A woman claiming to be Madeleine ‘Maddie’ McCann attended a memorial mass in honor of the missing girl, hoping to obtain DNA material from her parents. The event was held in Rothley, Leicestershire, seventeen years after Maddie McCann disappeared during a family holiday in Portugal. Family members and her former school director were present, but Gerry and Kate McCann were away on vacation.
In a message read by Pastor Robert Gladstone, Gerry and Kate expressed gratitude for the support and hope shared by those attending the memorial mass. They reflected on how difficult it is to believe that seventeen years have passed since Madeleine was taken from them. Alongside the family’s absence, attention was drawn to 22-year-old Polish Julia Wendell, who has claimed to be Maddie for years.
After the service, Wendell reiterated her belief that she is Madeleine McCann and expressed her desire to have a DNA test to confirm her identity. Despite previous testing indicating she is not related to the McCann family, Wendell remains convinced of her claim. The search for Madeleine continues to be a complex and emotional journey, with conflicting theories and evidence creating a sense of uncertainty around her fate. Wendell’s presence at the memorial mass served as a reminder of the enduring mystery surrounding Madeleine’s disappearance and the lengths some individuals will go in search of answers.
