Julia Wendell, 21, who claims to be the tot who went missing in Praia da Luz, Portugal in 2007, appeared on the Instagram page of ‘Persian medium’ Dr Fia Johansson.

She then posted two images to her Instagram story – both of Julia sitting on a plane.

The first one is captioned: “One of the happiest days of my life. Thank you Fia.”

The second simply says: “Stay tuned”.

In the longer videos posted to her page, a visibly happy Julia giggles and laughs, covering her face with her sleeve.

Julia explains she is happy with the events going on.

“Never give up and believe in yourself. Dreams come true,” she tells the camera.

Fia can also be heard saying “we have a lot to do and a lot to announce”.

In the second clip, Julia can be heard saying: “You make my dreams come true…[I’m] so excited.

“Jesus, thank you Fia… I love you… No, I love you more,” she adds through uncontrolled laughter as she heads over towards her departure gate.

Julia has claimed a number of factors including a mark on her eye, recollections of an assault and overheard conversations from the people who raised her have left her convinced that she isn’t who she has been told she is.

Also known as Julia Faustyna, she and Fia are understood to be looking into the possibility that she could in fact be a Swiss girl who went missing in 2011.

Livia Schepp went missing in Lausanne along with her twin sister Alessia when she was just six years old.

The Schepp family reportedly reached out to Julia, and she agreed to do a test.

Private Investigator Dr. Fia Johansson told RadarOnline.com in an exclusive telephone interview that Julia “would love to” help the family.

“We have communicated with a relative of Livia who asked if Julia is willing to do a DNA test because the family just wants to make sure she is not Livia,” Dr. Johansson said. “Right now, they are looking at every possibility.

“And we said yes, we would love to.”
