 Date: 2007-05-08
 
 Occupation: Handyman
 
 Place of Work: OC
 
 He has worked at the OC for about 20 years and currently works 
				in the Maintenance Department, he carries out repairs inside the 
				apartments.
 
 He works from 09.00 to 18.00 with a break for lunch at 13.00. He 
				has Sundays and Mondays off.
 
 When asked about the events being investigated he says that he 
				only saw the girl's mother once. This happened during the 
				exercise of his functions, and after instruction from his 
				superiors he went to apartment 5 A.
 
 His services had been requested because the shutters in the 
				bedroom at the back of the apartment, facing the Tapas 
				restaurant were damaged and with the aim of providing the mother 
				with instructions regarding the operation of the washing 
				machine. When asked, he said that the damage to the blinds was 
				centred on the pull-handle, limiting their opening. He says that 
				this kind of damage is quite frequent, given the fact of the 
				need for some initial force to raise the shutter, sometimes 
				associated with a lack of knowledge of the mechanism on the part 
				of some of the tourists, who keep applying force, contrary to 
				what is required, and which results in the violent destruction 
				of the respective handles.
 
 When questioned, he says that he never works alone, he is always 
				part of a team of two. The other individual is his colleague, 
				Luis Ferro, who accompanied him in the execution of the repairs 
				mentioned above.
 
 When asked, he says that he did not notice anything strange in 
				the previous days, either in the apartments he entered or in the 
				surrounding areas that could be connected to the disappearance.
 
 He was at home at the time of the events.
