A woman who claimed she could be Madeleine McCann is not the missing girl, DNA results have reportedly shown. Julia Wendell hit the headlines when she said she could be Madeleine because of "similarities" she had noticed, but a DNA test has finally given her the answers she was searching for.
Madeleine was three when she went missing from the apartment her family were staying in in Praia da Luz in southern Portugal on May 3, 2007. Parents Kate and Gerry McCann, from Rothley, Leicestershire, had left their children sleeping in the apartment while they went out for dinner at a nearby tapas restaurant.
When Kate went to check on the children at around 10pm that night, she found Madeleine was missing, sparking a major international investigation costing millions of pounds.
