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 (talkcontribs) 05:37, 5 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
