Julia Wendell, the Polish woman claiming to be Madeleine McCann, has been flown to America from Poland after receiving death threats online.
Private detective and psychic medium Dr Fia Johansson, who is investigating the case, said Julia felt "terrified" and "unsafe" in Poland and flew her to the States.
Dr Johansson visited Julia in her home country last week and said there are "a lot of unanswered questions" about the case after speaking to the 21-year-old's doctors, school friends and police.
Sharing a post to her nine million Instagram followers after touching down in LA with Julia, the psychic medium said: "Thanks for the extra protection I love you USA. Welcome to USA Julia - the land of love and dreams."

"Julia has never said, 'I am Madeleine McCann'. She has lots of questions about her past and she asked for help. We are open to all possibilities.

"Having spent time with Julia and investigating this I do not think she is lying or making things up for followers, everything she says appears to be real."
She went on to say that Julia's mother had blocked her and won't receive her calls after the pair asked her family for a DNA test.
