A Polish woman claiming to be Madeleine McCann has shared that she has early childhood memories that are “eerily similar” to the location where Madeleine vanished around 16 years ago.
Julia Faustyna, who is also known as Julia Wendell or Julia Wandelt, said she recalls a single memory from her early childhood and that is of being by a beach and ocean.
The 21-year-old was a guest on American show Dr Phil on Monday March 27 to elaborate on her claims that she is the missing British school girl who disappeared on a family holiday in Praia De Luz, Portugal, in 2007.

Addressing the audience, host Dr Phil said: "Julia says she has no recollection of her earlier childhood, except for one memory, The Mirror reports.
"What she remembers is eerily similar to the place where Madeleine McCann was last seen alive."
Discussing her only early memory, Julia said: "I have some single memories since eight, nine years old.
"And before eight, I have only this one memory with beach and water, like sea or ocean, and there were turtles and children trying to catch the turtles and take them in their hands.
"And I remembered light-coloured buildings, like white or very light colours, sunlight on this building."
Dr Fia Johansson, a private investigator and medium who is helping Julia, claims her memory has a resemblance to the environment in which Madeleine disappeared.
Appearing on the talk show, she said: "When I put it all together, I thought, 'Hmm, something makes sense and I need to get into why she remembers just that things'."
Speaking about the buildings Julia remembers, she added: "So that could be one of those memories too that maybe she had at the age of three.
"That could possibly be the same building that Madeleine vanished 2007."
Julia is currently waiting for the DNA results which will confirm or deny her suspicions.
During her interview, she was also asked what she would do if the Polish couple who raised her were in fact her biological family.
She stated: "I believe I am Madeleine McCann. If she is my mother, I don’t want to have contact with her that’s all, but I believe she isn’t my mother."
