Madeleine McCann's parents hit back after Julia Wandelt claims she’s their missing daughter & questions DNA test result | The Sun

MADELEINE McCann's parents have spoken out after a woman from Poland claimed to be their missing daughter.

Julia Wandelt, 21, made headlines recently after trying to convince social media users she was the missing Brit.



Appearing on US talk show Dr Phil, Wandelt pleaded her case to millions of viewers.

However, DNA test results which were released yesterday confirmed Wandelt was from Poland.

In response to the DNA results, a spokesperson for Kate and Gerry McCann said: "There isn't anything to report at this time.

"If and when there is, it will come from The Metropolitan Police."

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

Dr Fia Johansson said a "simple DNA test" by the 21-year-old's parents – and the McCanns – could have helped her discover more about her alleged unknown past.

Questions over the young woman's future now hang in the balance, with it unclear if she will pursue another DNA test to compare with the McCann's.

The results were made public with a statement from the private detective quickly being released in the hours that followed.

It was revealed that Julia, who also goes by the surnames Wendell and Faustyna, is not Maddie.

Dr Johansson wrote on Instagram: "We finally know the reality.

"Although it is impossible to tell for sure without the parents DNA results on either side, the test results speak to the origins of Julia's root."

She explained that the results showed the 21-year-old is from Poland, with some Lithuanian and Romanian heritage.

Dr Johansson added: "The DNA test results did not show any connection to British or even German roots.

"This story is much more complicated than a simple girl from a small town in Poland making a claim to get attention.

"She truly believed what she was saying, and with so many questions about her childhood it is easy to understand where she was coming from.

"What is amazing is parent's refusal to resolve this nagging question for Julia.

"A simple DNA test by parents would have resolved many questions for Julia.
