There's been a big development as police in Orange County, California have seized the cell phone of Julia Wendell in what's now a sprawling global investigation.
Radar Online reported the Orange County Sheriff's Department recently contacted law enforcement in the Polish city of Wroclaw and informed them they had obtained a device believed to belong to Julia Wendell when she was seeking safe haven in California, a source said.
The phone was voluntarily handed to police and a search and seizure took place, said private investigator Dr. Fia Johansson, who last month whisked Wendell to California from Poland following a series of death threats.
The Sheriff Department’s confirmed to RadarOnline.com it was involved in the latest turn of events but declined to provide specific details of the investigation or if involves the phone.
“We are not going to make any comments about the case,” Department Spokesman Sgt. Mike Woodroof told RadarOnline.com. “Our investigation is taking a deep look into it and we’re going to let them do their investigative duties and then from that point let the judicial system take over – if it needs to.”
The intervention of cops into the case comes after a DNA test proved Wendell, 21, was not who she claimed — missing Madeleine, who vanished at the age of three while on a family holiday in Portugal in 2007.
This is fascinating...
Hopefully we'll get a part two on this story.
