Who was the mystery couple?

Who was the mystery couple?  They have never come forward, yet someone saw them.

A good question and just like Smithman raise many other questions.  Why would this couple not come forward?

Were they afraid of being implicated or of the publicity?  Were they actually involved in removing Madeleine?

How is it known that they haven't been traced in the investigation by SY or the PJ,Redwood all but ruled out Tannerman by him supposedly coming forward with out a single bit of news regarding his ID.

There has been a lot of confusion between what was seen by the Moyes and this couple seen by someone entering the apartment on the Wednesday night. 
What I have discovered that is so interesting but not quite on topic (but I believe very much on topic if we knew the whole truth).

 The Moyes were in bed at 11:30 when a friend of the McCanns woke them up and told them about Madeleine going missing. But in the radio interview (below) she made a mistake in that she let out that it was a woman who woke her up whereas everyone up till now has been thinking it was Gerry or David.
https://madeleinemccannthetruth.wordpress.com/2011/10/24/radio-stoke-speak-to-susan-moyes/  onthat page is the link to Mrs Moyes speaking.  I'm certain she says "she" referring to the person who wakes her up.  For this person is the one who contacts the Media in the UK, IMO based on the story and her confession.
Whereas Gerry and David seem to deny contacting the media.

If this couple were seen on Wednesday night, it certainly has not been divulged who it was doing this observation, but from a thorough investigation (my own) there is only one person who that could be yet she denies it in her statement.  So how could it be known unless someone has divulged that it happened.  I find this mightily confusing but it can possibly mean that both the observer and the observed are in some way compromised.

I suppose that could be done through a anonymous call to Crime-stoppers, where the identity of the witness has to be kept confidential but not the information.
Does any of this make sense?

What is the chance that it is the same person that called the Moyes wanting to use their computer to get in contact with the media, is the same person who saw the mystery couple on the Wednesday night?

So who was a female friend of the McCanns that had contacts in the UK media?  You know I read that the other day somewhere and I'll try and find it again.   There was one female person who had contacts in the media according to what I read, does anyone know this information.

"According to Paul, a retired accountant, it was a friend of the family informing them that a young girl had been taken. The friend asked if they'd contact the media to get the word out, and the couple rushed down to help with the search."  http://www.ladbible.com/more/viral-witnesses-describe-the-mccanns-reactions-to-maddies-disappearance-20170503
It doesn't say if they did or didn't contact the media.

I have always found that a bit strange.  You are on holiday in Portugal and your child goes missing.  Why on earth would you immediately want to contact the media in LONDON?

Mitchell in the Panorama special also confirms the media were being alerted by midnight, 1am

This was it Russell's rogatory "As for the media I think Rachael called a friend who works at the BBC. "

Definitely there "I am not sure who informed the authorities or media of Madeleine’s disappearance but Gerry may have informed the authorities along with Matt.  As for the media I think Rachael called a friend who works at the BBC.
 
I loathe the media even more so now, I have a very low opinion of them Dave was also seen keen to make use of the media and think that he may have constructed an email- but I am not sure whether that was actually sent.  I know that there were attempts to contact the British Consulate.

Overcomes a language barrier.  "BBC"  Is Crimewatch a BBC program?  Yes it is.  This in itself could be significant.  There was someone there at PDL who worked for the BBC.

The most important (missing) witness did not mention to her parents that people had entered the apartment the previous night to comfort her & Sean while they cried..

It could have been implied though  - Why didn't you come?  is the same question as "Why did someone else come instead?"

Which mystery couple?

How would that "someone else" have known that the children were unattended unless Madeleine had ventured outside?
