Accused Stalker Questioned: 'But Suppose I Might Be Madeleine?'
A woman indicted with harassing Kate McCann apparently deposited her a phone message which asked: "what if I am Madeleine?"
The defendant, 24, who court testimony revealed has repeatedly claimed she was the missing Madeleine McCann, and her co-defendant are on trial charged with harassing Kate and Gerry McCann from June 2022 and February the current year.
On Monday, the court heard call records and data obtained from phones logged Ms Wandelt consistently asking Madeleine's mother for a DNA test over 2023 and 2024.
Madeleine's vanishing in 2007 - when she was three years old during a family holiday in Portugal - is one of the most widely reported missing child cases and is still open.
'I Don't Want Money'
Another voicemail, presented in court, captured Ms Wandelt saying: "I realize I'm overweight and plain like Madeleine used to be, but I know what I feel."
While a separate message of Ms Wandelt's monologues with Mrs McCann's answerphone said: "What if there is a slight possibility that I am she? What happens next? Wouldn't that be important for you?"
"I don't want money, I possess a life here in Poland, I only wish to know," the message continued.
The jury was advised that through electronic messages, SMS messages and calls, Ms Wandelt requested a genetic test, forwarded early photographs to her phone in a attempt to show a resemblance to Mrs McCann's disappeared daughter, and asserted to have "memories" from a early life with the McCanns.
The investigator, a data specialist with Leicestershire Police who compiled the data, advised the court there "showed no any replies" from Mrs McCann.
Ms Wandelt furthermore reached out to acquaintances of the McCanns, based on the communication logs.
On 9 October 2024, Mr McCann responded to a communication from Ms Wandelt to his wife's phone, stating she had "the wrong phone."
That day Ms Wandelt recorded a recording on Mrs McCann's recording declaring "I won't give up and I intend to demonstrate my point."
The court heard the co-defendant established a association through digital means with Ms Wandelt before assisting her on a appearance to the McCanns' property in Leicestershire in December 2024.
Phone records demonstrated Mrs Spragg had reached out using WhatsApp to Mrs McCann to say the media had portrayed Ms Wandelt as "emotionally disturbed" but that she ought to be taken seriously in the months leading up to the appearance to that location, that area, in that winter.
The court was told correspondence between the two accused, in last November, discussing trying to acquire Mrs McCann's genetic material from her trash or from silverware at a restaurant.
"We must assert ourselves," the co-defendant told Ms Wandelt.
On the night of the appearance to their residence, the defendant dispatched a communication which stated: "We are sitting adjacent to the McCanns' house with our vehicle dark resembling private investigators. I desired to accomplish this with someone else I didn't imagine I would be engaged in this with the McCanns."
The case proceeds.
