A woman who believes she is Madeleine McCann has been handed DNA proof that she is not the missing Briton.
Polish 21-year-old Julia Wendell(pictured) made headlines after claiming she was the daughter of Kate and Gerry McCann who disappeared on a family holiday in Portugal in 2007.
Wendell regularly pushed the theory in her now deleted Instagram account @iammadeleinemccann. She used the social media account to share side-by-side childhood photos of both her and Madeleine, claiming they shared the same eye defect.
Her representative, Dr Fia Johansson, said she had a lot of evidence right now that shows Julia was definitely trafficked to Poland from another country by an international sex trafficking group.
Ms Johansson revealed that they received almost 500 pages of the 21-year-old’s medical records, and they show that Julia suffered a skull fracture at the age of eight, and was in a “near-comatose” state in hospital. She was then unable to speak or walk for over a year as a result of the injury.
Prior to a DNA test being taken a Swiss company called Company Ava-X, disputed the claims using technology that helps police officers identify missing people and unite them with their families.
Her loud claims led to private investigator Fia Johansson, taking up the case, eventually confirming that the pair are not the same person.
“She is absolutely 100 percent from Poland,” Johansson said.
“She is a small percentage of Lithuanian and Russian but the test results show she is Polish.”
However, the investigator defended the attention that Wendell had received in making her claims.
Julia took a DNA test to find out more about her identity and the results have finally come back after weeks of waiting.

After making headlines around the world, the polish woman’s parents issued a statement in which they spoke of the pain caused by her “lies and manipulations”.
They said in a statement: “For us as a family it is obvious that Julia is our daughter, granddaughter, sister, niece, cousin and step niece. We have memories, we have pictures.
“Julia also has these photos, because she took them from the family home with the birth certificate, as well as numerous hospital discharges.
“We always tried to understand all situations that happened with Julia. Threats to our address from Julia, her lies and manipulations, activity on the internet… we’ve seen it all and we’ve tried to prevent it, explain it, we’ve asked her to stop.”
They added: “We always tried to help her get back on her feet. Julia has been of age for several years. She moved out of the house.
“She refuses treatment, does not take medication regularly. She also did not take advantage of the possibility of treatment at a very good centre in Poland, which agreed to accept her.”
They added: “Julia once wanted to be a singer, a model. She always wanted to be popular. What’s happening now is she [has] 1 million followers… We are devastated at this current situation.”
Julia is yet to comment about the latest developments.
