Multiple reports say an American woman, Heather McCord, from Staten Island, New York, is claiming she is Katrice Lee, a British toddler who vanished in Germany in 1981. The father of the missing child disputes the claim and publicly challenges it, describing the assertion as a scam. McCord reportedly insists she can travel to the UK and undergo DNA testing to confirm her identity. The reporting frames the situation as a confrontation over whether the woman’s claim is genuine or fabricated, with the father expressing skepticism while McCord threatens to proceed with tests after making plans to travel. The accounts do not provide confirmation from authorities or the outcome of any DNA testing. They also do not specify what evidence, apart from the planned testing, has been offered to support or refute McCord’s identity claim. The dispute remains unresolved at the time of the reports.
