A woman indicted with pursuing Kate McCann reportedly left her a recorded message which asked: "suppose I am Madeleine?"

Julia Wandelt, 24, who court testimony revealed has persistently declared she was the vanished Madeleine McCann, and her co-defendant are facing charges indicted with stalking Kate and Gerry McCann from June 2022 and February this year.

On Monday, the tribunal learned call records and information recovered from phones logged Ms Wandelt persistently demanding Madeleine's mother for a DNA test over the past two years.

Madeleine's case in 2007 - as a three-year-old during a family holiday in Portugal - is one of the most covered missing child cases and remains unsolved.

'I Don't Want Money'

One phone message, shared in court, captured Ms Wandelt declaring: "I understand I'm overweight and not pretty like Madeleine had been, but I believe what I know."

While another instance of Ms Wandelt's one-way conversations with Mrs McCann's recording expressed: "Imagine there is a tiny probability that I am Madeleine? What happens next? Is that not important for you?"

"I don't want money, I maintain a existence here in Poland, I only wish to discover," the message continued.

The jury was advised that through emails, SMS messages and communications, Ms Wandelt requested a genetic test, sent youth pictures to her phone in a bid to show a similarity to Mrs McCann's disappeared daughter, and asserted to have "flashbacks" from a youth with the McCanns.

An intelligence analyst, an intelligence analyst with the police force who compiled the evidence, advised the court there "showed no any answers" from Mrs McCann.

Ms Wandelt furthermore reached out to acquaintances of the McCanns, according to the call data.

On that date, the father answered a phone call from Ms Wandelt to his wife's phone, stating she had "incorrect contact information."

That day Ms Wandelt deposited a recording on Mrs McCann's voicemail saying "I will persist and I plan to establish my point."

The court learned the co-defendant struck up a relationship through digital means with Ms Wandelt prior to assisting her on a appearance to the McCanns' residence in that area in that winter.

Communication data revealed Mrs Spragg had contacted using messaging service to Mrs McCann to say the news outlets had portrayed Ms Wandelt as "a crazy person" but that she deserved to be taken seriously in the months before the trip to the village, that area, in that winter.

The court learned communications between the two accused, in last November, planning trying to obtain Mrs McCann's biological evidence from her bins or from silverware at a eating establishment.

"We have to take action," the co-defendant advised Ms Wandelt.

On the evening of the appearance to their home, Mrs Spragg dispatched a message which expressed: "We find ourselves positioned near the McCanns' home with our vehicle dark resembling investigators. I wanted to accomplish this with another person I never thought I would be involved in this with the McCanns."

The proceedings continues.
