Julia Wendell: Chances of young woman being Madeleine McCann are ‘practically impossible’

Kat O'Connor

Julia believes she is Madeleine McCann.

Experts have shut down claims Julia Wendell is missing girl Madeleine McCann.

The Polish girl has claimed she is the missing child, but both police and her family have disputed the rumours.

Now, a facial recognition firm in Switzerland has stressed that Julia is not Madeleine McCann.

Head of Ava-X, Christian Fehrlin told Blick that the odds of her being the missing British girl are incredibly slim

Dr. Fehrlin said, “It’s practically impossible for the young Pole to be Maddie.”

The update comes after Julia carried out multiple DNA tests.

She is currently in America where she is undergoing multiple health checks.

Speaking to RadarOnline, Dr. Johansson said Julia has sent off three DNA samples for forensic analysis.

She also sent a genetic test to establish her ancestry.

“If the results come back that she’s British or from that area then we are going to continue our investigation into Madeleine McCann.

Dr. Johansson also said they will communicate with the detectives in Portugal.

However, her family is refusing to take DNA tests of their own. They have denied her claims, and have apparently blocked Wendell’s number.
