LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: A mysterious skull fracture suffered by the woman claiming to be the missing Madeleine McCann apparently erased her childhood memories of repeated abuse and alleged sex trafficking, newly uncovered medical records show. Julia Wandelt, the woman claiming to be the missing girl, also goes by the names Julia Wendell and Julia Faustyna.

The injury left Julia Wandelt, who was 8 years old at the time, unable to speak and walk for more than a year, her caretaker and private investigator Dr Fia Johannson, said after obtaining nearly 500 pages of the young woman’s medical records from a hospital in Wroclaw, Poland. The results of her injury were conspicuous during Wandelt's first on-camera interview with RadarOnline where she recalled flashback memories about her childhood along with trips to exotic tropical locations accompanied by unknown men.

Wandelt recalled staying at luxurious beachfront hotels which according to her resembled the Portuguese resort town of Praia da Luz, the very same place where McCann was kidnapped in 2007 while vacationing with her parents. Wandelt, now 21, retrieved a composition notebook decorated with butterflies and plants during the exclusive interview inside her Los Angeles safe house to show where she pens the random and sometimes non-sequential memories of her fragmented childhood.

Wandelt recalls the terror of paragliding with a man 

Wandelt recalled the terror of paragliding with a man while she reportedly dressed only in a T-shirt and underwear. In another instance, she remembers a man gifting her a blue belly dancing outfit at a market in a poor tropical village. Wandelt also remembered hiding in a bathroom stall with another young Polish girl. She said, "We shouted and cried, panicked, we didn’t want to (leave the) toilet," RadarOnline reports. 

Investigators are trying to find what led to Wandelt's injury

Dr Johannson said her team of investigators is in Poland, trying to find out how Wandelt was injured and also the person who took her to the hospital where she underwent emergency surgery to reduce brain swelling. “It shows that some of them or all of them or one of them wanted to get rid of her,” Dr Johannson told the outlet while referring to Wandelt’s childhood caretakers. “Or complicate her life where she would not be able to walk or talk or say anything. It seems like they purposely tried to do it.” “She does not remember any of it!” she said, adding that records showed Wandelt entered the hospital in a state of coma on February 17, 2009. 

Wandelt read some of the harrowing events from her notebook

During the interview, Wandelt detailed some of the bone-chilling memories from her notebook. “I remember that I was in a pool room where there was only a sofa and very old T.V. and someone, I think my mom, turned on the TV and I could watch a movie for children and later I said to her I don’t really understand what they said in this movie….And she talked at this time with men in the other room and she didn’t care that I didn’t understand it,” Wandelt said.

She recalled an odd incident where was riding a camel in the desert and staying at two hotels. She and another girl locked themselves in a bathroom stall to avoid an unknown terror. “I had a friend there, and I think she was Polish….I remember that we talk in other language and sometimes we couldn’t understand each other. We closed ourselves in the toilet in (a) very luxurious place and we shouted and cried, panicked, we didn’t want to (leave the) toilet. We panicked. And after some time, someone opened the door and we saw many people out there."

She spoke about spending the disturbing day paragliding with a stranger while wearing only a T-shirt and underwear. “I remember that I was paragliding with (an) older man that I didn’t know, and I didn’t want it, I mean paragliding, and I was very scared and stress(ful). And I remember that all day, all the time I vomited. I remember I was in a T-shirt and panties only, without any shorts or skirt. I remember it was a very luxurious place. I remember there were camels on the beach.” Wandelt said that she remembers eating tacos for the first time with another stranger who taught her to use a fork and knife while eating. “It’s hard to understand, how it’s possible that (my parents) …. they have the money (to) go to very luxurious place(s),” Wandelt told the outlet. 

'What’s the delay with this DNA test?!'

Twitter users also reacted to the news. One user asked, "What’s the delay with this DNA test?! Surely it doesn’t take this long nowadays", while another tweeted, "Surely her parents, school friends etc remember her not being Maddy." One user wrote, "I think we can safely conclude that the DNA test was negative, but they’ll try to drag this story out for as long as they can." One user opined, "All of which is completely IRRELEVANT until a DNA test is carried out …" "Possibly this is a complete load of bollocks", wrote another one.
