In a disturbing case involving a woman asserting she is the missing Madeleine McCann, accusations of stalking have emerged. This situation has drawn significant attention, especially given the ongoing investigations surrounding Madeleine’s disappearance.
Allegations Against Ms. Wandelt
Jana Wandelt, a resident of Lubin, Poland, is alleged to have harassed the McCann family. Her claims began with a belief that she could be their long-lost daughter. This notion prompted her to reach out to the couple, Kate and Gerry McCann, multiple times.
Communication Attempts
- In June 2023, Wandelt attempted to contact the McCanns’ workplace.
- She called the NHS trust’s switchboard, resulting in a notification to Operation Grange.
- Wandelt sent emails directly to the McCanns, stating, “I could be your daughter, it’s possible I’m her.”
Despite her assertions, the McCanns did not respond to Wandelt’s messages. Nevertheless, this lack of communication did not deter her from reaching out further.
Social Media and Continued Harassment
Wandelt allegedly escalated her attempts by contacting Amelie McCann, Madeleine’s younger sister, through social media. She presented altered images to suggest a familial connection and claimed to possess memories of events prior to Madeleine’s abduction.
Throughout 2024, Wandelt reportedly sent a series of messages to Kate McCann’s phone. These messages included disturbing references to personal memories, such as:
- Recollection of being fed by Kate McCann.
- Descriptions of playing in the garden of their home in Rothley, Leicestershire.
- Vivid memories from the night Madeleine disappeared.
In one instance, Wandelt claimed that Kate had visited her room before the abduction and expressed affection. This series of messages has raised serious concerns regarding her mental state and intentions.
Current Status of the Trial
The legal proceedings against Ms. Wandelt and another individual, Ms. Spragg, remain ongoing. The case continues to unfold as more details emerge regarding the allegations of stalking the McCann family.
This situation highlights the complex emotions surrounding the case of Madeleine McCann, a story that continues to evoke strong reactions from the public and media alike.
