Alleged Stalker Inquired: 'But Suppose I Could Be Madeleine?'
A female indicted with pursuing Kate McCann allegedly deposited her a voicemail message which questioned: "what if I am Madeleine?"
Julia Wandelt, twenty-four, who witnesses stated has repeatedly declared she was the missing Madeleine McCann, and her co-defendant are standing trial accused with pursuing Kate and Gerry McCann between June 2022 and February the current year.
On Monday, the court learned call records and information obtained from phones recorded Ms Wandelt repeatedly demanding Madeleine's mother for a genetic test throughout that period.
Madeleine's disappearance in 2007 - as a three-year-old during a trip in Portugal - is among the most covered investigations and is still open.
'I Do Not Need Money'
Another phone message, presented in court, documented Ms Wandelt saying: "I know I'm heavy and plain like Madeleine had been, but I feel what I believe."
While one recording of Ms Wandelt's one-way conversations with Mrs McCann's voicemail stated: "What if there is a tiny probability that I'm her? What happens next? Wouldn't that be crucial for you?"
"I don't want money, I have a life here in Poland, I only wish to understand," the message continued.
The tribunal was advised that through electronic messages, mobile messages and calls, Ms Wandelt requested a biological test, transmitted youth pictures to her phone in a effort to demonstrate a similarity to Mrs McCann's missing daughter, and stated to have "memories" from a early life with the McCanns.
Robert Jones, an intelligence analyst with the police force who gathered the evidence, informed the court there "showed no any replies" from Mrs McCann.
Ms Wandelt also contacted acquaintances of the McCanns, as per the communication logs.
On October 9th, 2024, the father answered a call from Ms Wandelt to his wife's phone, stating she had "the wrong phone."
That day Ms Wandelt recorded a voicemail on Mrs McCann's answerphone declaring "I will continue and I will prove my point."
The court heard the co-defendant struck up a association via internet with Ms Wandelt before accompanying her on a appearance to the McCanns' home in the county in that winter.
Phone records showed Mrs Spragg had contacted via messaging service to Mrs McCann to express the media had depicted Ms Wandelt as "mentally unstable" but that she should be considered genuine in the period before the visit to Rothley, Leicestershire, in that winter.
The court was told communications between the two individuals, in November 2024, planning endeavoring to acquire Mrs McCann's DNA samples from her trash or from utensils at a dining venue.
"We must assert ourselves," Mrs Spragg advised Ms Wandelt.
On the night of the trip to their residence, the defendant sent a message which expressed: "We are positioned outside the McCanns' home with our vehicle dark resembling detectives. I had hoped to accomplish this with someone else I hadn't anticipated I would be involved in this with the McCanns."
The proceedings ongoing.
