Amelie McCann, sister of missing Madeleine McCann, has finally spoken out about alleged stalker messages sent to her. During a court session, Amelie recounted receiving numerous messages from Polish national Julia Wandelt, who claimed to be her long-lost sister, Madeleine. Wandelt, along with co-accused Karen Spragg, faces trial at Leicester Crown Court on charges of causing serious distress to the McCann family.
In a calm yet firm testimony given via video link, Amelie described how Wandelt sent her messages on various social media platforms, painting a picture of desperation and claiming to have memories of the McCann family home. Amelie admitted that initially, she didn’t realise the seriousness of the situation and tried to protect her parents by handling it herself. But the messages became increasingly distressing, leading Amelie to block Wandelt on most platforms.
She said the situation had a significant emotional impact on her mother, Kate McCann, who struggled with the constant contact. The family even installed a panic alarm in their home due to safety concerns. Despite the ordeal, Amelie was clear in her conviction—Wandelt is not Madeleine. The trial continues, shedding light on the lengths some will go to in this heartbreaking saga. Stay tuned as the family courageously confronts these unwelcome shadows from their past.
