Woman claiming to be Madeleine McCann has 'evidence' she was trafficked

New bombshell 'evidence' has reportedly come to light showing the young Polish woman who is claiming to be Madeline McCann was trafficked to Poland.

Julia Wendell is believed to be in a secret location in the United States after being whisked away from her hometown shortly after she came forward to say she may be missing Madeline.

Self-professed medium Dr Fia Johansson, who is with her at the safehouse in California, claims evidence shows Julia was "definitely trafficked to Poland", reports the Irish Mirror.

Julia, 21, went viral on Instagram after sharing supposed "evidence" to show she is Madeleine, the Leicestershire girl who vanished while on a family holiday in Portugal in 2007.

Johannsson said she will not reveal where exactly she is staying for Julia's safety. Reports suggest the US authorities were accommodating in trying to get the young Polish woman into the country.

“I just want to make sure she is in a safe place until we actually figure out exactly where and how we are going to conduct the DNA tests,” said the investigator.

“I do not want to disclose the location because I don’t want people to come after her and basically try to harm her."

Speaking to RadarOnline, Dr Johansson previously said Julia has sent off three DNA samples for forensic analysis as well as a genetic test to establish her ancestry (something akin to 23andMe).

"If the results come back that she’s British or from that area then we are going to continue our investigation into Madeleine McCann and communicate with the detectives in Portugal," Dr Johansson told the publication.

"Wehome cou have a lot of evidence right now that shows Julia was definitely trafficked to Poland."

Julia's family in Poland have denied her claims. According to Dr Johansson, her mum and dad have also blocked Julia's number and are refusing to take a DNA test of their own.
