Maria, Greek Mystery Blonde Girl, Is Roma After All DNA tests confirmed Friday that the mystery blonde girl who was taken from a Roma couple caring for her in Greece is in fact of Roma descent, just not related to the family who raised her. The 6- or 7-year old, named Maria, is the daughter of a Bulgarian Roma woman who gave the girl away because she was too poor to provide for her, the Associated Press reports. The discovery is a vindication to many Roma after the high-profile case provoked prejudiced allegations of child-snatching.

It is not yet clear whether those charges will be dropped. Another blonde girl seized from a Roma family was returned to her parents earlier this week after DNA tests confirmed that she was their daughter.
