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."
Madeleine went missing in 2007
Speaking to The Sun about the case, Dr Johansson said: "The situation in Poland is she has nobody. Her family won't talk to her.
