Of course not." Last month, Julia's family – who until then had maintained their silence over the case – said it was "obvious" she wasn't Madeleine and claimed they had "begged her to stop" In a statement published on behalf of the family by the Polish missing persons organisation Missing Years Ago, they said: "For us as a family it is obvious that Julia is our daughter, granddaughter, sister, niece, cousin and step niece. "She still [went] through a lot of pain and she still needs my help, your help, and all the world[’s] women's help," she said.

The 21-year-old also claims to have very few memories of her childhood, and Dr Johansson says she found no hospital records in Wroclaw – the city she supposedly grew up in – from the first five years of her life. "The mother of Juila [is begging] for help as a mother, as a sister, as a very very very hopeless person," she said in a live video on "To me it was like wow, the mother [...] saying to everyone that I am concerned and worried about my daughter, and then all of a sudden, [...] instead of communicating with the spokesperson, or the investigator, or the person named Fia that’s helping the daughter, choosing to go to some fan-page, UK-based, and saying all those things." But Dr Fia Johansson, the private investigator and self-professed psychic helping the 21-year-old discover her identity through DNA tests, said she felt "sorry" for Julia's mum and reiterated she wouldn't give up on the case.

Madeleine McCann: Polish girl Julia Wendell's claim, suspects, NZ's ... (New Zealand Herald)

Maddie would have turned 20 this year. Here's what we know, and NZ's link to the case.

It is human nature to want to know the truth. It was a route the family took a number of times during their stay. They were the very people that Western media thought they were speaking to - white, middle-class families. Portuguese police suggested that Monteiro, who was previously employed at the resort where the McCanns were staying, may have kidnapped Maddie as part of a burglary gone wrong. Several witnesses reported possible sightings of Maddie in Morocco, a country on the trafficking route to Mauritania. Another theory is that Maddie woke up during the night and went looking for her parents. He had been living in a campervan just kilometres away from the Ocean Club at the time she disappeared and has a history of sexually abusing children. “It’s not forensic evidence but evidence and because of our evidence, we are sure he is the murderer of Madeleine McCann. The woman contacted police and also a 24-hour Find Madeleine hotline. Her cot was empty and all that was visible were a blanket and a cuddly toy. Gerry responded to some questions, but Kate refused to answer any of the 48 questions she was asked over an intense 11-hour interrogation period. As the sun rose on May 4, there was still no sign of Maddie.

They keep people's interest alive,” he said. "We should continue to raise awareness and to encourage you people to reflect on where they were in 2007, to reflect on what they might have heard, to reflect on the behaviours they may have observed in others who were in proximity at that time, and to think about whether now is the time to come forward and talk to the authorities," Mr Gamble said. Maybe that's because of misplaced loyalty. Maybe that's because they don't actually realise the significance of the small piece of information that they have." Former police officers who spent years working on the Madeleine McCann case have revealed they are close to uncovering what happened to the British toddler in 2007.

Julia Wendell's investigator Dr Fia Johansson has said that results on several DNA and genetics tests could come back by the end of the week.

She said: “I believe that this isn’t Madeleine McCann – obviously DNA is the only thing that would prove it. Among her evidence is her claim that she looks similar to e-fits predicting what Madeleine would look like today, at age 19, and members of the McCann family. The investigator also issued an update on Julia's DNA results, which she hopes will reveal whether she's Madeleine. Despite the supposed evidence, however, experts have been sceptical about Julia's claim. The Doctor had pleaded with viewers on Instagram to have Julia in their prayers as she said they awaited test results that could come back any day now. This is according to an investigator, Dr Fia Johansson, who has undertaken three different DNA samples and a genetics test on Julia Wendell who has claimed to be the British girl. “[She could also match] anyone else out there looking for their kid that may [be] missing at that time.” A second is her health.

She says this is the first time she has experienced love or felt like she belonged in a family."
