Woman who believes she may be Madeleine McCann finally receives DNA test results after weeks of waiting | The Sun

A WOMAN who believed she was Madeleine McCann has finally got her long-awaited DNA test results.

Julia Wandelt, 21, claimed on social media in recent weeks that she was missing Maddie.


Julia claimed she had similar facial features, suffered an abusive childhood and had started to question her parentage.

The case was quickly picked up by private detective Dr Fia Johansson who flew Julia from Poland to Los Angeles after she started receiving threats and vile messages from online haters.

Dr Johansson arranged for Julia to give samples in the US for detailed DNA tests – including a DNA test similar to a 23andMe test, which has established her ancestry.

And the Mirror have this morning reported the 21-year-old's test results have confirmed she is not Maddie, who vanished from her family's Portuguese holiday flat in 2007.

The test looked into her heritage, and showed that she is from Poland, with some Lithuanian and Romanian heritage.

Wendell requested DNA testing after saying she believed she was Madeleine, and wanted to get into contact with Kate and Gerry McCann.

However, her DNA was not compared to the McCanns'.

Dr Johansson told RadarOnline: "She is absolutely 100 per cent from Poland.

"She is a small percentage of Lithuanian and Russian but the test results show she is Polish."

Julia was whisked to the US after being bombarded with threats – with one message even claiming there was a 30,000 euro bounty on her head.

Dr Johansson also spent almost a week in Poland investigating Julia's claims and trying to get her parents to give a DNA test.

Julia is also facing a nervous wait for the results of further health tests as doctors fear she may have leukaemia, Dr Johansson – with Julia's permission – revealed to The Sun.

She said: “Her health is very poor she has bad asthma and she suffers lots of pain in her bones.

“She is booked in for a CT and MRI scan because of the pain in her bones.

“Her blood work is also abnormal so my doctor here in the US is investigating whether she could have leukaemia so we are awaiting the results of that.

"And if she needs any treatment we will make sure she gets that."
