Madeleine McCann latest: DNA test on woman claiming to be Maddie looks increasingly unlikely

A DNA test with Gerry or Kate McCann looks increasingly unlikely for Polish woman Julia Faustyna.

The 21-year-old emerged on Instagram two weeks ago claiming she was their daughter Madeleine who went missing in Portugal in 2007. Julia also published photographic comparisons of her features and those of Madeleine McCann, amassing over a million followers in the process.

These comparisons included a mark on her right eye and a number of freckles and skin marks she says are similar to Maddie. In addition, reflecting on her younger years, the Pole has concluded that her life hasn't made any sense, leading her to conclude that she was a victim of abduction.
