Woman who believes she may be Madeleine McCann to get DNA results in weeks as she shares cancer scare in US | The Sun

THE woman who believes she may be Madeleine McCann is set to receive DNA results in the next few weeks which should tell her exactly where she and her true family are from.

Julia Wandelt revealed she believed she could be missing Maddie on social media around three weeks ago – claiming she had similar facial features, suffered an abusive childhood and had started to question her parentage.

The case is now being investigated by private detective Dr Fia Johansson who flew Julia from Poland to Los Angeles last week after she started receiving threats and vile messages from online haters.

Dr. Johansson arranged for Julia to give samples in the US for detailed DNA tests – including a DNA test similar to a 23andMe test, which will establish her ancestry – and the results are due back in the next few weeks.

Julia is also facing a nervous wait for the results of further health tests as doctors fear she may have leukaemia, Dr Johansson – with Julia's permission – revealed to The Sun.

She said: “We are still waiting on the result of DNA testing that will show us exactly what Julia’s ethnic background is and what country she and her true family are from. These kinds of tests are very accurate.

"Of course depending on the result of that we will continue our investigation to see if Julia is could be Madeleine or another missing person.

“But now the focus is on Julia as a person – not Madeleine.

“She has had a neglected childhood and suffered much abuse.

“Her health is very poor she has bad asthma and she suffers lots of pain in her bones.

“She is booked in for a CT and MRI scan because of the pain in her bones.

“Her blood work is also abnormal so my doctor here in the US is investigating whether she could have leukaemia so we are awaiting the results of that. And if she needs any treatment we will make sure she gets that."

Julia was whisked to the US last weekend after being barraged with threats – with one message even claiming there was a 30,000 euro bounty on her head.

Authorities in Poland and California are both investigating the threats made against her after Dr Johansson and Julia filed reports in both countries.

Dr Johansson, who spent almost a week in Poland investigating Julia's claims and trying to get her parents to give a DNA test, said Julia is now enjoying her time in the States.

She posted pictures of the 21-year-old posing on Hollywood Boulevard on the famous walk of fame and other tourist spots on Instagram.

"Despite everything she has gone through she is much happier here in the US. She is honestly like a different person," Dr Johansson said.

“She is staying with me in my home and my family has welcomed her with open arms – they love her.

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

“And she feels much safer here in the US since we flew from Poland and reported all the threats she has received to police.

“People keep asking me why I’m helping her and I don’t understand why people even have to ask this.

“I am helping a woman in need who asked for help and support. It’s not about money or followers or anything like that – I had that before Julia. The world is a cruel place if people can’t understand a human being helping another human being.”

Dr Johansson documented Julia's first journey to the US on social media.

"Thanks for the extra protection I love you USA," Dr Johansson wrote on her Instagram page after landing at LAX airport last week. "Welcome to USA Julia – the land of love and dreams."

In a video posted on Instagram at the airport, Julia said she felt like an "angel" or "celebrity" after landing in America and thanked Dr Johansson for flying her over.

QUESTIONS ABOUT HER PAST

Previously Dr Johnasson has The Sun her number one priority was Julia's safety and finding answers for her.

"The haters have been attacking Julia since she came forward," she said.

"The situation in Poland is she has nobody. Her family won't talk to her.

"Julia has never said, 'I am Madeleine McCann'. She has lots of questions about her past and she asked for help. We are open to all possibilities."

Madeleine McCann was three, nearly four, when she went missing from her family's apartment on holiday in Portugal on May 3, 2007.

Her parents, Gerry and Kate, had left her sleeping with her siblings while they had dinner at the hotel's restaurant – only realising at about 10pm that she was gone.

Julia says she believes she could be Maddie because she says she was sexually abused by a man she believes was a suspect in the Madeleine McCann case.

She also points out she has moles in similar positions to Madeleine's and a marking in her eye, similar to Madeleine's coloboma, which means her pupil is a different shape.

Julia's family in Poland have so far refused to take a DNA test but have denied the claims saying they're "devastated".

Dr Johansson – also known as the Persian Medium – says she has worked with law enforcement on cases around the world after realising she had psychic "gifts" as a child.
