The case of Madeleine McCann, who went missing in 2007, remains an unsolved mystery. What is the role of the parents? What does a German suspect have to do with it and is she alive or not? The answers are still not there and McCann breaks every trace to this day.
Julia Wendell claims to be Maddie McCann
But the Polish Julia Wendell says via social media platform TikTok that she is convinced that she is the missing McCann. According to foreign media, she would even have convinced parents Gerry and Kate to take a DNA test.
Madeleine McCann disappeared on May 3, 2007 while on a family vacation in the Portuguese Algarve. The girl would have disappeared when she was sleeping in the apartment with her brother and sister. At the time, parents Gerry and Kate were out for dinner in a restaurant near their residence.
Story on social media
Main suspect in this missing person case is the German Christan Bruckner . He was previously convicted of rape and child abuse. The German is said to have been near the Portuguese apartment at the time of McCann’s disappearance. This was established by the police on the basis of a telephone investigation.
A few days ago, Wendell set up the Instagram account @iammadeleinemccan. After that, the same kind of profile also followed on TikTok. Wendell then shares her story.
Polish woman sees the same external features
Wendell says she doubts her identity. A conversation with her grandmother would have caused mistrust and she claims that she does not receive a birth certificate, baby photos or DNA test from her parents.
The Polish woman sees in herself the same external characteristics as in McCann. For example, she claims to have a freckle on her leg and a speck in her eye, just like the missing girl. She tries to demonstrate these similarities on social media using photos and videos.
DNA test on Maddie McCann’s parents
Wendell’s age does not match McCann’s age, but the Polish thinks her age may be incorrect. McCann was born in May 2003, so she should be 19 years old now.
Wendell’s videos are quite a stir and have been picked up by foreign media . British and Spanish media report that the McCann family has also learned of the Polish girl. The parents of the missing Maddie would be willing to do a DNA test.
