A female charged with harassing Kate McCann allegedly left her a voicemail message which questioned: "suppose I am Madeleine?"

Julia Wandelt, 24, who court testimony revealed has repeatedly claimed she was the missing Madeleine McCann, and her co-defendant are facing charges charged with harassing Kate and Gerry McCann between June 2022 and February the current year.

On Monday, the tribunal heard call records and evidence retrieved from phones recorded Ms Wandelt repeatedly requesting Madeleine's mother for a biological test throughout the past two years.

Madeleine's disappearance in 2007 - as a three-year-old during a trip in Portugal - is considered the most publicized child disappearance cases and is still unresolved.

'I Do Not Need Money'

A separate voicemail, played in court, recorded Ms Wandelt stating: "I know I'm heavy and unattractive like Madeleine was, but I know what I feel."

While one recording of Ms Wandelt's recordings with Mrs McCann's voicemail expressed: "Imagine there is a small chance that I'm her? What happens next? Isn't that significant for you?"

"I don't want money, I possess a living here in Poland, I just want to know," the message continued.

The jury was told that through electronic messages, mobile messages and calls, Ms Wandelt demanded a biological test, sent early photographs to her phone in a bid to demonstrate a resemblance to Mrs McCann's missing daughter, and stated to have "recollections" from a youth with the McCanns.

An intelligence analyst, an investigator with the police force who compiled the information, told the court there "seemed to lack any replies" from Mrs McCann.

Ms Wandelt furthermore communicated with family friends of the McCanns, according to the communication logs.

On 9 October 2024, the father answered a call from Ms Wandelt to his wife's phone, saying she had "the wrong phone."

During that incident Ms Wandelt left a message on Mrs McCann's recording stating "I will continue and I intend to demonstrate my claim."

The court was informed Mrs Spragg developed a connection online with Ms Wandelt preceding joining her on a trip to the McCanns' home in the county in that winter.

Call logs revealed Mrs Spragg had communicated using messaging service to Mrs McCann to state the press had characterized Ms Wandelt as "a crazy person" but that she ought to be taken seriously in the months before the trip to the village, that area, in December 2024.

The court was told message exchanges between the two defendants, in last November, planning endeavoring to acquire Mrs McCann's DNA samples from her bins or from silverware at a eating establishment.

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

On the evening of the appearance to their residence, the defendant sent a text which expressed: "We are sitting adjacent to the McCanns' home with our vehicle dark like detectives. I had hoped to do this with another person I never thought I would be doing that with the McCanns."

The trial ongoing.
