Accused Harasser Asked: 'However Suppose I Could Be Madeleine?'
A woman accused with harassing Kate McCann reportedly recorded her a voicemail message which questioned: "suppose I am Madeleine?"
The defendant, 24, who witnesses stated has persistently declared she was the missing Madeleine McCann, and her co-defendant are facing charges charged with stalking Kate and Gerry McCann from June 2022 and February the current year.
On Monday, Leicester Crown Court was told communication data and evidence retrieved from phones documented Ms Wandelt persistently requesting Madeleine's mother for a biological test over the past two years.
Madeleine's vanishing in 2007 - at the age of three during a family holiday in Portugal - is considered the most covered investigations and remains unsolved.
'I Don't Want Money'
Another voicemail, played in court, captured Ms Wandelt saying: "I know I'm fat and unattractive like Madeleine used to be, but I feel what I believe."
While one recording of Ms Wandelt's recordings with Mrs McCann's voicemail stated: "What if there is a tiny probability that I am Madeleine? What then? Isn't that important for you?"
"I don't want money, I have a existence here in Poland, I only wish to know," she added.
The panel was told that via emails, mobile messages and phone calls, Ms Wandelt demanded a DNA test, sent youth pictures to her phone in a attempt to demonstrate a likeness to Mrs McCann's missing daughter, and asserted to have "recollections" from a youth with the McCanns.
The investigator, an investigator with the police force who compiled the evidence, told the court there "didn't appear to be any responses" from Mrs McCann.
Ms Wandelt furthermore contacted close associates of the McCanns, according to the call data.
On October 9th, 2024, the father answered a call from Ms Wandelt to his wife's phone, declaring she had "a wrong number."
On that occasion Ms Wandelt left a recording on Mrs McCann's answerphone stating "I will continue and I intend to demonstrate my point."
The court was informed Mrs Spragg struck up a connection online with Ms Wandelt preceding assisting her on a trip to the McCanns' property in the county in last December.
Phone records showed Mrs Spragg had contacted via messaging service to Mrs McCann to say the news outlets had depicted Ms Wandelt as "a crazy person" but that she should be taken seriously in the time preceding the appearance to the village, that area, in last December.
The court was told correspondence between the two accused, in that autumn, considering attempting to obtain Mrs McCann's biological evidence from her trash or from utensils at a eating establishment.
"We must make a stand," Mrs Spragg informed Ms Wandelt.
On the evening of the appearance to their home, the defendant transmitted a communication which said: "We are sat outside the McCanns' residence with our headlights off resembling private investigators. I wanted to achieve this with someone else I never thought I would be engaged in this with the McCanns."
The case continues.
