The similarities between Julia Faustyna and Madeleine McCann raised suspicions about the possibility that the young Polish woman could be the missing British woman. However, DNA test results showed that there is no relationship between them.
The search for Madeleine has continued since 2007, when she disappeared while on a family holiday in Portugal. Recently, Julia decided to take a DNA test to find out more about her identity.

After weeks of waiting, the results confirmed that she is not the missing girl, but rather a young Polish woman with Lithuanian and Romanian heritage.
Dr. Fia Johansson, a private investigator and psychic who has been helping Julia in her search for answers, confirmed that the young woman is indeed 100% Polish. Although she has some Lithuanian and Russian ancestry, test results showed that her background is mostly Polish.
Johansson also stated that Julia's work was not in vain and that the young woman's search has been useful in helping the search for Madeleine.
In the chat program Dr. Phil, Julia discussed her beliefs that she could be Madeleine and presented her earliest memories and photos from when she was a child as evidence. The young woman has also firmly stated that she does not want to have contact with her Polish parents, regardless of the DNA test results.
During the program, a statement from her family was read:
“Julia also has these photos, because she took them from the family home with the birth certificate, as well as numerous hospital discharges.”
“We always try to understand all the situations that happened to Júlia. Countless therapies, medications, psychologists and psychiatrists – Julia had everything covered. She was not left alone,” read the statement, which was released in February.
“Threats to our speech from Julia, her lies and manipulations, internet activity. We saw everything and tried to stop it, to explain it, we asked her to stop,” the statement continued.
“Julia once wanted to be a singer, a model. She always wanted to be popular. What's going on now she has a million followers. We are afraid that Julia will carry the inevitable. The internet won't forget, and it's obvious that Julia is not Maddie. We are devastated by this current situation.”
