A woman who claims to be Madeleine McCann has shared a shocking new update regarding her DNA results.

Julia Wandelt, also known as Julia Faustyna and Julia Wendell, gained worldwide attention in 2023 when she suggested that she might be Madeleine, the missing girl at the center of one of the world’s most well-known disappearance cases.

Madeleine was just three years old when she mysteriously vanished from her family’s vacation apartment in Praia da Luz, Portugal, in May 2007. At the time, she had been sleeping alongside her twin siblings, Sean and Amelie, while their parents dined at a nearby restaurant.

Despite extensive international investigations and millions spent on the case, her whereabouts remain unknown. However, authorities continue to pursue leads.

The U.K. Home Office recently allocated an additional $248,000 to aid the investigation, while German prosecutors maintain their focus on Christian B., the primary suspect. Currently imprisoned for an unrelated crime, Christian B. has remained a person of interest, even after being cleared of other charges earlier this year.

Wandelt’s Claims

Julia Wandelt has drawn significant attention with her claims of being Madeleine. She points to physical similarities, such as a rare eye condition called coloboma, and says she has vague memories of being abducted and abused as a child.

Last year, she even attended a prayer vigil for Madeleine, reportedly hoping to deliver a letter to the missing girl’s parents, Gerry and Kate McCann, asking them to cooperate in a DNA test. However, she later expressed frustration at the lack of response, stating: “I have never stopped believing I am Madeleine McCann… No, I am not crazy. I am not a liar.”

Wandelt has also spoken about her alleged abduction on the Break The Ice Podcast, recalling: “I remember being taken… I remember that I was put into the car. I remember that someone used something like a syringe to put something [in] my body.”

She further described being handed over to a man with dark hair and tanned skin, though she could not remember his face.

DNA Testing and Disputed Results

To support her claims, Wandelt underwent DNA testing during an appearance on Dr. Phil. Her representative, Dr. Fia Johansson—a self-described psychic medium—revealed the results, stating: “She is absolutely 100 percent from Poland. She is a small percentage of Lithuanian and Russian, but the test results show she is Polish.”

These findings directly contradict Wandelt’s belief that she could be Madeleine. However, she remains adamant about her claims.

Dr. Johansson believes Wandelt’s mother is likely her biological parent, though there are still questions surrounding her father’s identity.
