Exclusive: “I Believe I am Madeleine McCann”

Twenty-one-year-old Julia Wendell captured the attention of millions across the globe when she claimed she believes she may be the most famous missing child in the world, Madeleine McCann. Wendell claims she has the same famous dark mark on her eye as McCann and similar body markings. She also claims she can’t remember large chunks of her early childhood, isn’t sure of her age, and has never seen her birth certificate. In an exclusive interview, Wendell reveals what else she discovered that made her believe she is the girl who vanished in 2007 at 3 years old. However, Wendell’s parents in Poland insist she is their biological child and deny she was kidnapped. McCann, who would be 19 years old now, was abducted in 2007 while on vacation with her family in Portugal and is presumed dead. Has McCann finally been found? Or, is this a cruel hoax? (21121)

She didn’t claim to be she thinks there’s a chance she might be. She is doing this to try figure out who she is regardless if she is Madeleine or not.

[jameslinmd]

Doesn't look like Madeleine though. I am sure she was kidnapped too based on her history.

[dfinite]

No. Not her, isn’t that already established? With social media it’s so hard to decipher what is true.

[julieduncan]

Well we now know she's not maddie

[notseemike]

And just one thing why are fingerprints not a good start ?

[Niranize]

ANYTHING COULD BE POSSIBLE, GOT THE FEELING THAT THOSE WORDS OF "BRINGING" USED TO SAY TO THE ONE WHO TOOK HER BEFORE TAKING OUT HER LIFE . MAY THIS BEAUTIFUL SOUL REST IN PEACE ❤️

[Sassy-xr]

Nothing like her - She is however the twin of her polish mother

[beautybysoraya]

Omg for God's sake just take the DNA test....

[lzndlhb]

It’s so funny that anyone actually believed her 😭

[cynthiawagner]

I don't think she's Madeline. Dhe probably just wants the publicity.

[faithmottinger]

This is so hurtful to the MCCann family.

[green]

It’s plain as day she’s not Madeleine McCann. Just tell her to look in the mirror. Is she blind?

[Emsie]

So how did she get to the USA from Poland ? If as she claims no birth certificate? Riddle me that?

[misst]

Anyone know when it will be aired in the uk please? And can I see full episodes online xx

[xmissingchaptersx]

I don’t understand why they would leave their own child alone with babies in the room. And why there wasn’t any footage of anyone entering her room, clearly her parents have something to do with it. Why would they just take one child?

[Cruella-Deville]

We all know the truth on M.M. Bless her RIP

[JL-znme]

Julia is not Madeline. This has gone far enough… it doesn’t take long to get results from a DNA test. Is there a results show? Part 2?

[notseemike]

I look closely at the eye defect Madeleine McCann's eye, defect comes in about 6:35 where Julia's comes in about 6:30 so I don't think they're the same

[brittany]

It wouldn’t have taken all this time for the results if it was believed she could be her . She’s been banging on about these results for months on social media

[sarahr]

Dr Phil is ridiculous and this is hurtful to Madeline's family.
