelt furthermore contacted family friends of the McCanns, according to the phone records.

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

On that occasion Ms Wandelt recorded a recording on Mrs McCann's recording declaring "I will continue and I plan to establish my position."

The court heard the co-defendant developed a connection via internet with Ms Wandelt preceding joining her on a appearance to the McCanns' property in that area in December 2024.

Communication data demonstrated Mrs Spragg had communicated through messaging service to Mrs McCann to say the news outlets had portrayed Ms Wandelt as "emotionally disturbed" but that she ought to be considered genuine in the period leading up to the visit to the village, Leicestershire, in last December.

The court learned correspondence between the two accused, in that autumn, planning trying to get Mrs McCann's genetic material from her trash or from cutlery at a eating establishment.

"We have to assert ourselves," Mrs Spragg told Ms Wandelt.

On the evening of the appearance to their house, Mrs Spragg sent a message which expressed: "We find ourselves positioned adjacent to the McCanns' home with our vehicle dark similar to investigators. I wanted to accomplish this with another person I didn't imagine I would be engaged in this with the McCanns."

The trial proceeds.
