Finally, the FULL story behind Madeleine McCann’s disappearance 18 years later is out! A DNA match confirms the identity of a woman who disappeared at the age of 3 — and the heartbreaking truth is more devastating than anyone could have imagined! 🧬💔🕵️♀️
A DNA test has been ordered on a woman who looks like a missing girl from Italy after her resemblance was spotted by a blogger in Turkey 16 years ago.
Angela Celentano – who has been dubbed Italy’s Madeleine McCann – disappeared in 1996, aged three, while at a picnic with her parents in Monte Faito.
More than a decade later, an Italian woman, Vinceza Trentinella, told police that Angela was being kept on the Turkish island of Buyikada, near Istanbul, after being kidnapped as a child.
Ms Trentinella claimed that Angela was living with a man, a self-styled vet, who she believed was her father.
The blogger said she was told the information by a dying priest, Don Augusto, who allegedly said it was revealed to him during a confession.
Upon her return to Italy, Ms Trentinella notified police and gave them documentation – a business card of the supposed father, who had a scar on his neck, and photos of the girl who had a strong resemblance to Angela.
But Turkish authorities failed to look more into the accusation after they were given a fake phone number of the man, Fahfi Bey.
Now Judge Federica Colucci has reopened the case and ordered a new investigation to find the so-called ‘Turkish lead’ to ‘resolve any doubts about her identity’, it was reported in Corriere Del Mezzogiorno.

A representation of what Angela would look like as an adult – her parents have said ‘until I am certain that my daughter is dead, until I have a body to cry on, I will continue to look for her alive’
They asked the prosecutor to hear from the witnesses in Turkey as well as identify the girl in the video taken by Ms Trentinella back in 2009.
