A woman accused with harassing Kate McCann apparently left her a phone message which asked: "suppose I am Madeleine?"

The defendant, 24, who witnesses stated has consistently asserted she was the missing Madeleine McCann, and her co-defendant are standing trial indicted with pursuing Kate and Gerry McCann from June 2022 and February 2025.

On Monday, the court learned call records and data retrieved from phones recorded Ms Wandelt consistently requesting Madeleine's mother for a genetic test during that period.

Madeleine's disappearance in 2007 - when she was three years old during a trip in Portugal - is one of the most publicized missing child cases and continues to be unsolved.

'I Do Not Need Money'

Another voicemail, shared in court, documented Ms Wandelt saying: "I understand I'm fat and plain like Madeleine was, but I feel what I believe."

While a separate message of Ms Wandelt's recordings with Mrs McCann's answerphone stated: "Imagine there is a tiny probability that I am Madeleine? Then what? Isn't that crucial for you?"

"I do not need money, I possess a existence here in Poland, I only wish to understand," the recording stated.

The jury was advised that by means of electronic messages, SMS messages and communications, Ms Wandelt asked for a biological test, sent childhood photos to her phone in a effort to show a resemblance to Mrs McCann's disappeared daughter, and stated to have "memories" from a early life with the McCanns.

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

Ms Wandelt also reached out to acquaintances of the McCanns, as per the phone records.

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

On that occasion Ms Wandelt left a voicemail on Mrs McCann's answerphone saying "I will persist and I intend to demonstrate my point."

The court learned the co-defendant established a connection through digital means with Ms Wandelt before joining her on a appearance to the McCanns' home in that area in December 2024.

Communication data showed Mrs Spragg had communicated using communication app to Mrs McCann to express the press had portrayed Ms Wandelt as "a crazy person" but that she should be taken seriously in the period before the appearance to Rothley, the county, in December 2024.

The court learned message exchanges between the two individuals, in last November, planning endeavoring to get Mrs McCann's DNA samples from her bins or from silverware at a dining venue.

"We must take action," Mrs Spragg told Ms Wandelt.

On the occasion of the appearance to their residence, Mrs Spragg sent a communication which said: "We are sitting outside the McCanns' house with our headlights off like detectives. I desired to accomplish this with Peter Andrew I hadn't anticipated I would be involved in this with the McCanns."

The trial ongoing.
