Returning to Mr Redwood's comments in the video. He has identified a British holiday maker, returning to their apartment, who was in the area.
A transcript of an interview by Mrs Moyes states:
Q: Can you take us back to that night and... and what you were doing and when you first heard there was a problem?
SM: Sure. We went out for a meal about 7 o'clock, down in the town, we walked back about 9 o'clock, round past, errm... the... the church, round past the supermarket, back to the apartment, went out on the balcony about quarter past nine - everywhere was peaceful, everywhere was lovely - we then went to bed.

Mr Redwood implies singular, but could he be referring to Mr and Mrs Moyes? Does it seem likely their route would place them in the area at the relevant time?
The transcript from that part of Redwood's interview makes it quite clear which holidaymaker he was referring to,

One of the things that we picked up very quickly was the fact that there was a night crèche that was operating from the main Ocean Club reception – and 8 families had left 11 children in there – and one particular family we spoke to us gave us information that was really interesting and exciting. In fact, I would say it was – it was a revelation moment when, having discussed with them what hey were doing on the night, they themselves believed that they could be the Tanner sighting.

The British father had collected his two-year-old daughter from the crèche. He had been walking near the McCanns’ apartment.
PHOTOGRAPH SHOWN
This is the actual photograph taken by Metropolitan Police Officers of the man dressed in the kind of clothes he wore on holiday. This image was compared to the artist’s impression [based on Jane Tanner’s statement].

IMO the Moyes couple were either minutes too early or minutes too late to witness the conversation between JW & GM or the man crossing the junction at the top of Rua DFG Martins. Had they been interviewed within a few days of the event, perhaps they might have remembered if there were any cars parked in the street or saw people movement.
