Madeleine McCann latest: Woman claiming to be missing girl could go to court for DNA test

A young woman who is claiming to be Madeleine McCann could go to court to get a DNA test, according to a spokesperson who has been representing her in the media.

21-year-old Julia Faustyna emerged on social media two weeks ago claiming she was the missing British girl and shared 'evidence' which includes birth marks and a defect in her right eye similar to Maddie. Julia says doesn't remember large parts of her childhood, and claims she was abused by a German paedophile who looks like someone who was once a suspect in Madeleine's disappearance from Portugal in 2007.

However, doubts have been raised about Julia's stories by her own family back in Poland and by police. In response, Julia has hit back and a post on her I Am Madeleine McCann Instagram account takes aim at her 'suspicious' mother.
