The Swiss company Ava-X, with the help of technology, compared the photos of little Julia with those of Madeleine and concluded that they did not match.
21-year-old Julia Wedel from Poland, who earlier this month caused a sensation by claiming to be Madeleine McCann, the three-year-old who disappeared in 2007 from a resort in Portugal, is almost certain not to be Madeleine, facial recognition experts say.

The company’s technique is to “break” a person’s photo into small parts and check whether they are identified with other photos in databases.
“It is practically impossible for the young woman from Poland to be Madeleine,” one of the company’s co-founders told the Blick newspaper.
Recently, the adoptive parents of the 21-year-old from Poland said they were “devastated” by the disturbance caused by their daughter, who has been dealing with psychological problems for years.
In addition, the first biometric tests to prove if it is indeed Madeleine have come out negative, while organizations for missing people have warned that the 21-year-old girl has accounts on social media with three different names, #Julia Faustyna #Julia Wendell #Julia Wandelt.

Also, several users who dealt with the case, discovered that the 21-year-old has posted pink photos and videos of private moments on adult websites and that she also maintains an account under a pseudonym to search for sexual partners.
Madeleine’s parents have already asked for a DNA test to be conducted so that there is no doubt about the 21-year-old and the results are awaited, to formally close the case.
