Julia Wendell from Poland went viral after creating and Instagram accounted named '@iammadeleinemcann' and shared reasons why she thinks she could be the missing girl.

After hearing 'something' from her grandmother, the 21-year-old started thinking she could be Maddie, pointing out she has a freckle on her leg and a speck in her eye in the same place.
