Madeleine McCann

A young woman believes she is Madeleine McCann. Madeleine went missing at a holiday resort in Portugal in 2007.

The 21-year-old Julia Faustyna is from Poland. And says she has "evidence" suggesting she could be the long-missing girl.

She says she had a complicated childhood. And also has a rare coloboma in her right eye and moles on her leg which match Madeleine's.

"It's funny people are saying I am doing this for fame," she said in the clip while talking to psychic Dr. Fia Johansson, who is helping with the case.

Many similarities to Madeleine McCann

"I can say ... thank you for support, these people who supported me and ... f**k off to people who made me cry. I'm sorry I had to but telling me that I should die, it's very, very mad. It's not nice."

"I didn't plan it for months to become McCann just because someone say something," she continued. "You are not in my situation so you can't say what I should do. I'm not ashamed because this is my past, it's not about this case. This is the best way I can do for myself and you don't know me personally, so don't judge me please."

“I think I can be Madeleine,” she wrote on Facebook. “I have a defect in my eye, in the same eye, the kind of defect Madeleine had. Except that in my case it’s faded more and more every year. I remember practically nothing from my childhood."

“During the therapy I started to analyze a lot, reflect and ask a lot of uncomfortable questions to my family, until at one point my mother couldn’t stand the barrage of questions and cut me off from therapy beginning in 2021,” she continued. “I do have a few memories. The earliest of these are vacations. But I completely don’t recall my mother being there, for example, or my stepfather, much less my dad."

Wendell's family says she is lying

Pawel Noga of the Provincial Police Headquarters in the western city of Wroclaw “ruled out” Wendell’s claim after meeting with her biological family, according to the Polish news outlet Gazeta.

Madeleine McCann would be 19 today if she was still alive. According to her family Julia Wendell is 21.

Wendell's relatives showed authorities a birth certificate and photos in a desperate bid to hose down the viral and media firestorm.  Julia triggered a media firestorm when she went on an Instagram campaign with the claims that she was the missing 3-year-old abducted in Portugal in 2007 during a family vacation.

Wendell’s family posted a statement on a Facebook page dedicated to missing persons, alleging the 21-year-old “lies and manipulates” people especially when she doesn’t take the medications prescribed by her psychiatrist.
