A Polish woman who believes she may be missing British girl Madeleine McCann claims the family has agreed to do a DNA test.
Faustyna, who has also been referred to as Julia Wandelt and Julia Wendell, has recently become an internet sensation after claiming that she has evidence that she “could be Madeleine.”
Many of Faustyna’s Instagram posts document side-by-side comparisons between herself and the McCanns.
“I recognize this person..it looks very similar to my abuser [sic],” she wrote.
The 21-year-old did not elaborate on what kind of abuse she may have suffered in reference to being preyed on by a “German pedophile.”
Faustyna says she learned about McCann’s case from her grandmother a few months ago.
She also claims that she does not remember most of her early life except holidays in hot places with white-colored apartments.
Though Faustyna is legally 21, she is not sure about her age and has never seen her birth certificate. If alive, Madeleine would be 19 years old.
Francisco Marco, a private detective linked to the Madeleine McCann case, has broken his silence over Faustyna’s claims.
He told Spanish newspaper El Independiente: “Without knowing the details in depth, it doesn’t add up to me. I don’t think it’s her.”
Madeleine McCann’s Disappearance
On May 3, 2007, three-year-old McCann went missing from a hotel room in Praia de Luz, Portugal, while on vacation with her parents.At the time of her disappearance, the young girl and her two siblings were sleeping in their bedroom while her parents were dining at a nearby restaurant.
When her mother checked on her later that evening, she found the bedroom door and window open and the young McCann missing.
Police immediately suspected her parents were involved in her disappearance, but investigators later surmised that Madeleine was possibly kidnapped by German sex offender Christian Brückner.
German authorities, how do not have enough evidence to prove he is responsible for her disappearance.
Despite extensive searches over the years, McCann’s body has never been found.
