Alleged Stalker Inquired: 'Yet Suppose I Could Be Madeleine?'
A individual charged with stalking Kate McCann reportedly recorded her a phone message which posed: "what if I am Madeleine?"
Julia Wandelt, twenty-four, who witnesses stated has persistently declared she was the disappeared Madeleine McCann, and her co-defendant are facing charges accused with stalking Kate and Gerry McCann between June 2022 and February this year.
On Monday, the tribunal heard communication data and information obtained from phones documented Ms Wandelt persistently requesting Madeleine's mother for a biological test over 2023 and 2024.
Madeleine's case in 2007 - as a three-year-old during a family holiday in Portugal - is among the most widely reported missing child cases and continues to be unresolved.
'I Do Not Need Money'
One phone message, played in court, recorded Ms Wandelt saying: "I understand I'm heavy and plain like Madeleine had been, but I know what I know."
While one recording of Ms Wandelt's recordings with Mrs McCann's answerphone stated: "Suppose there is a tiny probability that I'm her? What then? Wouldn't that be crucial for you?"
"I am not seeking money, I have a existence here in Poland, I just want to understand," the recording stated.
The tribunal was told that by means of electronic messages, SMS messages and calls, Ms Wandelt requested a DNA test, forwarded youth pictures to her phone in a attempt to show a similarity to Mrs McCann's disappeared daughter, and asserted to have "recollections" from a early life with the McCanns.
Robert Jones, an intelligence analyst with the police force who collated the evidence, told the court there "showed no any replies" from Mrs McCann.
Ms Wandelt additionally contacted close associates of the McCanns, as per the call data.
On that date, the father answered a call from Ms Wandelt to his wife's phone, declaring she had "incorrect contact information."
That day Ms Wandelt deposited a recording on Mrs McCann's recording saying "I will continue and I plan to establish my claim."
The court learned Mrs Spragg developed a association online with Ms Wandelt preceding accompanying her on a appearance to the McCanns' property in Leicestershire in last December.
Communication data revealed Mrs Spragg had contacted using communication app to Mrs McCann to express the press had depicted Ms Wandelt as "a crazy person" but that she should be taken seriously in the time before the appearance to Rothley, the county, in that winter.
The court heard message exchanges between the two defendants, in last November, planning attempting to obtain Mrs McCann's biological evidence from her bins or from silverware at a restaurant.
"We must take action," the co-defendant informed 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 headlights off like private investigators. I wanted to accomplish this with another person I didn't imagine I would be doing that with the McCanns."
The proceedings continues.
