Overview
- Forensic scientist Rosalind Hammond told Leicester Crown Court that DNA profiles show Wandelt is not Madeleine McCann and not biologically related to Kate or Gerry McCann.
- Audio of Wandelt’s police interview was played in court, with many responses recorded as “no comment” before she pleaded for “a fricking DNA test.”
- Prosecutors presented voicemails and texts allegedly sent to Kate McCann, including messages insisting “What if I’m her?” and addressing her as “Mum.”
- Co-defendant Karen Spragg is accused of supporting Wandelt’s claims, visiting the McCanns’ home, sending messages at Wandelt’s request, and telling police she believed the parents arranged a kidnapping.
- Wandelt was arrested in February after arriving at Bristol Airport, the alleged stalking spans June 2022 to February 2025, and both defendants deny the charge as the trial continues.
