‘I am Madeline McCann’ girl shares diary excerpts

Earlier today (April 3), ED! reported that a “mysterious skull fracture” may have led Julia to lose chunks of her childhood memories. She was admitted to hospital when she was aged eight, reportedly in a near-comatose state.

‘I was very scared’

Reading from her notebook, which was decorated with butterflies and plants, Julia shared what she remembers of her upbringing. She recalled paragliding with a man while wearing only a T-shirt and underwear. She also recalls being given a belly dancing outfit by another man as a youngster.

Julia wrote: “I remember that I was paragliding with an older man that I didn’t know, and I didn’t want it, I mean paragliding, and I was very scared. I remember that all day, all the time I vomited. I remember I was in a T-shirt and panties only, without any shorts or skirt.”

‘It’s hard to understand’

Julia also shared a memory of locking herself in the toilet with another Polish girl, revealing that she was crying and in a panicked state. She wrote: “I had a friend there, and I think she was Polish. We closed ourselves in the toilet in a very luxurious place and we shouted and cried, panicked. We didn’t want to leave the toilet. After some time, someone opened the door and we then saw many people out there.”

Speaking to the publication in an interview, Julia then said she was unsure how her parents afforded trips to such luxurious places. “It’s hard to understand, how it’s possible that they have the money to go to very luxurious places.”
