A individual indicted with pursuing Kate McCann apparently left her a voicemail message which questioned: "what if I am Madeleine?"

Julia Wandelt, 24, who a jury heard has persistently declared she was the disappeared Madeleine McCann, and Karen Spragg are on trial accused with stalking Kate and Gerry McCann between June 2022 and February this year.

On Monday, the court learned communication data and evidence recovered from phones documented Ms Wandelt repeatedly requesting Madeleine's mother for a DNA test during the past two years.

Madeleine's disappearance in 2007 - when she was three years old during a trip in Portugal - is considered the most widely reported missing child cases and continues to be open.

'I Am Not Seeking Money'

A separate recorded message, presented in court, documented Ms Wandelt declaring: "I know I'm heavy and plain like Madeleine was, but I believe what I know."

While another instance of Ms Wandelt's one-way conversations with Mrs McCann's answerphone expressed: "Imagine there is a slight possibility that I am Madeleine? What then? Is that not crucial for you?"

"I don't want money, I possess a life here in Poland, I only wish to understand," she added.

The tribunal was advised that via emails, SMS messages and calls, Ms Wandelt requested a genetic test, transmitted youth pictures to her phone in a attempt to demonstrate a likeness to Mrs McCann's missing daughter, and claimed to have "memories" from a youth with the McCanns.

An intelligence analyst, an investigator with law enforcement who gathered the data, advised the court there "didn't appear to be any responses" from Mrs McCann.

Ms Wandelt furthermore contacted close associates of the McCanns, based on the call data.

On that date, the father responded to a call from Ms Wandelt to his wife's phone, declaring she had "a wrong number."

During that incident Ms Wandelt recorded a message on Mrs McCann's answerphone declaring "I will persist and I plan to establish my claim."

The court was informed the co-defendant developed a relationship online with Ms Wandelt prior to assisting her on a visit to the McCanns' property in that area in that winter.

Communication data demonstrated Mrs Spragg had communicated via communication app to Mrs McCann to say the news outlets had depicted Ms Wandelt as "mentally unstable" but that she ought to be taken seriously in the period leading up to the appearance to Rothley, that area, in that winter.

The court learned communications between the two defendants, in that autumn, planning trying to obtain Mrs McCann's biological evidence from her trash or from utensils at a dining venue.

"We must make a stand," Mrs Spragg told Ms Wandelt.

On the night of the trip to their house, Mrs Spragg sent a communication which said: "We are sitting adjacent to the McCanns' home with our headlights off like detectives. I wanted to do this with another person I never thought I would be doing that with the McCanns."

The case continues.
