Julia Wandelt: Woman who claims she's Madeleine McCann asks police psychic Fia Johansson for help after major backlash
LONDON, ENGLAND: Julia Wandelt, who also goes by Julia Faustyna or Julia Wendell, made headlines for her now-public belief that she was the missing toddler Madeleine McCann. After facing immense backlash from public and her family, as she has reportedly claimed, she has hired a police psychic to investigate her case. McCann went missing in a hotel in Portugal during a family trip in 2007, when she was barely four. Wandelt has claimed she had "solid" evidence to prove she was the missing child.
Her proof includes photos, which show her having freckles in the same place as McCann and a speck in her eye. While her claims began gaining momentum on Instagram, it has also made a section of netizens angry, with some calling her an opportunist. Amidst the social media-storm, The Daily Star reported that Wandelt has now employed the services of Fia Johansson, famously known as Persian Medium, as per her website.
