Fake Madeleine McCann Arrested After UK Arrival Stuns Passengers

Julia Wandelt got arrested at an airport. This happened at Bristol Airport. She arrived from Wroclaw, Poland. Passengers were shocked by the scene. News reports say this happened February 19, 2025.

Julia said she was Madeleine McCann. Police arrested her for stalking. She allegedly harassed Madeleine’s parents, Kate and Gerry McCann. Julia is 23 years old. She planned to meet friends in Cardiff.

A woman in her 60s was also arrested. They handcuffed her and took her away. Julia became famous online in 2023. She used the Instagram name “@IAmMadeleineMcCann”.

Julia claimed new DNA results matched. She said it matched the hotel room samples. That’s where Madeleine disappeared. She insisted the tests showed a strong link. Julia said a source compared DNA. They used “hair and saliva” from Portugal. This was from the crime scene in Praia da Luz. Then they compared it to Julia’s DNA.

Despite the parents refusing tests, Julia shared results. She said there was a 69.23% match. This was between her DNA and crime scene evidence. An expert said the evidence was strong. Gerry McCann could be Julia’s father. The data aligned with a parent-child relationship, if the DNA analysis is accurate.

Gerry McCann might be her real dad, she claimed. Madeleine vanished in 2007. She was three years old during a family vacation. Her parents were suspects briefly. The disappearance has remained unsolved for years. Every lead has failed thus far.
