Woman who believes she may be Madeleine McCann finally receives DNA test results after weeks of waiting
THE woman claiming to be Maddie McCann has finally got her long-awaited DNA test results.
Julia Wandelt revealed she believed she could be missing Maddie on social media in recent weeks – claiming she had similar facial features, suffered an abusive childhood and had started to question her parentage.
The case was quickly picked up by private detective Dr Fia Johansson who flew Julia from Poland to Los Angeles last week after she started receiving threats and vile messages from online haters.
Dr. Johansson arranged for Julia to give samples in the US for detailed DNA tests – including a DNA test similar to a 23andMe test, which will establish her ancestry.
And the Mirror have this morning reported her DNA test results have confirmed that she is not the missing girl.
The test looked into her heritage, and showed that she is from Poland, with some Lithuanian and Romanian heritage.
Her DNA was not compared to the McCanns’.
Julia is also facing a nervous wait for the results of further health tests as doctors fear she may have leukaemia, Dr Johansson – with Julia’s permission – revealed to The Sun.
She said: “Her health is very poor she has bad asthma and she suffers lots of pain in her bones.
“She is booked in for a CT and MRI scan because of the pain in her bones.
“Her blood work is also abnormal so my doctor here in the US is investigating whether she could have leukaemia so we are awaiting the results of that.
“And if she needs any treatment we will make sure she gets that.”
Julia was whisked to the US last month after being barraged with threats – with one message even claiming there was a 30,000 euro bounty on her head.
