The 21-year-old - who appears to use three different surnames - went viral on social media after going ‘Live’ to share supposed "evidence" that she is Madeleine - which included having freckles in the same place and a rare Coloboma in her eye. Julia Wendell's case has sparked outrage online among many who do not believe she is grown-up Maddie, who went missing at the age of four 16 years ago in Portugal's Praia da Luz. Ms Wendell has alleged the McCanns have approached her to take a DNA test after making claims on social media she and Madeleine could be the same person despite their apparent two-year age difference. He also led the UK’s child protection agency CEOP and is regarded as a world expert in the field – and he has now told the Irish Mirror it would have been better if the claims were examined outside the glare of publicity. County Down investigator Jim Gamble, who is a leading child safety expert and on Portugal’s Algarve in May 2017, said a DNA test on Julia Wendell should have been carried out behind the scenes – and out of the glare of publicity. AN Irish investigator who played a leading role in the search for Madeleine McCann has said her parents do not need any trauma of a Polish woman coming forward to claim she is the missing girl.
