Woman Claims She Was The Girl Who Went Missing In 2007

Madeleine McCann was a 3-year-old girl who disappeared from her bed in an apartment in Praia de Luz, Portugal, on May 3, 2007. People have been doing search operations for years but nobody was able to find her. Her case is one of the most heavily reported missing person cases in history. 

More than a decade after her disappearance, a woman on social media is now claiming that she is that missing person. A woman with the Instagram name “I am Madeleine McCann” appeared last February 14 and rekindled people’s attention to McCann’s case. The Instagram user does not call herself as Madeleine, though– she introduces herself as Julia. 

What’s interesting is that this lady actually states her goal: to have her story heard, and be given a DNA test to prove her identity. "Police investigators from UK and Poland try to ignore me. I will tell my story in posts here,” her bio read. “Help me, I need to talk with Kate and Gerry McCann.”

Julia uploaded posts where she explains multiple reasons why she’s the missing girl. From sharing her earliest memory being a holiday in a hot country with white apartments to having the same hazel mark in her eye that Madeleine has. “I want to prove that I’m real and honest and I really think that I could be Madeleine,” she said. She insists on taking a DNA test so she can also be 100% sure. 

As of the moment, she has managed to speak with the McCanns and will be getting a DNA test to prove her identity.
