Woman who claims to be Madeleine McCann sends emotional message to Kate and Gerry

A Polish woman who claims to be Madeleine McCann has made an emotional plea to the parents of the missing girl during her first interview.

Julia Wendell, 21, has shared that she "really believes" she could be Kate and Gerry McCann's daughter - and if not then she believes that she was abused by the same perpetrator who kidnapped then three year-old Madeleine in 2007.

Wendell, who is living in a US safe house after being forced to flee her home country, has undergone multiple DNA tests in the hopes of proving she is Madeleine. She says she has previously been ignored by law enforcement agencies who have ignored "critical evidence", the Daily Record reports.
