PROFILE

Madeleine McCann disappeared on May 3, 2007 at a resort in Praia da Luz, in Portugal’s Algarve region, while on vacation with his parents Kate and Gerry McCann, his twin brother, as well as a group of family friends with their respective children. Maddie, as the minor in the family is called, is from the UK, aged 3 and, despite the detectives in charge of the case recently expressing their suspicions of German convict Christian Brueckner, who is incarcerated for his extensive history of sexual crimes. , the lack of evidence or evidence against her has turned the little girl’s case into the scenario of doubt and uncertainty that she follows: Julia Wendell.

More than 15 years after McCann’s tragic disappearance, Julia Wendell believes it could be Madeleine, because, as she states through her social networks, “she shares a physical resemblance with him and also her history.”

Originally from Poland, Julia is 21 years old and recently created an Instagram account under the name I Am Madeleine McCann (I’m Madeleine McCann) to get in touch with the McCann family directly. Julia was adopted and claims she has tried, without success, to get a copy of her birth certificate as well as her medical records on her health or photos from when she was a baby. Something that had aroused his suspicions. “I had never heard of this case until I started asking my parents about my childhood., because I have little to no memory of it. Things don’t seem to add up and childhood memories are very hazy. When I was very little, my teachers at school told me I wasn’t around in the first place, but my parents insisted, for example. Police investigators from England and Poland tried to ignore me. I will tell my story in a post here (on social media). Help me,” he explained.

Also, according to what he said, as a young man he was sexually abused by a German pedophile. “I have lived a very difficult life and experienced a lot of trauma, my abuser is a German pedophile who is a suspect in the Madeleine McCann investigation.”

In her post, Julia comparing her current physical features to Madeleine’sand pointed out that the two share some very common ones, such as the iris coloboma which gives the pupil an irregular shape, the shape of the incisors or lips, and even some skin moles.

At the moment, and according to British newspapers Daily Star, the McCann family prefers silence. However, They are willing to do a DNA test to prove whether the young Polish woman is telling the truth. “The family is willing to analyze all leads. It is important for them to observe all factors, girls are similar. No doubt. If what he said is true, there is a high chance it will be him,” they explained.

Julia isn’t the only young woman who claims to be Madeleine. Since his departure, there have been hundreds of young women who claim to be their little ones. The last in 2019: Harriet Brookes.
