In a bombshell twist no one saw coming, Julia Wandelt, the Polish woman who captured global attention with her belief that she might be Madeleine McCann, has reportedly received DNA results showing a 69.23% match with Gerry McCann — Madeleine’s biological father.

“The truth is out,” Julia declared in a dramatic Instagram Live on June 10, 2025. “I’ve waited my whole life to know who I am. Now… I finally do.”

The Numbers That Sparked Global Whiplash

The DNA test, reportedly conducted at a private genetics lab in Switzerland, allegedly shows a “partial parent-child link” between Julia and Gerry — enough, her supporters say, to reignite serious questions about the original investigation into Madeleine’s disappearance in Praia da Luz in 2007.

Skeptics argue the match percentage could suggest distant kinship rather than parentage, but Julia’s legal team is pushing for a court-ordered confirmation test with Kate McCann and further investigation by Portuguese and UK authorities.

Public Reactions: “Could This Really Be Her?”

The internet exploded within minutes of the DNA reveal, with hashtags like #MadeleineMcCann, #JuliaWandelt, and #DNAtruth dominating trending charts on X and TikTok.

“I’m crying. If it’s true… this is the miracle we all hoped for,” one user posted.

“Don’t give me hope unless it’s real,” another wrote.

Even Meghan McCann’s family has remained cautiously silent so far, with insiders claiming they are “shocked and emotionally overwhelmed” by the claim.

Authorities Respond: “We Are Reviewing the Claim”

Scotland Yard issued a brief statement acknowledging the DNA claims but stressed “no official confirmation of identity has been made.” German investigators reportedly remain skeptical and are standing by their belief that Christian Brueckner remains the prime suspect in Madeleine’s presumed death.
