US talk show host Dr Phil has broken his silence on the four ‘clues’ that make Julia Wendell think she is missing Madeleine McCann.
Julia, who is 21 and also goes by the names Julia Faustyna and Julia Wandelt, went on Dr. Phil’s show to talk about her claims that she is Madeleine, who went missing in 2007 while on holiday with her family in Portugal. She was just three years old.
Now, Julia, a Polish woman, talked about why she thinks she is Madeleine. She said that Madeleine’s picture when she was 17 made her think about the similarities between them.
Four pictures showed the so-called “similarities” between her and Madeleine, including a possible mark on both of their faces in the same place.
Dr. Phil, on the other hand, said that the mark on Julia’s face looks like a dimple and not a birthmark like Madeleine’s.
The child was also known to have a problem with her iris. Dr. Phil put pictures of both girls’ faces together to compare, and Julia told him, “It’s a little less noticeable now, but yes.”
She has also shown freckles on her cheek and leg that look like they are in the same spots as the child’s.
“All right, so you think you look a lot like her at those ages and that you have the same problem with your iris as she did,” Dr. Phil said on the show.
Julia said, “There’s also the way you move your face. When I laugh, my eyes close a little, like in the picture at the bottom of the screen.
“When I laugh, I look like I do in pictures from when I was a teenager.”
Julia also claims her mother – who insists she gave birth to her – “refuses” to show her any proof, including images from her childhood.
She is waiting on ancestry results, including three DNA samples and a genetic test, to prove if she is or is not missing girl Madeleine.
In February, Julia’s parents put out a statement that said, “It’s clear to us as a family that Julia is our daughter, granddaughter, sister, niece, cousin, and step niece.
“Julia made threats about our address, lied and tricked us, and did things on the internet. People won’t forget the interest, and it’s clear that Julia isn’t Maddie. We are heartbroken by what is happening now.”
It comes after people who study faces said Ava-X said that Julia can’t be Madeleine because it’s “practically impossible.”
