Accused Harasser Asked: 'However What If I Am Madeleine?'

A woman charged with harassing Kate McCann reportedly recorded her a voicemail message which posed: "suppose I am Madeleine?"

Julia Wandelt, 24, who court testimony revealed has consistently 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 2025.

On Monday, Leicester Crown Court heard call records and information recovered from phones recorded Ms Wandelt consistently requesting Madeleine's mother for a DNA test throughout that period.

Madeleine's disappearance in 2007 - as a three-year-old during a vacation in Portugal - is one of the most covered investigations and is still unsolved.

'I Don't Want Money'

A separate phone message, shared in court, captured Ms Wandelt declaring: "I realize I'm heavy and unattractive like Madeleine had been, but I believe what I feel."

While a separate message of Ms Wandelt's monologues with Mrs McCann's voicemail said: "Imagine there is a small chance that I am she? Then what? Isn't that important for you?"

"I don't want money, I possess a living here in Poland, I simply desire to understand," the message continued.

The panel was informed that through emails, mobile messages and phone calls, Ms Wandelt demanded a biological test, sent youth pictures to her phone in a attempt to show a likeness to Mrs McCann's vanished daughter, and asserted to have "memories" from a childhood with the McCanns.

An intelligence analyst, a data specialist with Leicestershire Police who collated the information, advised the court there "didn't appear to be any responses" from Mrs McCann.

Ms Wandelt additionally communicated with close associates of the McCanns, as per the call data.

On October 9th, 2024, the father answered a communication from Ms Wandelt to his wife's phone, declaring she had "incorrect contact information."

That day Ms Wandelt recorded a voicemail on Mrs McCann's voicemail declaring "I will continue and I intend to demonstrate my point."

The court learned Mrs Spragg struck up a relationship through digital means with Ms Wandelt prior to accompanying her on a trip to the McCanns' home in that area in last December.

Phone records demonstrated Mrs Spragg had contacted using communication app to Mrs McCann to express the news outlets had characterized Ms Wandelt as "emotionally disturbed" but that she should be treated respectfully in the period leading up to the visit to the village, that area, in last December.

The court learned message exchanges between the two individuals, in that autumn, planning attempting to obtain Mrs McCann's biological evidence from her garbage or from utensils at a dining venue.

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

On the evening of the appearance to their house, Mrs Spragg transmitted a message which said: "We are sitting outside the McCanns' residence with our vehicle dark similar to investigators. I wanted to achieve this with someone else I hadn't anticipated I would be engaged in this with the McCanns."

The trial ongoing.
