A young Polish woman who believes that she could be the missing British girl Madeleine McCann has revealed details from her recently obtained medical records.
Speaking to Radar Online, Julia Wendell, alongside her representative, Dr Fia Johansson, revealed that they received almost 500 pages of the 21-year-old’s medical records, and they show that Julia suffered a skull fracture at the age of eight, and was in a “near-comatose” state in hospital. She was then unable to speak or walk for over a year as a result of the injury.
Fia revealed that Julia "does not remember any of it", in regards to the injury. Julia’s parents in Poland have previously released a statement in response to the young woman’s claims via a Polish Missing Persons charity, Zaginieni przed laty. Translated, the statement reads: "For us, as a family it is obvious that Julia is our daughter, granddaughter, sister, niece, cousin and step niece. We have memories, we have pictures. Julia also has these photos, because she took them from the family home with the birth certificate, as well as numerous hospital discharges."

Fia also recently told the publication that they have now submitted a DNA test for Julia, saying: "If the results come back that she’s British or from that area then we are going to continue our investigation into Madeleine McCann and communicate with the detectives in Portugal. We have a lot of evidence right now that shows Julia was definitely trafficked to Poland from another country by an international sex trafficking group."

She continued: "If I’m not Madeleine McCann, I know that I can open this case again. I tried to talk to many authorities back in 2022. I talked with the embassy in Poland, Portugal, England… Interpol, Polish police, and Portuguese police and no one listened to me."
