Shock! DNA test results prove Julia is NOT Madeleine McCann

Ok, so what now then?

| UPDATED

The DNA test results are in, and have proven Julia Wendell, who also goes by the names of Julia Faustyna, is in fact NOT missing girl Madeleine McCann.

In the last few months, the world has been captivated by Julia’s story, as she first started sharing “evidence” she might be Madeleine on an Instagram account called “I am Madeleine McCann”. The account reached a million followers, and then was mysteriously taken down, as Julia headed to the US with a private investigator to get her DNA test completed.

According to reports, the tests have concluded Julia is not of British heritage and is actually from Poland, with some Lithuanian and Romanian heritage.

Private investigator and medium, Dr Fia Johansson, said: “She is absolutely 100 percent from Poland. She is a small percentage of Lithuanian and Russian but the test results show she is Polish.” She added: “At least Julia got the investigators to move on the McCann case – she made things happen.”

Last week, Julia appeared on American talk show Dr Phil, to talk about her journey thinking she might be Madeleine McCann. She shared her evidence, when she first believed she might be Madeleine, and said if her birth mother is her true mother, she doesn’t want any contact with her moving forward. “I believe she isn’t my mother,” Julia said, when at the time she was still awaiting DNA test results to see if she was Madeleine McCann.

Julia said it was in June 2022 she first started to think she could be Madeleine, and recalled about a year ago she began to research the Madeleine McCann case, believing she might be the missing child.

Well, what now?
