Madeleine McCann disappeared from her parents' holiday apartment in Portugal in 2007. Experts have pointed out flaws in a young woman's claims she's missing ...

The couple also have 17-year-old twins Sean and Amelie. “I just can’t see it. She started to shout at me. She said her family said she is “not normal” and labelled her “horrible” for giving “hope to the McCanns”. “I asked her for a DNA test with her or with my parents and she will not take a DNA test with me and I can’t say she has to do it.” Perhaps the most powerful image is one showing Julia with what appears to be a similar eye defect to the one missing Maddie also has. Julia agreed, explaining through tears she “asked” for proof she was their child, but they made her “feel bad” – adding the situation has left her feeling “scared and alone” and revealing her relationship with her partner is suffering too. The revelation came during a live chat with an unidentified social media user, who branded her family’s refusal to take a DNA test or supply her birth certificate “fishy” and “concerning”. It’s the “evidence” that appears to support Julia’s claims that has the general public so invested – including her most recent update stating her family had “shunned” her. Julia now claims a member of the McCann family has asked her to take a DNA test, however this has not been confirmed. The 21-year-old has since shared a string of photographs she claims prove her likeness to Madeleine and her parents, Kate and Gerry McCann. [@iammadeleinemcann](https://www.instagram.com/iammadeleinemccan/), which she has used to share “evidence” that she is the missing girl.
