A Polish woman who believes she could be Madeleine McCann has submitted samples for forensic testing to determine if she is the missing Brit.
Julia Faustyna, who also goes by Julia Wendell, has been claiming on Instagram and TikTok that she may be the child – who disappeared from a family holiday in Portugal in 2007 – due to similarities in their age and appearance.
She has amassed tens of thousands of followers on both platforms as a result, posting under the handle @iammadeleinemccann.
The 21-year-old has submitted samples for three different forensic examinations that will outline her DNA sequence, along with a 23andMe-style genetic test to establish her ancestry, private investigator Dr Fia Johansson told RadarOnline.com.
“If the results come back that she’s British or from that area then we are going to continue our investigation into Madeleine McCann and communicate with the detectives in Portugal,” said Dr Johansson, who relocated Ms Wendell from Poland to a safe house in the United States after a series of death threats.
“We have a lot of evidence right now that shows Julia was definitely trafficked to Poland from another country by an international sex trafficking group.
“We are still conducting an investigation but Julia is definitely not the biological daughter of her parents in Poland.”
If Ms Wendell’s ancestry comes from the same region as Madeleine’s parents, Gerry and Kate McCann, Dr Johansson said she will immediately send the DNA sequence to Portuguese investigators for comparison.
Ms Wendell – who has said she does not “remember most of my childhood” – previously said that Madeleine’s parents have agreed to a DNA test.
She claims that details of her childhood don’t add up, leading her to believe that she was abducted as a toddler, and that she has a spot in her right eye and a beauty mark on her cheek similar to Madeleine.
Earlier this month, however, Pawel Noga from the Provincial Police Headquarters in Wroclaw told Polish news outlet Gazeta that authorities have “ruled out” Ms Wendell’s version of events to be “true”, according to an English translation of the outlet’s report.
In a 15-minute video posted to her Instagram, Ms Wendell and her “spokesperson”, psychic medium and private investigator, Dr Johansson, refuted the officers’ statement.
Dr Johansson said that “no police officers in Poland said that she (Julia) or she is not Madeleine McCann” and it was “all lies”.
She said the pair also intended to “force” Ms Wendell’s mother to submit to a DNA test.
