A individual indicted with stalking Kate McCann reportedly deposited her a phone message which questioned: "imagine I am Madeleine?"
Julia Wandelt, twenty-four, who a jury heard has consistently claimed she was the disappeared Madeleine McCann, and Karen Spragg are on trial indicted with stalking Kate and Gerry McCann between June 2022 and February this year.
On Monday, the tribunal was told communication data and data recovered from phones recorded Ms Wandelt consistently demanding Madeleine's mother for a DNA test over that period.
Madeleine's case in 2007 - when she was three years old during a vacation in Portugal - is considered the most widely reported investigations and is still unresolved.
'I Do Not Need Money'
Another phone message, presented in court, recorded Ms Wandelt saying: "I understand I'm overweight and plain like Madeleine had been, but I believe what I feel."
While another instance of Ms Wandelt's monologues with Mrs McCann's voicemail expressed: "Imagine there is a slight possibility that I'm her? What then? Wouldn't that be crucial for you?"
"I am not seeking money, I have a living here in Poland, I only wish to understand," the recording stated.
The panel was informed that by means of emails, text messages and phone calls, Ms Wandelt asked for a genetic test, forwarded early photographs to her phone in a attempt to show a resemblance to Mrs McCann's disappeared daughter, and stated to have "memories" from a youth with the McCanns.
The investigator, an investigator with law enforcement who gathered the information, told the court there "seemed to lack any responses" from Mrs McCann.
Ms Wandelt additionally communicated with acquaintances of the McCanns, according to the communication logs.
On that date, Mr McCann answered a communication from Ms Wandelt to his wife's phone, declaring she had "a wrong number."

"We must assert ourselves," the co-defendant advised Ms Wandelt.
On the night of the appearance to their home, the defendant dispatched a message which expressed: "We are positioned near the McCanns' home with our vehicle dark resembling investigators. I had hoped to accomplish this with someone else I hadn't anticipated I would be involved in this with the McCanns."
