Didn't Kojima confirm it was Paz who was being held captive, and that it was Paz who was having the bomb-looking device surgically removed? When I said "its clearly not Paz," I was referring to the prisoner that Skull-Face mentioned when meeting him, since he implies that he killed the prisoner in question in a merciful manner as he promised to Chico ("I kept my word. She did not suffer long."). Paz is definitely imprisoned on the island, no question about it.

Judging by the whole MGSGZ scene available to us, I agree Amanda is not likely involved as Kaz and Snake would probably mention her alongside Chico during their rescue mission. On the other hand, it may be worth noting that XOF could be tricking Chico to give away certain intel (which he did) by making him think Paz's fate is at his hands. So when Skull Face said [She did not suffer long], it may still be that he is referring to Paz (given it is unlikely that other VIPs are involved and that we aren't seeing the whole picture.) and lied to Chico, knowingly Big Boss is on his way.
