The young Polish woman named Julia Wendell, who believes she might be Madeleine McCann, discussed her claims that the missing British child is actually her in a conversation with Dr. Phil on Tuesday.
The TV personality bonded with the Polish woman, 21, who had been brought to the US by her lawyer, Dr. Fia Johansson, after receiving death threats, and they discussed several noteworthy similarities that led the Polish woman to believe she might be Maddie.
When questioned if the two shared the same iris flaw, Julia replied, “It’s a bit faded now, but yes.” Dr. Phil said, “You look a lot like her from those ages.” They also illustrated how they both have the same dimple.
Dr. Phil questioned Julia about whether she believed Maddie looked a lot like her when they were teenagers and whether she shared the same iris abnormality.

Who knows if the private detective even really thinks this girl is telling the truth? The interview received a highly mixed response from Dr. Phil’s audience. One person commented, “This is absurd. The private detective is savoring every second of the limelight. I wish she could get the aid she requires! She needs to feel secure and loved, wherever she is, another person commented.
Why can’t they conduct a straightforward DNA test and move on without causing the McCann family any distress, a third commenter questioned. The entire situation has developed into a global project or theater.
