Alleged Stalker Questioned: 'However Suppose I Might Be Madeleine?'
A woman indicted with pursuing Kate McCann allegedly recorded her a voicemail message which posed: "suppose I am Madeleine?"
The defendant, 24, who witnesses stated has repeatedly declared she was the missing Madeleine McCann, and Karen Spragg are facing charges charged with stalking Kate and Gerry McCann from June 2022 and February this year.
On Monday, the court learned phone records and information recovered from phones logged Ms Wandelt persistently demanding Madeleine's mother for a DNA test throughout that period.
Madeleine's disappearance in 2007 - at the age of three during a trip in Portugal - is considered the most publicized missing child cases and remains unresolved.
'I Don't Want Money'
One voicemail, shared in court, recorded Ms Wandelt stating: "I realize I'm fat and unattractive like Madeleine was, but I believe what I know."
While another instance of Ms Wandelt's recordings with Mrs McCann's recording expressed: "Suppose there is a tiny probability that I am she? Then what? Isn't that important for you?"
"I am not seeking money, I possess a life here in Poland, I simply desire to discover," the message continued.
The jury was told that via electronic messages, mobile messages and communications, Ms Wandelt asked for a genetic test, sent early photographs to her phone in a attempt to display a similarity to Mrs McCann's missing daughter, and claimed to have "flashbacks" from a early life with the McCanns.
An intelligence analyst, an intelligence analyst with Leicestershire Police who collated the evidence, informed the court there "didn't appear to be any answers" from Mrs McCann.
Ms Wandelt additionally contacted close associates of the McCanns, according to the call data.
On that date, the father responded to a communication from Ms Wandelt to his wife's phone, stating she had "a wrong number."
During that incident Ms Wandelt recorded a recording on Mrs McCann's recording declaring "I will persist and I will prove my claim."
The court heard Mrs Spragg developed a relationship online with Ms Wandelt preceding accompanying her on a visit to the McCanns' residence in that area in last December.
Communication data revealed Mrs Spragg had communicated through communication app to Mrs McCann to say the media had depicted Ms Wandelt as "a crazy person" but that she should be considered genuine in the period before the trip to that location, that area, in that winter.
The court heard message exchanges between the two individuals, in last November, considering attempting to get Mrs McCann's biological evidence from her garbage or from silverware at a dining venue.
"We need to make a stand," Mrs Spragg informed Ms Wandelt.
On the night of the trip to their house, Mrs Spragg dispatched a message which expressed: "We're currently positioned outside the McCanns' residence with our vehicle dark like investigators. I desired to accomplish this with another person I never thought I would be involved in this with the McCanns."
The proceedings proceeds.
