A woman charged with harassing Kate McCann apparently deposited her a voicemail message which questioned: "what if I am Madeleine?"

The defendant, 24, who court testimony revealed has consistently declared she was the missing Madeleine McCann, and her co-defendant are standing trial indicted with harassing Kate and Gerry McCann between June 2022 and February the current year.

On Monday, the court was told call records and information recovered from phones recorded Ms Wandelt consistently demanding Madeleine's mother for a DNA test during the past two years.

Madeleine's case in 2007 - as a three-year-old during a trip in Portugal - is one of the most covered missing child cases and continues to be unsolved.

'I Don't Want Money'

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

While a separate message of Ms Wandelt's monologues with Mrs McCann's voicemail expressed: "Imagine there is a small chance that I am she? What then? Wouldn't that be significant for you?"

"I do not need money, I possess a life here in Poland, I just want to understand," the recording stated.

The panel was advised that by means of electronic messages, text messages and phone calls, Ms Wandelt asked for a DNA test, transmitted childhood photos to her phone in a bid to show a likeness to Mrs McCann's missing daughter, and asserted to have "flashbacks" from a childhood with the McCanns.

An intelligence analyst, an intelligence analyst with law enforcement who gathered the evidence, told the court there "seemed to lack any replies" from Mrs McCann.

Ms Wandelt furthermore reached out to close associates of the McCanns, according to the communication logs.

On October 9th, 2024, Mr McCann picked up a phone call from Ms Wandelt to his wife's phone, stating she had "incorrect contact information."

During that incident Ms Wandelt left a recording on Mrs McCann's voicemail declaring "I won't give up and I plan to establish my point."

The court heard the co-defendant established a association online with Ms Wandelt before assisting her on a visit to the McCanns' home in that area in December 2024.

Call logs revealed Mrs Spragg had contacted through messaging service to Mrs McCann to say the press had portrayed Ms Wandelt as "emotionally disturbed" but that she ought to be treated respectfully in the period preceding the visit to Rothley, the county, in last December.

The court learned communications between the two accused, in last November, discussing endeavoring to acquire Mrs McCann's genetic material from her trash or from utensils at a restaurant.

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

On the occasion of the appearance to their home, Mrs Spragg transmitted a text which expressed: "We're currently sat outside the McCanns' house with our headlights off resembling investigators. I had hoped to achieve this with another person I hadn't anticipated I would be engaged in this with the McCanns."

The trial continues.
