Another voicemail, presented in court, recorded Ms Wandelt declaring: "I know I'm heavy and plain like Madeleine had been, but I believe what I know."

While a separate message of Ms Wandelt's monologues with Mrs McCann's answerphone said: "What if there is a tiny probability that I'm her? Then what? Isn't that important for you?"

"I do not need money, I maintain a life here in Poland, I just want to discover," the recording stated.

The tribunal was told that by means of electronic messages, SMS messages and calls, Ms Wandelt demanded a biological test, forwarded youth pictures to her phone in a bid to demonstrate a similarity to Mrs McCann's vanished daughter, and asserted to have "recollections" from a youth with the McCanns.

Phone records demonstrated Mrs Spragg had contacted through messaging service to Mrs McCann to state the media had portrayed Ms Wandelt as "emotionally disturbed" but that she ought to be treated respectfully in the time preceding the visit to Rothley, that area, in last December.

The court learned correspondence between the two defendants, in that autumn, discussing endeavoring to get Mrs McCann's genetic material from her trash or from cutlery at a eating establishment.

"We have to assert ourselves," Mrs Spragg advised Ms Wandelt.

On the evening of the appearance to their residence, the defendant transmitted a text which expressed: "We are sitting near the McCanns' house with our vehicle dark like private investigators. I had hoped to do this with someone else I hadn't anticipated I would be engaged in this with the McCanns."

The trial continues.
