Julia Wandelt forced into hiding over multiple death threats after claiming to be Madeleine McCann
LONDON, ENGLAND: Julia Wandelt, who claims she's the missing British girl Madeleine McCann, is reportedly being whisked out of her hometown to an undisclosed safe house following a slew of death threats against her. Dr Fia Johansson, a self-professed private investigator and psychic, said Julia has already endured multiple threats to her life.
Fia said Julia was almost lured into hotels by pedophiles following her claims that she's indeed the missing three-year-old who mysteriously disappeared in 2007 while on a family vacation in Portugal. Furthermore, the duo is said to have ruffled some feathers in Wroclaw, a city about 200 miles west of Warsaw, after failed attempts to convince Julia's uncooperative biological parents to take a paternity test and track down the pervert who allegedly raped her as a child.

Concerns for Julia's safety
“I just want to make sure she is in a safe place until we actually figure out exactly where and how we are going conduct the DNA tests,” Fia told Radar Online. “I do not want to disclose the location because I don’t want people to come after her and basically try to harm her.” Twenty one-year-old Julia dominated headlines after claiming she's Madeleine on an Instagram account with the handle @IAmMadeleineMcCann. “I think I can be Madeleine,” she wrote in her bio when the account first appeared on February 18. “I need a DNA test… Police investigators from UK and Poland try to ignore me. I will tell my story in posts here. Help me.”
Julia claimed she had matching freckles on her leg and cheek and also had a coloboma in her right eye just like the missing toddler. Furthermore, she claimed her grandmother told her "something" about the McCann case and that she found a family photo of a creep who allegedly raped her as a child -- someone who resembled the composite sketch of a suspect wanted in Madeleine's disappearance. Just three days after the discovery, three perverts claiming to be friends with the McCanns reportedly tried to lure her into hotels. However, their plans were foiled by Fia's investigators who knew something wasn't right. “It is a very sad situation and scary for her,” the psychic told Radar Online.
'She wanted to call the police'
Julia's social media accounts were temporarily shut down after a 300,000 Euro ($320,000) bounty was allegedly placed on her head. While the threat later turned out to be a “group of young girls” pulling a prank, it terrified Julia nonetheless. “Julia suffered an anxiety attack, broke down, and began crying uncontrollably,” Fia said. “She was scared, and she wanted to call the police.” According to the private investigator, Julia's entire family has turned their backs on her and her biological parents are refusing to carry out a DNA test.
After receiving no help from family members, the duo ended up unearthing a 2018 criminal complaint Julia filed against the man who allegedly raped her to see if he is linked to McCann's kidnapping. The complaint was later withdrawn after her mother instructed her to “keep her mouth shut” because they would both "end up dead" if she spoke of the alleged assault. The same pervert was reportedly released from a Polish prison in 2012 after serving 2.5 years in prison for molestation, per court documents shared on Julia's Instagram page, which has since been taken down. “Right now, Julia is stable despite all the excitement over the past couple of days,” Fia told Radar Online, adding, “She is still very concerned about her safety. She has trust issues and it’s all coming out now because of the trauma she endured as a child and the neglect she dealt with from her parents.”
