Accused Stalker Inquired: 'However What If I Could Be Madeleine?'
A individual charged with pursuing Kate McCann apparently left her a voicemail message which posed: "suppose I am Madeleine?"
Julia Wandelt, 24, who witnesses stated has persistently claimed she was the disappeared Madeleine McCann, and her co-defendant are facing charges charged with harassing Kate and Gerry McCann from June 2022 and February the current year.
On Monday, the tribunal learned communication data and data recovered from phones documented Ms Wandelt consistently asking Madeleine's mother for a DNA test over 2023 and 2024.
Madeleine's case in 2007 - when she was three years old during a vacation in Portugal - is considered the most publicized investigations and remains open.
'I Am Not Seeking Money'
One voicemail, played in court, recorded Ms Wandelt saying: "I know I'm overweight and plain like Madeleine was, but I believe what I know."
While another instance of Ms Wandelt's one-way conversations with Mrs McCann's voicemail expressed: "Suppose there is a slight possibility that I am Madeleine? What happens next? Isn't that significant for you?"
"I do not need money, I have a existence here in Poland, I only wish to understand," she added.
The panel was told that via electronic messages, mobile messages and calls, Ms Wandelt demanded a genetic test, forwarded youth pictures to her phone in a effort to show a likeness to Mrs McCann's disappeared daughter, and stated to have "flashbacks" from a childhood with the McCanns.
The investigator, an intelligence analyst with law enforcement who compiled the data, advised the court there "seemed to lack any replies" from Mrs McCann.
Ms Wandelt furthermore communicated with family friends of the McCanns, according to the phone records.
On that date, Mr McCann 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 recording on Mrs McCann's voicemail declaring "I will persist and I intend to demonstrate my claim."
The court was informed the co-defendant struck up a connection via internet with Ms Wandelt before joining her on a trip to the McCanns' property in that area in that winter.
Communication data demonstrated Mrs Spragg had contacted via communication app to Mrs McCann to express the news outlets had characterized Ms Wandelt as "a crazy person" but that she deserved to be considered genuine in the period preceding the appearance to that location, the county, in December 2024.
The court was told message exchanges between the two defendants, in that autumn, planning endeavoring to acquire Mrs McCann's DNA samples from her trash or from silverware at a eating establishment.
"We have to assert ourselves," the co-defendant informed Ms Wandelt.
On the night of the trip to their residence, Mrs Spragg dispatched a text which stated: "We find ourselves sitting adjacent to the McCanns' residence with our vehicle dark like private investigators. I had hoped to achieve this with someone else I never thought I would be involved in this with the McCanns."
The proceedings proceeds.
