Madeleine McCann case: The 3 other girls who said they were the missing girl before Julia Wendell

More than 15 years have passed since the little one madeleine mccann, three years old, disappeared in Praia da Luz. In 2007, the McCann family visited the Portuguese Algarve for a vacation. One of the nights, Madeleine slept with her brothers in her flat while her parents, Kate and Gerry McCann, dined at a restaurant 50 meters from her house.

Although they made several rounds to check that the children were okay, both they and other friendly couples, in one of these checks they discovered their worst nightmare: little Madeleine was missing. Since then thousands of theories have been discussed, several culprits have been pointed out and no solution has been given to the loss of the English girl, a mysterious case that seems never to be solved.

Now a 21 year old Polish girl living in Germany, julia wellell, claims to believe it is Madeleine McCann. The girl has this theory since her family began refusing to provide information about her past, as well as denying her a birth certificate, among other things. Additionally, she Julia shares many physical similarities with Madeleine, such as right eye pointa rare coloboma.

The girl created an Instagram profile (@iammadeleinemcann) to try to make her quarrel visible and get in touch with the parents of the child and carry out a DNA test with them, since her current family does not want to carry out this test. According to the young woman on her Instagram, the couple agreed to get tested, but they haven’t spoken to her. It should be noted that the couple have been receiving phone calls for years claiming to know where the girl is, so it is normal that they are reluctant to believe Julia.

Julia Wendell isn’t the first to claim to be Madeleine

During all these years, the investigation into Madeleine’s case failed to find out what happened that night in the Portuguese holiday town. How is it possible that a 3-year-old girl disappeared without a trace in minutes and with her parents 50 meters away?

As time went on and faced with an investigation that couldn’t answer the question, the public wanted to contribute their grain of sand, and many reached out to the McCann family, believing they had some leads. In addition, some girls have come forward claiming that they themselves are the missing girl.

Harriet Brooks, a student from Manchester

Almost six years ago, in 2017, a university student from Manchester nominated Harriet Brooke She claimed to have the same brown spot on Madeleine’s iris and the same mole on Madeleine’s right thigh. Harriet’s case came to light because she shared her concern about her with a friend, which went public on Twitter. “Guys, I don’t usually believe in conspiracy theories, but I honestly think I’m Madeleine McCann. I’m Madeleine McCann and I don’t know what to do with myself,” Brookes said.

The theory quickly fell apart as Harriet was in college and Madeleine was only 14 at the time. In the end, the girl confessed that it was all a joke gone too far.

Maddie, a “tik toker” with very little grace

When Madeleine should have turned 18, another girl appeared claiming to be the missing girl. She is Maddie, a tik toker 21-year-old who started comparing various photos of herself as a child with Madeleine.

Although he soon admitted that it was a joke, many of his followers have asked him to take a DNA test, since then the resemblance of both girls was truly striking.

Embla Jauhojärvi, the Swedish girl who lived on the streets of Rome

The first girl to achieve some prominence claiming to be Madeleine was a young Swedish woman named Embla Jauhorjärvi. The girl lived on the streets of Rome and she claimed to be English and her name was Maria. Many media have spread the case and the images of Embla, as evidenced by an article in the sun.

Due to all the hoopla and the fact that the media started echoing the possibility that Madeleine was in the Italian town, Embla’s father came out to deny the report saying that his daughter had Asperger’s syndrome and that he ran away from home months ago. Another fact that excluded the Swedish woman was her age, since she was 21 when she should have been 13.
