Julia Faustyna Wandelt

Julia Faustyna Wandelt is a Polish woman who gained media attention when she claimed to be Madeleine McCann, the British girl who disappeared in 2007 while on vacation in Portugal. She initially underwent a DNA test to support her assertion, which revealed her Polish heritage and no relation to the McCann family. After retracting her claims in a BBC interview, she recently reignited interest by publishing a purported genetic expert's report suggesting a genetic match with Gerry McCann. Despite her controversial claims, the McCann family has declined to participate in further DNA testing.
