Really bizarre development in the saga of the Polish lady that insists she is missing toddler Madeleine McCann. After issuing an apology to the McCanns in 2023 when DNA testing concluded she was almost certainly not Maddie McCann, the young lady is now back with a brand new DNA test that she says proves she is related to Gerry McCann. Which means she may actually be Madeleine McCann after all.

23-year-old Julia Wandelt, also known as Julia Wendell, went viral back in 2023 after starting up a whole bunch of social media accounts using the handle @IamMadeleineMcCann. The 23-year-old even had an appearance on Dr. Phil and enlisted the help of a private detective and a psychic to try figure the whole thing out.

In the end, Julia underwent a bunch of DNA tests which showed that she is from Poland and ruled out the chance of her being Gerry and Kate McCann’s daughter. However, the McCanns refused to provide their own DNA to compare against hers, which apparently kept the possibility open in Julia’s mind that she could still be Maddie.

Julia is now back with a new DNA test, claiming a ‘world expert’ has compared her DNA to the crime scene following Madeleine’s disappearance. And guess what? The expert believes the genetic evidence ‘strongly supports that Gerry McCann could be Julia Wandelt’s biological father’.

Indeed, Julia’s source reportedly said her DNA is a ‘perfect match’ to samples taken from the scene of Madeleine’s disappearance.

The source claimed to have analysed ‘hair obtained from the floor of the crime scene in Portugal’ and ‘saliva obtained from the bed quilt at the scene’, resulting in a 69.23% match which ‘suggests a biological connection between the two individuals’.

Julia posted part of the results on social media, and says ‘expert’ analysts have looked at the DNA and concluded she is ‘part British and part Irish’, rather than 100% Polish as previous tests found. Which is just a tad confusing, but let’s continue to humour her for a bit.

Other parts of the results were analysed by the ‘highly respected and recognised world expert’ Dr Monte Miller, who has a PhD in Biochemistry from Loma Linda University in California.

Dr Miller said:

‘The simple answer is that the suspect is not the source of the DNA on the evidence, because their DNA is not fully established everywhere.

‘However, they do match fairly well, more than I would expect at random, and a specific pattern emerges that look like an almost certain family connection’.

Julia previously told the BBC she had been sexually abused as a young child, and first started believing she was Madeleine McCann after seeing resemblances between suspects in the case and her abuser.

She says she has gaps in her memory from her childhood, which led her to become suspicious about her upbringing, including whether she had been adopted.

Just one minor problem with that – Julia’s parents have provided her with childhood photographs and her birth certificate. But apparently Julia does not find her own childhood photographs and birth certificate compelling enough as evidence that her parents are her real mum and dad, and finds it more plausible that she’s Madeleine McCann; missing daughter of Gerry and Kate.

Now, speaking to MailOnline, Julia’s media representative Surjit Singh Clair said she wants both her Polish parents and the McCanns to take a DNA test. He said:

‘Despite indicators she is related to Gerry McCann, neither he nor Kate will take a DNA test.

‘Police have denied organising a DNA test after hearing Julia was Polish on the BBC, but even if she was just “a random Polish person” how can they possibly explain her DNA being linked to the crime scene.

‘They have spent £20million on this investigation and now won’t spend £60 on a DNA test, even though she offered to pay for it.’

Well, I don’t think the £60 cost of a DNA test is what’s stopping them, to be fair. They’re probably just not particularly keen on playing along with some Polish fantasist who thinks she’s their missing daughter despite all the evidence to the contrary.

Then again, a 69.23% match to DNA recovered at the scene of Maddie’s disappearance in Portugal may be worth looking into, even if it’s not strong enough to suggest an immediate family connection. More like a cousin, perhaps?

Either way, I would guess the McCanns have had DNA tests as part of the investigation and so the authorities could easily explore this avenue if they really wanted to. Doesn’t look like the Maddie saga will be going away at any point in any of our lifetimes, at this rate.
