Faustyna’s Instagram account had its first post on February 14. It is a photo of herself and a man who was blocked out. From the beginning, commenters doubted that Faustyna was the missing girl.
SHE PLEADED WITH GERRY AND KATE MCCANN FOR A DNA TEST.
According to the New York Post, Faustyna claims her boyfriend wants to leave her because of the case. She also claims that her grandmother gave her the idea that she may be Madeleine a few months ago, the NY Post reported.

SOME SAY THAT SHE IS MENTALLY FRAGILE.
Dr. Fia Johansson, @persianmedium, who is working the case with investigators, posted to Faustyna’s Instagram earlier this week to come to the woman’s defense.
She explained that Faustyna is hurting from the negativity online and is in a fragile mental state.

“This is a vulnerable woman seeking answers about her identity and her life. Regardless of your opinions, she is a human being who deserves respect,” Johansson wrote.
Evie Magazine reported that Faustyna posted pornographic content to her since-deleted Twitter account, @lovelymiavi_, and that she reportedly has content on PornHub and maintains an OnlyFans account.
