'I Do Not Need Money'
One phone message, shared in court, recorded Ms Wandelt stating: "I realize I'm fat and plain like Madeleine had been, but I know what I feel."
While another instance of Ms Wandelt's monologues with Mrs McCann's voicemail expressed: "Imagine there is a small chance that I am she? What then? Is that not crucial for you?"
"I do not need money, I maintain a living here in Poland, I simply desire to discover," the message continued.

"We need to assert ourselves," the co-defendant informed Ms Wandelt.
On the evening of the trip to their house, Mrs Spragg sent a text which expressed: "We're currently sat outside the McCanns' home with our lights out resembling private investigators. I desired to do this with another person I didn't imagine I would be engaged in this with the McCanns."
