GB News reports as ‘Polish Maddie debunked’

A former detective has said he is “very disappointed” US chat talk show host Dr Phil invited a woman claiming she is missing Madeleine McCann. Polish woman Julia Wendell, 21, was given airtime on the popular TV show on Monday where she discussed her widely debunked theory that she is the toddler who went missing in 2007.

DNA tests have since confirmed this week Miss Wendell is “100 percent from Poland” and her parents vehemently deny she is missing Maddie.

Miss Wendell shot to public attention over the last few months by claiming to be the missing daughter of Kate and Gerry McCann.

Despite not looking like Maddie, Miss Wendell claims that she shared a rare eye defect with Madeleine, which she said on Dr Phil “had faded”.

Appearing on GB News journalist and former police detective Mark Williams-Thomas was asked by Dan Wootton if it was right to give Miss Wendell “all this exposure on TV” to which he said it was “very sad” and “Dr Phil should not have had her on”.

Mr Williams-Thomas said it should not be forgotten the torment Madeleine McCann’s parents would be feeling over the allegations in the last few weeks that this woman was claiming to be their daughter.

He said: “This is a lady who is suffering from quite severe mental health issues, she shouldn’t be put on there and given a profile, I mean this is what she wanted, she wanted a platform to gain some recognition.

“I’m very disappointed that Dr Phil has given her this platform, this is a lady now who is really going to have to go into hiding.”

Mr Williams-Thomas said it was quite clear Wendell is not Madeliene McCann, adding that her parents had come out and given her documentation and photographs from her birth.

He said: “She has said for some weeks, someone do a DNA test on me, she could quite easily of gone to any of the companies that provide DNA tests, and it would have shown that she is from Polish-Lithuanian origin and that her parents are who they say they are.”

In a statement released in February, Miss Wendell’s parents said: “For us, as a family, it is obvious that Julia is our daughter, granddaughter, sister, niece, cousin and step-niece.”

DNA tests have now revealed Miss Wendell has no connection to Madeliene McCann. Celebrity psychic and private detective Dr Fia Johansson told RadarOnline.com. “She is absolutely 100 percent from Poland, she is a small percentage of Lithuanian and Russian but the test results show she is Polish.”
