Suspected Stalker Asked: 'But What If I Am Madeleine?'

A female indicted with stalking Kate McCann allegedly recorded her a phone message which posed: "imagine I am Madeleine?"

Julia Wandelt, 24, who witnesses stated has consistently declared she was the vanished Madeleine McCann, and her co-defendant are facing charges indicted with stalking Kate and Gerry McCann from June 2022 and February this year.

On Monday, Leicester Crown Court heard communication data and information retrieved from phones documented Ms Wandelt persistently demanding Madeleine's mother for a DNA test throughout the past two years.

Madeleine's disappearance in 2007 - when she was three years old during a family holiday in Portugal - is considered the most widely reported child disappearance cases and continues to be open.

'I Do Not Need Money'

Another voicemail, shared in court, captured Ms Wandelt stating: "I know I'm heavy and not pretty like Madeleine used to be, but I know what I feel."

While a separate message of Ms Wandelt's recordings with Mrs McCann's recording stated: "Suppose there is a tiny probability that I am she? What happens next? Isn't that important for you?"

"I don't want money, I maintain a life here in Poland, I simply desire to understand," the message continued.

The panel was advised that via emails, SMS messages and calls, Ms Wandelt requested a biological test, forwarded early photographs to her phone in a effort to display a likeness to Mrs McCann's vanished daughter, and stated to have "flashbacks" from a youth with the McCanns.

An intelligence analyst, an intelligence analyst with the police force who gathered the data, advised the court there "showed no any responses" from Mrs McCann.

Ms Wandelt furthermore communicated with family friends of the McCanns, as per the call data.

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

On that occasion Ms Wandelt deposited a voicemail on Mrs McCann's voicemail declaring "I will continue and I will prove my claim."

The court heard Mrs Spragg established a association online with Ms Wandelt prior to assisting her on a appearance to the McCanns' residence in that area in December 2024.

Phone records demonstrated Mrs Spragg had reached out through messaging service to Mrs McCann to state the news outlets had portrayed Ms Wandelt as "emotionally disturbed" but that she should be treated respectfully in the time before the appearance to that location, the county, in that winter.

The court heard communications between the two accused, in last November, considering endeavoring to acquire Mrs McCann's biological evidence from her trash or from cutlery at a restaurant.

"We must make a stand," Mrs Spragg informed Ms Wandelt.

On the evening of the visit to their home, Mrs Spragg transmitted a message which expressed: "We're currently sat outside the McCanns' house with our lights out resembling detectives. I wanted to achieve this with another person I never thought I would be engaged in this with the McCanns."

The case ongoing.
