The woman from Poland who spent several weeks claiming she could legitimately be Madeleine McCann has said she will do another DNA test after the first one showed she was not the missing British girl. Julia Wendell - who is also being referred to as Julia Faustyna or Julia Wandelt in media reports - <a href="https://vt.co/news/uk/girl-who-believes-she-could-be-madeleine-mccann-claims-dna-test-will-be-done-soon">built up an online following based on claims that she could be the three-year-old girl who disappeared nearly 16 years ago.</a> On May 3, 2007, Maddie <a href="https://vt.co/news/uk/madeleine-mccanns-parents-speak-out-after-christian-brueckner-is-declared-formal-suspect-over-daughters-disappearance">went missing in Praia da Luz, Portugal,</a> while on vacation with her parents, Kate and Gerry. <img class="size-full wp-image-1263202945" src="https://img.vt.co/2023/03/DPD4TA.jpg" alt="" width="1190" height="1523" />[[imagecaption|| Handout Photo of Madeleine McCann who has been missing since May 3, 2007.

Despite multiple years of searching for Maddie, who would now be 19, she was never found. Wendell had been fixated on the idea that she shared physical similarities with the missing girl although at 21 she was older than Madeleine. Earlier this month, her <a href="https://vt.co/news/girl-claiming-to-be-madeleine-mccanns-dna-results-finally-revealed">DNA results revealed that the young woman has near 100 percent Polish heritage, with no evidence of British ancestry.</a> The woman who helped organize the DNA test is private investigator and self-professed medium Dr. Fia Johansson. Dr. Johansson told <a href="https://radaronline.com/p/madeleine-mccann-dna-test-shows-woman-claiming-to-be-is-not-the-missing-toddler/">RadarOnline</a>: "[Wendell] is absolutely 100 percent from Poland. She is a small percentage of Lithuanian and Russian but the test results show she is Polish. We learned a few things, one being that Julia’s mum is in fact now believed to be her mum, so she is not Madeleine McCann." Despite seemingly having a good relationship with Dr. Johansson prior to her results being revealed, Wendell is now accusing the woman of deceiving her. In a <a href="https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=pfbid0BnoD6GQTGNFhrn77edL2jids7mso7yM4k2wfswMGARCdom5Ac2NFo5TCpxNJRuYil&id=100091344413589">Facebook post,</a> Wendell said: "I believe that my birth certificate could be forged. I still believe that it’s a possibility that I could be Madeleine and don’t be bad I will tell you why." Julia continued: "When I was doing [the] dna test in USA it was DNA kit from company called Ancestry. Fia didn’t want to give me results over one week me asking for it. "When she finally gave me access to my results I was so shocked because it was on another company’s website. Tell me please, how [is it] possible that my results came to [the] website of competitive company?" Now, Wendell has shared another eyebrow-raising post on her new Instagram account with the handle "Am I Julia Wendell". [[instagramwidget||https://www.instagram.com/p/CrGmtGBhOlt/]] Wendell explained in the post that will do another DNA test - this time on her own, saying: "Yes, my plan is to do a DNA test, another DNA by myself, but nobody will know when and nobody will know which company, or where. I want to do this because, I just want to do this. I don't even have to explain why but I think everyone knows why I want to do this. When the results come I will let you know everything." She went on to say that she has the "support" of authorities and that she is requesting Dr. Johansson hand over all of the documents and medical charts in connection with her case. <h6>Featured image credit: James Boardman Archive / Alamy</h6>
