Woman who says she is Madeleine McCann has memories "eerily similar" to area tot went missing

A woman claiming to be Madeleine McCann says her early childhood memories are "eerily similar" to the location where the tot vanished 16 years ago.

Julia Faustyna, who also goes by the name of Julia Wendell or Julia Wandelt, claims she has only one memory from her childhood - which is being on a beach by the ocean. The 21-year-old appeared on Dr Phil on Monday to discuss her claims that she is the missing child who disappeared while on holiday with her parents in Praia De Luz, Portugal, in 2007.

Addressing the audience, host Dr Phil said: "Julia says she has no recollection of her earlier childhood, except for one memory. What she remembers is eerily similar to the place where Madeleine McCann was last seen alive."
