The young Polish woman is not Madeleine McCann, who has been missing since 2007, police say

Police in Poland have ruled out the possibility that Julia Wendell, who introduced herself as Julia Faustyna, 21, is in fact Britain’s Madeleine McCann, who has been missing since 2007.

The official investigations, which were carried out after the fallout from the case, have already collected enough evidence that the young woman lied claiming it was McCain. “The police measures taken so far contradict the version presented by the young woman. The activities are still ongoing, but it can already be ruled out that this version is correct,” said police spokesman Pawel Noga.

The young Polish woman posted videos and montages on her Instagram profile to try to prove the similarities of her physical features with those of the British woman. However, an investigator working on the missing child’s case said that a biometric analysis he performed showed “no similarity between the characteristics” of the two.

Julia even said that Madeleine’s parents, Gary and Kate, accepted a DNA test but so far have not officially manifested themselves. However, the Polish woman’s parents refused to conduct the procedure, claiming to have evidence that she is not British, such as official documents, including the birth certificate, and photos of Faustina from childhood, which are already handed over to the country’s authorities became Poles.

In a note, Julia’s parents claimed that the young woman suffered from mental health problems and always wanted to be a famous person. She has already seen health professionals such as psychologists and psychiatrists and taken medication. “Julia once wanted to be a singer, model. She always wanted to be popular. What is happening now has brought her 1 million followers. We are afraid that Julia will wear the inevitable. The Internet does not forget, and it is obvious that Julia is not Maddie is,” the family members said.
