Newly uncovered medical records show the woman claiming to be Madeleine McCann suffered a mysterious skull fracture that partially erased her childhood memories of repeated abuse and alleged sex trafficking, RadarOnline.com can exclusively reveal.
The suspicious injury left a then 8-year-old Julie Wendell unable to speak or walk for more than a year, her caretaker, private investigator Dr. Fia Johansson, said after obtaining nearly 500 pages of the young woman’s medical records from a Wroclaw, Poland, hospital.
The results of the injury were evident during Wendell’s first on-camera interview with RadarOnline.com, where she revealed flashback memories about her childhood — and unnerving trips to exotic tropical locations accompanied by men she didn’t know.
Wendell recalled staying at luxurious beachfront hotels — well beyond the means of her simple Polish parents — and multi-colored buildings, which she claimed resembled the Portuguese resort town of Praia da Luz, where McCann was kidnapped in 2007 while vacationing with her parents.
During the exclusive interview inside her Los Angeles safe house, Wendell, now 21, retrieved a composition notebook decorated with butterflies and plants to show where she journalizes the random and sometimes non-sequential memories of her fragmented childhood.
In one instance, she recalled the terror of paragliding with a man while she dressed only in a T-shirt and underwear and another time when a man gifted her a blue belly dancing outfit at a market in a poor tropical village.
