Biometric analysis shows woman claiming she's Madeleine McCann is not 'Missing Maddie'

Biometric analysis shows that a woman claiming to be Madeleine McCann bears no resemblance to the missing girl, an investigator has said.

Julia Wendell, from Poland, went viral this week after creating an Instagram account named @iammadeleinemcann, saying she started wondering if she was Maddie "a few months ago" after hearing "something" from her grandma.

She alleged that the McCanns approached her to take a DNA test, and claimed to have a freckle on her leg as well as a speck in her eye in the same places as Maddie.
