Madeleine McCann news: Psychic issues public plea after chat with Julia Wendell

The young woman who went viral in recent weeks for her claim that she is Madeleine McCann has sought help from a police psychic.

Julia Wendell's claims have sparked outrage online among many who do not believe she is grown-up Maddie, who went missing at the age of four in Portugal's Praia da Luz back in 2007. The 21-year-old girl from Poland claimed to have a freckle on her leg and a speck in her eye in the same places as the British girl.

As the backlash sparked from Julia's claims continues to grow, the girl has now sought help from a Persian medium, Dr Fia Johansson, who has reportedly helped the US police on missing person cases. The self-professed psychic issued a statement claiming to be investigating Julia’s case and has urged people to stop hating on the girl and to "respect her privacy".
