A WOMAN accused of stalking the mother of missing Madeleine McCann left a voicemail saying “she’s not dead”, a court heard yesterday.
Julia Wandelt, who claims she is Madeleine, is said to have bombarded Kate and Gerry McCann with calls, letters and messages over almost three years.

Leicester crown court was played clips she left after she got the family’s phone number from Portuguese police records.
In one, Polish national Wandelt, 24, tells Kate: “I know you probably think Madeleine is dead, but she is not. I am her.”
Prosecutors say she was also joined by “supporter” Karen Spragg, 61, of Cardiff.
Both deny stalking.
Earlier in the week, The Sun revealed that Julia confronted mum Kate at home and demanded a DNA test.
Leicester crown court heard cardiologist Gerry then returned – and was also angrily challenged by Wandelt and Spragg, before Wandelt tried to force a letter into his hand.
The pair eventually left – but the following day, the hand-written note was posted through the McCanns’ door, addressed ‘Dear Mum (Kate)’.
Michael Duck KC, prosecuting, added it read: “I think that inside your heart you believe and know who I am. I am your daughter… I believe and I hope that you will find a way to contact me.”
The trial continues.
Madeleine, three, vanished in Praia Da Luz, Portugal, in May 2007.
