For 16 years Kate and Gerry McCann have tirelessly searched for their missing daughter, Madeleine.
Maddie was just 3 when she vanished from her bed in a holiday apartment in Praia da Luz, Portugal on the evening of May 3, 2007.
Now, in a shocking twist, a young Polish woman has come forward with ‘evidence’ to support her claim that she might be the missing British child – allegedly prompting the McCanns to agree to a DNA test.
“I think I can be Madeleine,” Julia Faustyna, who also goes by Julia Wendell and Julia Wandelt, wrote on Facebook.
“I have a defect in my eye, in the same eye, the kind of defect Madeleine had. Except that in my case it’s faded more and more every year,” she shared online.
Julia, who quickly amassed over a million Instagram followers, says she began wondering if she was Maddie “a few months ago” after hearing “something” from her grandma. She is 21 years old but believes her age could be wrong. If alive today, little Maddie would now be 19.
Insisting she has no recollection of most details from her childhood, Julia shared a series of photographs she claims proves her likeness to the little girl, as well as her parents Kate and Gerry.
