The address 1JW9NJneiHVqpvDgcNah4FLXRF62Mw1Np5 contains 0.37700779 BTC.

This was received in two transactions.

The first was at 19.37 (GMT) yesterday for 0.23615234 BTC.

The second was as 20.39 (GMT) yesterday for 0.14085565 BTC.

If he said he sent 0.07592263 BTC to that address he is either lying or has made a mistake.
Thanks for checking! I recognise those figures you list, because I made two transfers earlier. The time also checks out.
I see the Address in the Addresses section of Electrum.

However, neither of these is the transaction I made with him.
Any transaction he made, would have been later in GMT - around Midnight or 01:00 GMT, by my reckoning.

Okay - that clarifies the situation.
The transaction he's talking about, was not made, and I can confront him about it.  
Odds that he made a mistake, seem pretty slim to me.
I doubt Local Bitcoin Exchange will help me, since the transaction was cancelled and outside their site - but it's worth a try.

I messed up and it seems he took advantage of it. The problem was, it was late at night and the World Remit transfer didn't take <1 hour as advertised, but something like 3.5 hour and this made me lose my calm and act stupidly. I guess 611 EUR goes a long way in Colombia/Venezuela... Maybe from his perspective, it's worth skimming a European who doesn't have her wits about her.
