A female indicted with harassing Kate McCann reportedly deposited her a voicemail message which posed: "what if I am Madeleine?"

The defendant, twenty-four, who court testimony revealed has repeatedly declared she was the missing Madeleine McCann, and Karen Spragg are facing charges indicted with harassing Kate and Gerry McCann between June 2022 and February this year.

On Monday, the tribunal learned phone records and evidence obtained from phones logged Ms Wandelt repeatedly demanding Madeleine's mother for a biological test during the past two years.

Madeleine's disappearance in 2007 - as a three-year-old during a family holiday in Portugal - is among the most widely reported child disappearance cases and continues to be unresolved.

'I Don't Want Money'

One recorded message, played in court, documented Ms Wandelt saying: "I realize I'm fat and unattractive like Madeleine was, but I feel what I believe."

While one recording of Ms Wandelt's monologues with Mrs McCann's recording expressed: "Imagine there is a small chance that I'm her? Then what? Isn't that crucial for you?"

"I am not seeking money, I possess a life here in Poland, I only wish to know," she added.

The jury was advised that via emails, mobile messages and communications, Ms Wandelt requested a genetic test, forwarded youth pictures to her phone in a attempt to show a likeness to Mrs McCann's missing daughter, and claimed to have "flashbacks" from a early life with the McCanns.

The investigator, an intelligence analyst with Leicestershire Police who collated the data, told the court there "didn't appear to be any answers" from Mrs McCann.

Ms Wandelt also communicated with acquaintances of the McCanns, as per the communication logs.

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

During that incident Ms Wandelt recorded a voicemail on Mrs McCann's answerphone saying "I won't give up and I plan to establish my position."

The court learned Mrs Spragg developed a relationship through digital means with Ms Wandelt preceding accompanying her on a trip to the McCanns' residence in that area in last December.

Call logs showed Mrs Spragg had contacted through communication app to Mrs McCann to say the media had portrayed Ms Wandelt as "emotionally disturbed" but that she should be treated respectfully in the period preceding the visit to the village, Leicestershire, in December 2024.

The court learned message exchanges between the two individuals, in November 2024, planning endeavoring to obtain Mrs McCann's biological evidence from her garbage or from silverware at a restaurant.

"We must assert ourselves," the co-defendant told Ms Wandelt.

On the night of the trip to their house, the defendant sent a communication which expressed: "We're currently sitting adjacent to the McCanns' house with our vehicle dark like detectives. I wanted to achieve this with Peter Andrew I never thought I would be doing that with the McCanns."

The proceedings continues.
