Private investigator who worked on Madeleine McCann case 'rules out' young woman's claims

New biometric analysis has emerged that rules out any possibility that Julia Wendell is Madeleine McCann, according to a private investigator who worked on the case of the missing child in 2007.

Julia, from Poland, has claimed that her local police have reportedly ignored her, so she went to Instagram to tell the world that she believes she is Madeleine McCann. She has since gone viral online with people divided on whether they believe her not.

She said she started wondering if she was Maddie "a few months ago" after hearing "something" from her grandma, the Irish Mirror reports. Julia said that the coloboma in her eye and the freckle on her leg which are similar to Madeline's also led her to believe that her true identity is Madeleine McCann. The McCanns have since approached her for a DNA test, it is claimed.
