The young lady has since provided three samples for a DNA test to be conducted. Instagram Private investigator Dr. Fia Johansson revealed that the results of the test will help investigators determine whether she is McCann or not. “If the results come back that she’s British or from that area then we are going to continue our investigation into Madeleine McCann and communicate with the detectives in Portugal," the investigator told the news outlet. “We have a lot of evidence right now that shows Julia was definitely trafficked to Poland from another country by an international sex trafficking group. We are still conducting an investigation but Julia is definitely not the child of her parents in Poland.”
