Accused Harasser Inquired: 'Yet Suppose I Could Be Madeleine?'

A female indicted with pursuing Kate McCann allegedly left her a phone message which asked: "suppose I am Madeleine?"

The defendant, twenty-four, who witnesses stated has persistently claimed she was the disappeared Madeleine McCann, and her co-defendant are on trial indicted with pursuing Kate and Gerry McCann from June 2022 and February the current year.

On Monday, the court learned communication data and evidence retrieved from phones recorded Ms Wandelt consistently requesting Madeleine's mother for a genetic test during the past two years.

Madeleine's vanishing in 2007 - as a three-year-old during a vacation in Portugal - is one of the most widely reported missing child cases and is still unsolved.

'I Don't Want Money'

Another phone message, shared in court, documented Ms Wandelt saying: "I understand I'm fat and plain like Madeleine had been, but I believe what I believe."

While another instance of Ms Wandelt's one-way conversations with Mrs McCann's voicemail said: "Imagine there is a slight possibility that I am she? What happens next? Is that not crucial for you?"

"I don't want money, I have a existence here in Poland, I only wish to know," the message continued.

The panel was advised that through electronic messages, mobile messages and calls, Ms Wandelt asked for a biological test, transmitted early photographs to her phone in a effort to demonstrate a likeness to Mrs McCann's missing daughter, and asserted to have "memories" from a youth with the McCanns.

An intelligence analyst, a data specialist with Leicestershire Police who collated the information, advised the court there "showed no any replies" from Mrs McCann.

Ms Wandelt additionally reached out to family friends of the McCanns, as per the communication logs.

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

During that incident Ms Wandelt left a voicemail on Mrs McCann's answerphone saying "I will persist and I plan to establish my point."

The court learned Mrs Spragg established a connection via internet with Ms Wandelt preceding assisting her on a trip to the McCanns' home in Leicestershire in December 2024.

Communication data demonstrated Mrs Spragg had contacted through WhatsApp to Mrs McCann to state the media had characterized Ms Wandelt as "mentally unstable" but that she should be considered genuine in the months before the visit to Rothley, the county, in that winter.

The court was told correspondence between the two accused, in that autumn, considering endeavoring to obtain Mrs McCann's DNA samples from her bins or from silverware at a eating establishment.

"We must take action," the co-defendant advised Ms Wandelt.

On the night of the trip to their residence, the defendant sent a communication which expressed: "We are positioned near the McCanns' house with our vehicle dark similar to investigators. I desired to achieve this with someone else I never thought I would be doing that with the McCanns."

The case continues.
