Which one is correct?

The article claims:

...he worked as a fisherman[4] for a man he called "Willie," whose real name may have been "Villermino Rodriguez."

It also claims right after this:

...Rodriguez's father, Villermino Rodriguez Solis, said that Alvarenga had gone missing...

Which of these is correct? The context doesn't read that his employer was his father, and I doubt "Willie" had the identical name to the man's father. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TricksterWolf (talk • contribs) 05:37, 5 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

He has just spent 13 months on a boat, probably 9 alone. He is malnourished, probably dehydrated. The chances are he is confused about the details, and may need a while to sort them out. Martin451 06:10, 5 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This is not the first such claim
