Polish woman claiming to be Madeleine McCann is not the missing girl, confirms DNA test

DNA test results have proved that a 21-year-old Polish woman, Julia Faustyna, who claimed to be Madeleine McCann, is not the missing British girl, who disappeared during a family holiday in Portugal in 2007. Faustyna had been making claims on social media platforms, such as Instagram and TikTok, citing shared age and physical appearance as evidence of her identity. She also submitted samples for three forensic examinations to outline her DNA sequence and for a genetic test to establish her ancestry. Faustyna’s parents, who insist that they are the woman’s biological relatives, also confirmed that she is their daughter and not Madeleine.

Private investigator Fia Johansson revealed the DNA test results and confirmed that Faustyna is 100% Polish, with a small percentage of Lithuanian and Russian ancestry. Faustyna had accused her mother of hiding her ancestry and changing the subject whenever she asked about her birth, and also claimed that her mother was not pregnant in any photos she had seen. However, her parents denied the allegations, saying that Faustyna had stolen her own birth certificate and childhood photos to support her false claims.

Since 2011, police investigating the disappearance of Madeleine have spent about $16 million till now on Operation Grange and are expected to receive $370,000 in new funding for the probe into what happened to the abducted girl. Meanwhile, Faustyna, who is also known as Julia Wendell or Julia Wandelt in some reports, has stated that even if she were not Madeleine, she would still not want contact with her Polish family. Madeleine’s parents have not commented publicly on Faustyna’s claims.
