'We have lots to reveal': Madeleine McCann lookalike Julia Wandelt posts footage of meeting with PI probing claims
WARSAW, POLAND: The 21-year-old Polish woman who claims to be Madeleine McCann has said that she has "lots to reveal" after finally interacting with the private investigator and psychic looking into her assertions. Julia Wandelt went viral after she shared "evidence" on Instagram suggesting she is Madeleine, who suddenly disappeared on a family holiday in Praia da Luz, Portugal, in 2007.
Dr Fia Johansson, a self-proclaimed medium who has worked on multiple missing people cases with police in the US, sent an investigative team to a town near the Poland-Germany border to find out the legitimacy of Wandelt's claims.

Julia Wandelt's claims
Julia Wandelt has claimed that she does not remember a large part of her childhood and was abused by a German pedophile who looks identical to the suspect in Madeleine's disappearance. She also said she had a speck in her eye similar to the missing Leicestershire girl.
Wandelt was ecstatic to share the footage of their meeting on her Instagram Story after Dr Johansson flew to Poland herself. "We have lots to reveal," she wrote in the post. "I was with her team in the past couple of days now my dream come true I am finally with Fia. Finally, I'm with Dr. Fia [sic]." In the following posts, she described it as her "luckiest day ever" and said she will be "forever thankful".
Wandelt contemplating legal action
Dr Johansson previously said that Wandelt's parents were refusing to take a DNA test. Multiple reports also stated that she was contemplating legal action in order to force their hand. The doctor told RadarOnline her team of investigators have spotted dubious emails and messages sent to Julia while probing her claims.
"My investigators found out three pedophiles were trying to lure Julia to hotels saying they were McCann family friends trying to solve the Madeleine mystery. It is truly a sad situation," she told the outlet. Dr Johansson has disclosed the details of where Julia was brought up, suggesting she could have gone unnoticed as a child if she was actually Madeleine.
“They are living in a very small town where they wouldn't have had TV or news going on," she told the Fitzy and Wippa radio show. “It is not like other places that are big cities, it was a very, very, very small town. We are investigating right now her teachers, her school, friends and also close family members to figure out what exactly is going on. There's a lot of people who say 'oh she's 21, she shouldn't be 21', but...a fake birth certificate could be two years younger or two years older, especially when you're talking about that town and that place. My sense is that something is missing – there is a puzzle that is not really connecting with each other.”
