Voicemail Reveals Maddie McCann is Still Alive Claims Her Mother

In a shocking court case in Leicester, a young woman and her companion are facing charges over incidents related to the mother of missing girl Madeleine McCann. Julia Wandelt, 24, and Karen Spragg, 61, are accused of stalking Kate McCann from June 2022 to February 2023.
Voicemail Claims: Maddie McCann is Still Alive
The allegations detail that Wandelt contacted Mrs. McCann multiple times, leaving voicemails in which she claimed to be Madeleine McCann. She demanded a DNA test to prove her assertions. Madeleine disappeared at the age of three while on holiday with her family in Praia da Luz, Portugal, in 2007. This case remains one of the most high-profile missing persons investigations globally.
Disturbing Voicemail Evidence
During the trial, the court listened to several voicemails left by Wandelt. In one notable recording, she stated that her DNA was allegedly a 70% match to Mrs. McCann’s. Wandelt can be heard saying, “You are my mother, it’s science no one can deny it.” In another message, she insisted, “I know you probably think that Madeleine is dead, but she is not.”
Wandelt’s Pleas for Help
Wandelt also expressed her desperation in the voicemails, stating, “What if there is a small chance that I’m her? What then? Isn’t that important for you?” She insisted she was not after financial gain, adding, “I just want to know.” The emotional plea included, “Help me. Don’t think Madeleine is dead. This is a chance. Please, I beg you.”
Unwanted Visits and Distress
The court learned that on one occasion, Wandelt and Spragg visited the McCann home uninvited, which caused significant distress to the family. Kate McCann described the encounter as frightening, saying it occurred at night. She recalled, “She called me mum… pleading with me for a DNA test.” Mrs. McCann attempted to close the door, but Wandelt tried to prevent it from shutting.
