After making her first television appearance, an investigator has claimed that a "mystery caller" attempted to lure the girl who believes she's Madeleine McCann to Portugal.
Julia Wendell, 21, has created great intrigue after she took to social media claiming to be the missing British girl.
Madeleine McCann went missing on May 3, 2007, from her holiday apartment in Portugal as her parents, Gerry and Kate dined at a nearby restaurant.
Julia, who also goes by the name of Julia Faustyna or Julia Wandelt, had gone viral after claiming she believes she might be Madeleine, but after the social media attention got to be too much she deleted her social media accounts and fled Poland to the US after fearing for her safety.
The 21-year-old made her first television appearance on Dr. Phil where she revealed that she is currently waiting for DNA test results that will shed light on her identity.
Julia was joined by private investigator Dr. Fia Johansson, who recently sat down with Radar Online where she made some stunning claims that the 21-year-old has been receiving mystery calls attempting to lure her to Praia da Luz in Portugal where Madeleine went missing.
Discussing what she believes to be an alleged kidnapping plot, Dr. Johansson said: "[The female mystery caller] wanted [Julia] to fly to Portugal and be with her and saying that you should not be telling Fia Johansson that ‘I did talk to you about it, you have a passport, I can buy you the ticket and you can come to me, all you need is love'."
Dr. Johansson believes that the calls are coming from the same alleged human trafficking ring that may have abducted Madeleine back in 2007.
Julia told Radar Online: "This woman said that she always wanted to have a child and that she could be my mother because I need love in [my] life, and this the only thing that I need love and caring – and she can give it.”
A team of investigators is currently looking into the alleged phone calls, and as an extra precaution, the police in California have been informed.
Watch Julia's appearance on Dr. Phil below:While appearing on Dr. Phil, Dr. Johansson revealed why she got involved with Julia's case, stating: "After I spoke to Julia, I knew I had to fly to Poland. It was back in 2018 and 19 that I got involved in the Madeleine McCann case. I was involved as a psychic police. [...] I believe she is alive.
"I started to investigate Julia's body, to figure out if she has [Madeleine's] birthmarks. And for me, yes... she had.
"Julia's mom refused to do the DNA test and she refused to answer any calls, texts, or communication," she added. "At this moment, I kinda know the truth. But until I get an answer, it's hard to say 100% - but it's also hard to deny it 100%."
