A woman indicted with stalking Kate McCann reportedly deposited her a phone message which asked: "suppose I am Madeleine?"

Julia Wandelt, twenty-four, who court testimony revealed has persistently asserted she was the missing Madeleine McCann, and Karen Spragg are on trial indicted with pursuing Kate and Gerry McCann from June 2022 and February this year.

On Monday, the court learned phone records and data retrieved from phones documented Ms Wandelt repeatedly asking Madeleine's mother for a biological test over the past two years.

Madeleine's disappearance in 2007 - as a three-year-old during a vacation in Portugal - is one of the most covered investigations and remains unresolved.

'I Am Not Seeking Money'

One recorded message, presented in court, documented Ms Wandelt saying: "I realize I'm fat and unattractive like Madeleine was, but I believe what I feel."

While a separate message of Ms Wandelt's monologues with Mrs McCann's voicemail said: "Suppose there is a small chance that I'm her? What then? Wouldn't that be significant for you?"

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

The jury was advised that via electronic messages, text messages and phone calls, Ms Wandelt requested a DNA test, sent early photographs to her phone in a effort to display a resemblance to Mrs McCann's vanished daughter, and claimed to have "recollections" from a childhood with the McCanns.

An intelligence analyst, an investigator with law enforcement who compiled the data, advised the court there "seemed to lack any replies" from Mrs McCann.

Ms Wandelt also contacted acquaintances of the McCanns, as per the communication logs.

On that date, Mr McCann picked up a communication from Ms Wandelt to his wife's phone, declaring she had "incorrect contact information."

That day Ms Wandelt deposited a message on Mrs McCann's voicemail stating "I won't give up and I plan to establish my point."

The court was informed the co-defendant struck up a connection via internet with Ms Wandelt before joining her on a trip to the McCanns' property in the county in that winter.

Call logs showed Mrs Spragg had communicated using messaging service to Mrs McCann to express the press had portrayed Ms Wandelt as "emotionally disturbed" but that she deserved to be treated respectfully in the months preceding the appearance to that location, the county, in that winter.

The court heard communications between the two individuals, in last November, discussing attempting to get Mrs McCann's DNA samples from her garbage or from silverware at a eating establishment.

"We have to make a stand," the co-defendant advised Ms Wandelt.

On the evening of the visit to their residence, Mrs Spragg transmitted a message which expressed: "We find ourselves sat adjacent to the McCanns' home with our vehicle dark resembling private investigators. I wanted to do this with someone else I didn't imagine I would be engaged in this with the McCanns."

The trial proceeds.
