Women Charged in Shocking Stalking Case of Madeleine McCann's Family
In a disturbing development, two women have been charged as part of an ongoing investigation into the alleged stalking of Madeleine McCann’s family. This case has captured public attention, as it adds another unsettling chapter to the tragic story of Madeleine’s disappearance, which remains one of the most infamous missing child cases in history.
The two accused individuals, Julia Wandel, 23, from Lubin, Poland, and Karen Spragg, 60, from Caerau, Cardiff, recently appeared in court on these serious allegations. Their actions reportedly caused significant alarm and distress to Kate and Gerry McCann, Madeleine’s parents, as well as her twin siblings, Sean and Amelie McCann.

Julia Wandel faces multiple stalking charges and was denied bail at Leicester Crown Court. The court proceedings revealed that she allegedly visited the McCann family’s home in Leicestershire on at least two separate occasions, once on May 2 and again on December 7, 2024. She is also accused of persistently contacting the family through letters, phone calls, voicemails, and WhatsApp messages. Furthermore, it is alleged that she sent Instagram messages directly to Sean and Amelie McCann between January and December of last year.
Karen Spragg, on the other hand, is facing a single count of stalking involving severe emotional distress, allegedly occurring between May 3, 2024, and February 21, 2025. Unlike Wandel, Spragg was granted conditional bail after appearing before Leicester Magistrates' Court. However, her bail conditions include a strict prohibition against contacting the McCanns or their close friends, as well as restrictions on traveling to Leicester unless required for legal matters. Her next court appearance is scheduled for April.
The disappearance of Madeleine McCann at just three years old, during a family holiday in Portugal in 2007, remains one of the most highly publicized missing person cases worldwide. Despite years of investigations and countless theories, her whereabouts remain unknown. For the McCann family, the pain of losing their daughter has been compounded by continued public scrutiny and, as this case shows, unwanted attention from individuals who have crossed serious legal and ethical boundaries.
As the case unfolds, the court will determine the fate of the two accused women and the extent of their alleged harassment. The McCann family, already burdened with an unimaginable tragedy, now faces yet another legal battle, seeking justice and peace in the wake of these unsettling events.
This latest incident serves as a stark reminder of the emotional toll that high-profile cases can have on victims and their families, as well as the importance of safeguarding privacy and enforcing strict legal consequences for those who engage in such distressing behavior.
