Julia Wandelt, twenty-four, who a jury heard has consistently claimed she was the disappeared Madeleine McCann, and her co-defendant are on trial indicted with harassing Kate and Gerry McCann between June 2022 and February the current year.

On Monday, the court heard phone records and information recovered from phones recorded Ms Wandelt persistently demanding Madeleine's mother for a biological test during 2023 and 2024.

'I Don't Want Money'

One voicemail, played in court, captured Ms Wandelt declaring: "I understand I'm heavy and unattractive like Madeleine used to be, but I believe what I know."

While a separate message of Ms Wandelt's one-way conversations with Mrs McCann's voicemail expressed: "What if there is a small chance that I'm her? What then? Is that not crucial for you?"

"I don't want money, I have a existence here in Poland, I only wish to understand," the recording stated.

The panel was told that via electronic messages, mobile messages and phone calls, Ms Wandelt requested a genetic test, sent childhood photos to her phone in a attempt to demonstrate a similarity to Mrs McCann's disappeared daughter, and stated to have "flashbacks" from a early life with the McCanns.

On the evening of the trip to their home, Mrs Spragg dispatched a message which expressed: "We find ourselves sat adjacent to the McCanns' residence with our headlights off like investigators. I had hoped to accomplish this with Peter Andrew I hadn't anticipated I would be engaged in this with the McCanns."

The case proceeds.
