Girl claiming to be Madeleine McCann says she has 'a lot to announce' as she boards mystery flight

A young Polish woman who shocked the internet after claiming that she may be Madeleine McCann has said to “stay tuned” as she boards a plane to figure out her identity.

Julia Wendell, 21, who claims to be the missing British girl who disappeared in Portugal in 2007, appeared on 'Persian medium' Dr Fia Johansson's social media page in a series of videos, after recently deleting her own accounts.

The pair posted two videos clearly showing that they are in an airport, The Daily Star reported.

They note their excitement, adding that Julia is due to board a flight shortly, followed by two images of Julia on a flight with one captioned: “One of the happiest days of my life. Thank you Fia" and a second saying to stay tuned.

“Never give up and believe in yourself. Dreams come true,” Julia tells one video, while the self-proclaimed psychic medium, who has been liaising with Ms Wendell for a number of weeks, says there is more to come.

So far, Julia has claimed a likeness to Madeleine McCann through a mark on her eye, recollections of an assault from her a previous suspect in the case and doubts over her own parent's validity as blood relatives.

Also known as Julia Faustyna, she and Fia are said to be investigating if she could in fact be a Swiss girl who went missing in 2011.

Livia Schepp went missing in Lausanne with her twin Alessia at the age of six. The Schepp family reportedly contacted Julia, who has subsequently agreed to take a DNA test.

Dr. Fia Johansson told RadarOnline.com that Julia is all for helping the family.

“We have communicated with a relative of Livia who asked if Julia is willing to do a DNA test because the family just wants to make sure she is not Livia,” Dr. Johansson said. “Right now, they are looking at every possibility.

“And we said yes, we would love to," she added.
