A woman on trial for allegedly stalking the parents of Madeleine McCann claiming to be their missing daughter sent them a letter signed Madeleine x and said she remembered being abducted from their holiday apartment in Portugal. Julia Wandelt, from Poland, is accused of stalking Kate and Gerry McCann over a period of two and a half years by contacting them hundreds of times and accosting them at their home, leaving them upset and worried about their safety.
The prosecution alleges Victoria died from hypothermia or was smothered while co-sleeping in a 'flimsy' tent after they took her off-grid in a bid to stop her from being taken into care.
