A woman living in Poland, Julia Wendel, has claimed that she is the same girl in the case of a girl who went missing 16 years ago that gained international fame.
This claim of a Polish woman is going viral on social media, the woman is holding a poster with a picture of a girl and an appeal to find her, according to the woman, this girl is her.
Background of the incident
16 years ago in May 2007, a British family vacationed in Portugal, where one night while the parents were at a nearby restaurant for dinner, their 3-year-old daughter, Madeleine McCann, went missing.
The girl was present with her younger brother at the resort where the family was staying.
The police found the door of the room broken, on which the girl’s abduction was suspected.
The family soon involved the local and British media in the case, after which the case gained international fame and people from all over the world started praying for the 3-year-old girl’s safety and safe return home.
Even a few well-known personalities, including British and Portuguese footballers David Beckham and Cristiano Ronaldo, appealed to find the girl. British author JK Rowling also announced her contribution to a multi-million pound reward for the girl’s whistleblower.
However, all these efforts were in vain and the police of both the countries failed to trace the girl despite frantic efforts.
Meanwhile, the girl’s parents were also accused that the girl had died in an accident for which they had faked a disappearance to avoid responsibility.
The girl’s parents had to go through formal investigation stages, but a Portuguese court acquitted the parents and ordered the local police to pay them damages.
A woman living in the girl’s neighborhood in the UK was also ordered to pay damages, accused by some British newspapers of being involved with the parents in the girl’s death or disappearance.
10 years later in 2017, German and British police arrested a 43-year-old German national who was involved in the heinous crimes of kidnapping and raping children, according to the police, the disappearance of Madeleine is also connected to this man or his racket.
Now, after a Polish woman claims that she is Madeleine McCann, a new debate has been sparked.
So far, not much information has been revealed about her life, where she lived and what happened to her during that time, but she says that a British family has contacted her and offered to do a DNA test to identify her. The bereaved can meet the family.
