Woman who claims to be Madeleine McCann takes DNA test.

[quote]Her family are refusing to take DNA tests of their own. They have denied her claims, and have apparently blocked Wendell’s number.

Because they know what really happened to Madeleine.

Not that I think this woman is the missing girl, but the family not doing DNA tests is super sketchy. If a member of my biological family member were missing of course that’d be one of the first things I’d do.

Agree, ElderLez!

Well, if it's her, at least we know they fed her well.

how does she explain aging the extra two years?

This has Anastasia echoes.

[quote]how does she explain aging the extra two years?

Maybe the family lied about her age, and she's actually 19.

Are you fools really buying this manic liars story? Come on.

The parents will no doubt have been told by police by now that "Our Madeleine" was definitely killed by that German pedo and her body dumped somewhere and will never be found, that's why there's no point in them entertaining this DNA test nonsense.

Call me crazy, but identifying my loved ones remains and providing a proper burial or cremation would be a reason to get a DNA test.

If they do a DNA test for this obvious wack job, it’ll open the door for further torment down the road. I’m no fan of the McCanns, but I can understand why they won’t entertain this sicko.

R10 But we're not talking about identifying remains are we, it's some random woman who claims to be their daughter. As R11 says, you do it once you'll have to do it a hundred times.

Agree with R11. This is a random crackpot being exploited by another crackpot for publicity. Two grifters. The family would be crazy to do anything to give them the publicity they want.

Agreed about this woman. I don’t understand why they hadn’t already done a DNA test. It’a not like you need to keep doing them. It’s one and done.

It's possibly they already have, ElderLez but it's kept on file to test against actual remains not random people with baseless claims.

They got Anna Anderson's DNA info from hospital records.

it's probably similar to the plot of the most recent Orphan movie

[quote]Call me crazy, but identifying my loved ones remains and providing a proper burial or cremation would be a reason to get a DNA test.

Call me crazy but wouldn't you want some remains to test against first?

Is the the Polish woman who was in the news a few weeks ago or has another one emerged?

I don't remember chunksch of my childhood either!

By her "family" this article is not referencing the McCanns. It's not the McCanns who are refusing to do the DNA test. It's this woman's (supposed) biological family. They're also the ones who have blocked her number. Either they know that she's an attention-seeking nut or they have something to hide. It could be that she was abducted or that there's something sinister in her history, but that doesn't mean that she's Madeleine McCann (whom she does not resemble at all).

And yes, this is the Polish woman. Here's another article.

wrong nose

That's Madeleine McDonalds!

Shut the fuck up ElderLez. You sound like a whack job. This person doesn't even the minimum threshold of being the same AGE as the victim or resembling her in the slightest. Idiot!

Why's a Pole called Julia Wendell? Did she get married?

[quote]Shut the fuck up ElderLez. You sound like a whack job. This person doesn't even the minimum threshold of being the same AGE as the victim or resembling her in the slightest. Idiot!

Calm the fuck down, Mrs. McCann, you're no longer a suspect!

R21 thank you for making that point. Her family is likely long-suffering and sick of her shit. These nuts try a lot before they hit the jackpot with a big international news story. They likely don’t want to give her any more fuel for her delusions.

That's not Madeleine McCann, it's the guy from Little Britain in a wig

Suffering? Who the fuck leaves a 3-year-old alone in a hotel room?

her parents have always crossed me as arrogant pieces of shit, esp the father

Madeleine's family is sketchy as fuck.

It DOES have Anastasia vibes, except what is to gain, the McCanns are not Royalty?

Clout chasing in tragedy is really gross.

R28, how low Emily Howard, Lady, has fallen.

[quote] but the family not doing DNA tests is super sketchy.

Disagree — that would just validate this obviously concocted story, and the specimens running this scam would then just profit from the little girl’s disappearance.

R30 He may be arrogant but I always wanted him to fuck me hard with that incredible hairy body of his!

R24, cut her some slack. She's got have something to Eeyore about now she can't scare everybody over COVID.

R32 - isn't there a reward?

I’m surprised the family doesn’t have their DNA on file so these kinds of claims can be easily sorted

Surely she’s too much of a moon-faced milk pudding to be little Maddie.

R38 Then someone could steal it, take a sample from theirs, submit it as their own and create the illusion of a DNA match.

Shit, yeah, I never thought of that!

If hospital thrillers have taught us anything it's that all you need is a white coat for full access.

I know, because that happens all the time in real life. I wish thrillers would do something original for once.

One of Madeleine’s eyes has a tear drop shaped pupil. Does this woman have this? The ‘parents murdered Maddie’ crowd have as much evidence as the ‘Biden stole the election’ crowd’. None. Her parents have done everything they can to keep the case active, which seems a strange tactic if they are murderers. This women sounds unwell.

When they talk about family, are they talking about the McCanns, or the "adoptive family" as in the ones that kidnapped her. I agree with finding the truth, no matter what the outcome.

Stranger things have happened.

[quote]Julia Wendell, 21, is currently in California, US, having been whisked from her home country

I got a free trip from Bangkok to Denver

[quote] the family not doing DNA tests is super sketchy.

So? Just go through their garbage lots o' DNA in there

[quote]One of Madeleine’s eyes has a tear drop shaped pupil. Does this woman have this?

According to photos, yes, but the photos could have been edited of course.

Good grief, this woman’s actual family in Poland have put up with enough crap thanks to a daughter who craved publicity. They’ve put everything on file with the Polish authorities, and now refuse to give interviews to, or play ball with, the media. Sounds like they understand that the more this is worked up into something it’s not, the worse the aftermath will be for a young woman with mental health problems.

There was some delusional cunt on Dr. Phil who claimed she was Etta James reincarnated......and she was more believable than this woman.

I don't think this lady is just doing it for publicity, the stories she told sounded delusional, not aggrandizing. Also, the fact that the police in Poland only said they "ruled out" the idea that she was Madeleine but were still investigating makes me wonder what's going on. What are they investigating?

Surely the family or the police would have released some kind of information to show that she couldn't be Madeleine, instead of just saying "she's not" and then clamming up.

R51 I agree. She's obviously traumatized in some way, possibly/probably abused or mentally ill or something else. She doesn't come across as your garden-variety opportunistic grifter. Just because she's not Madeleine McCann doesn't mean that she hasn't been through something sinister--real or imagined--in her past. I could well imagine her fantasizing (or believing) that she's that cute little missing (and famous) girl in order to rewrite her past.

Which family won’t do a DNA test?

[quote] Just because she's not Madeleine McCann doesn't mean that she hasn't been through something sinister

She comes across as a tiktoker who self-diagnoses herself as a variety of things.

Is this a shortcut to a construction work/barmaid job in the UK for a Polish person these days? Those work permits must've dried up with Brexit.

I read that there is no documentation of her existing prior to age 5. The police have a record of her being molested as a child. There are several families they will check (I assume they’ll give DNA) if she doesn’t match with the McCanns. They live in the US abd Switzerland. Her own mom refused to participate with a DNA test.

R53 Her own family; the ones who had (or raised) her.

I LOVED her work. Her role as Eunice Burns in "What's Up Doc" is priceless.

I don't know why anyone took Mark Carr seriously when he claimed to be JonBenets killer.

R50 Beyoncé was on Dr Phil?!

My father was John McCain, he's dead!

Remember the Ukrainian midget who said she was like 8 and lived alone for years, but was really a 30 year old woman??

The killer dwarf, R62! Nightmares!!!!!

The parents aborted her.

When it comes to kids, you've got to watch those foreign factions.

To think of her out there after all this time, what a nightmare!

[quote]To think of her out there after all this time, what a nightmare!

And maybe alive! Right?

This should be a reality TV show: “Who Might Be the Next Madeline McCann?” Start with about 30 white women with blond hair in a mansion and have them compete with each other to prove they are Madeline. At the end of the night the loser of the episode gets a cheek swab while everyone waits for the DNA results. When the loser is announced they get a coupon to a local Portuguese restaurant with a hearty “Sorry, you are not OUR Madeleine!” from the parents.

Don't give Andy Cohen or Ryan Seacrest any ideas, r68!

This DNA test is taking FOREVER.

We ALL know by now that DNA tests are seldom really very conclusive.

Madeleine is fine, she's now Madalena and is drinking Port! Yes, she sends her love!

I would think she’s too young to be Madeline Kahn’s daughter.

I'm Madeleine McCann!!

His last name was McCain , and he is DEAD!

It would be an awesome story if she turns out to be the real daughter

R76 A real Elizabeth Smart story, will Madeline’s father then come out as Gay too?

That's not her. Looks nothing like Madeline. Too much of a peasant potato face.

She's probably either just a fame whore or the real deal. Or she could be both. Let the DNA test end it all so everybody can move on.

R40 well then take measures to prevent theft, and follow up and matches with a second test.

Ewww, if it's her, we don't want her, she got fat!

She does look like a typical Eastern European peasant. If she was stolen as a baby, it wasn't McCanns she was taken from. It'll probably turn out that an aunt is the actual mother, some typical Catholic unwed mother fuckery.

One of her most "compelling" pieces of evidence that she points to about her childhood is the insistence that she started kindergarten a bit later in the school year than the other children (an assertion she claims is allegedly backed up by her former teacher). She says this teacher also claims she had a lot of nervous energy, tics, and other "obvious" trauma symptoms.

But wouldn't this teacher have also noticed if this little girl who started a bit late in the school year also had a fucking British accent and didn't speak a word of Polish??

Madeleine is in the sea now, probably drinking margaritas with SpongeBob.

I'm Natalee Holloway!

Where’s Maury when you need him?

Dakota Fanning wants the screen rights for her comeback vehicle.

R79 "She's probably either just a fame whore or the real deal. Or she could be both. Let the DNA test end it all so everybody can move on."

Wow, very decisive and insightful

She is the spitting image of her parents.

The DNA will be the final arbiter.

What is playing on her ipod?

I have confidence.

Is that some kind of Polish M3gan?

She does indeed look just like the father ! Interesting.

Viola Davis IS Madeleine McCann!

How long is this DNA test going to take? She doesn’t look like a McCann to me.

She's two years older than Madeline. That makes no sense. The whole language thing as well just makes no sense. It'd be far out if she was Madeline's half sibling from an affair the father had.

I think something truly did happen to this young lady back when she was a child. Hopefully she'll be able to get the help she needs. Something is up with her family if her own mother won't take a DNA test.

I believe her

She may have The Cancer now!

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

I think that's been abundantly clear.

Will the real Madeleine McCann please stand up?

Please, I beg you!

How fucked up was your childhood, when you hope to be Madeline McCann? This is so sick and sad. Hopefully, she gets help. It is not likely that she is madeleine because she looks exactly like the parents that raised her.

She may have cancer.

Or a need for attention.

R104 Oh, for fucks sake.

🤔 🧐.

She reminds me of the killer dwarf.

Lock your doors, whores!

R108 She wasn't a killer dwarf, it's the parents who were the psychos!

How cool would it be if it really were her??

R111 With a face that ugly? I’d rather my daughter be dead.

R111 I for one would really enjoy seeing Kate "our little girl's perfect genitals" McCann finding out her daughter is a Fatty McFug.

This woman is not Madeleine McCann. Madeleine had a heart-shaped face, not a potato face.

This woman must be nuts. She doesn't look like she could be that child. See above^^.

R89 - bloody hell, how does she not think she is related to her parents?! Literally like you merged their faces and made her!

R116 Mental illness is how.

So anyway - [bold]IS[/bold] she Madeleine McCann?

R118 Even if she is, who cares now, she’ll be dead of convenient cancer by Christmas.

[quote]How long is this DNA test going to take?

I figure I can stretch it out for eight episodes.

Easy.

^😂😂

Much to no one's surprise, she ain't her.

[quote]The tests revealed that Julia Wendell, 21, is not the missing girl. Wendell has near 100 per cent Polish heritage, with no evidence of British or even German ancestry, according to spokeswoman Dr. Fia Johansson.

She an attention-seeking wacknut. Her REAL family has already said she has some screws loose and altered her birth certificate in some way to help bolster her claim.

Cuckoo!

Did her DNA test tell her who she was? Is she connected to anyone famous? Maybe a Russian Czar’s great great grandchild?

This shocking twist has floored me.

“Wendell” doesn’t sound very Polish to me. Her parents look crazy Polish, but she could be any European, IMO.

Anna Anderson redux. I feel sorry for legit nutbars like her, but only contempt for the supporters who ought to know better.

In a statement released via Polish missing persons organisation, Missing Years Ago, Julia’s family said: “For us, as a family, it is obvious that Julia is our daughter, granddaughter, sister, niece, cousin and step-niece. We have memories, we have pictures.”

The family said Julia also has these, “because she took them from the family home with the birth certificate, as well as numerous hospital discharges”.

“We always tried to understand all situations that happened with Julia,” the statement explained, before continuing, “Numerous therapies, medicines, psychologists and psychiatrists – were all provided to Julia. She wasn’t left alone.

“Threats to our address from Julia, her lies and manipulations, activity on the internet. We’ve seen it all and we’ve tried to prevent it, to explain, we’ve asked her to stop.”

The family said it has always tried to “help her get back on her feet”.

Has Princess Anastasia weighed in on these exciting developments yet?
