A individual accused with harassing Kate McCann apparently recorded her a voicemail message which questioned: "suppose I am Madeleine?"

The defendant, twenty-four, who witnesses stated has consistently declared she was the missing Madeleine McCann, and Karen Spragg are facing charges charged with stalking Kate and Gerry McCann from June 2022 and February this year.

On Monday, Leicester Crown Court learned phone records and information obtained from phones recorded Ms Wandelt consistently requesting Madeleine's mother for a genetic test over 2023 and 2024.

Madeleine's case in 2007 - when she was three years old during a vacation in Portugal - is among the most covered investigations and remains open.

'I Am Not Seeking Money'

Another phone message, played in court, captured Ms Wandelt stating: "I understand I'm fat and not pretty like Madeleine used to be, but I feel what I feel."

While one recording of Ms Wandelt's monologues with Mrs McCann's answerphone expressed: "What if there is a tiny probability that I am she? What then? Wouldn't that be important for you?"

"I am not seeking money, I have a life here in Poland, I simply desire to know," the message continued.

The jury was advised that via emails, mobile messages and calls, Ms Wandelt demanded a DNA test, transmitted youth pictures to her phone in a effort to display a likeness to Mrs McCann's disappeared daughter, and stated to have "flashbacks" from a early life with the McCanns.

The investigator, a data specialist with law enforcement who compiled the data, informed the court there "didn't appear to be any responses" from Mrs McCann.

Ms Wandelt furthermore reached out to acquaintances of the McCanns, according to the phone records.

On that date, Mr McCann picked up a call from Ms Wandelt to his wife's phone, saying she had "a wrong number."

During that incident Ms Wandelt recorded a voicemail on Mrs McCann's voicemail stating "I won't give up and I will prove my point."

The court heard the co-defendant struck up a connection through digital means with Ms Wandelt preceding assisting her on a visit to the McCanns' home in that area in that winter.

Phone records revealed Mrs Spragg had reached out through messaging service to Mrs McCann to state the media had depicted Ms Wandelt as "a crazy person" but that she deserved to be taken seriously in the period preceding the visit to the village, the county, in last December.

The court was told communications between the two individuals, in November 2024, planning endeavoring to acquire Mrs McCann's biological evidence from her trash or from cutlery at a dining venue.

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

On the night of the appearance to their house, the defendant dispatched a message which stated: "We find ourselves sitting outside the McCanns' home with our lights out similar to detectives. I desired to do this with Peter Andrew I didn't imagine I would be involved in this with the McCanns."

The trial ongoing.
