I haven't worked that out yet.Possibly - but then why do this BBC interview?

Well we don't have the full interview to know what he was asked, or what else he might have said, but I'd guess these quotes were probably in response to the reporter querying a similar thing to you and others here i.e. - "why are you so sure CB is guilty/what evidence do you have/why haven't you charged him yet?"Wolters gives direct quotes to the BBC, ostensibly defending and justifying his own conduct but makes no plea for public assistance. So why is he doing this interview, other than to protect himself and smear the suspect further, despite offering no evidence?
Don't forget they spent 3 years on this case in secret before exhausting their leads and forcing them to turn to the wider population for help. CB would have encountered hundreds of people during his time in the Algarve, yet I expect only a fraction of them have ever been questioned. It may only take one person who knew CB, or knew about him, or someone he associated with, or where he lived, or where he went/what he did around these dates, to give LE that final piece of the puzzle.
As I said, IMO that is the BBC looking for dead cat distractions from imminent economic disasters rather than specifically from HCW. The BBC asked he gave the answer as it stands.How does an article on the BBC smoke anyone out?
Are the key people in the UK?
I’m fully in agreement with what you’re saying .Kind of weird ..., a public announcement ....if you knew what I knew kind of thing .
IMO this is more than seeking confirming evidence for a fully solved crime. IMO HCW is probably genuinely missing a piece of the puzzle. In other words although he knows who did it, and how, there is a significant portion (possibly the last portion) of the sequence which he simply has not solved yet, IMO. ???Well we don't have the full interview to know what he was asked, or what else he might have said, but I'd guess these quotes were probably in response to the reporter querying a similar thing to you and others here i.e. - "why are you so sure CB is guilty/what evidence do you have/why haven't you charged him yet?"
I don't think HCW has really said anything too different here to what he has previously, albeit in slightly different words. The appeal is live and ongoing, no need to keep mentioning it every time he's asked a question (that's assuming of course he didn't mention it and it was just left out of the article).
In general though, I think HCWs tactic from the start was to make sure everyone knew this case was different to all the other suspects raised in the past (there's been a LOT). He wants everyone to know they have everything but the smoking gun to say CB is guilty. IMO he's done this so that the appeal would be taken more seriously by both the public and the media and to drive any potential witnesses to come forward.

Agree. A quite extraordinary way to conduct a serious police investigation imo.

Considering the amount of time HCW spends chattering to The Sun and other UK media sources, filling them in on his plans (before he fills other police forces in about them), maybe they are?
Personally I think the Netflix documentary team should make another episode highlighting all this info and therefore reaching a wider audience in the hope it may be enough to push this case over the line.
Unfortunately, there's no new useful info to highlight.
All a new episode could document is endless footage of HCW on a loop saying, to a variety of media sources over the best part of the last year, that while he's absolutely confident that CB is his 'MM' man, he can't, nevertheless, say what it is he has to back that allegation up, or what it is he needs in order to charge CB, while also saying at every turn he may never have the evidence he needs to charge CB.
A 5-min 'documentary', at absolute best.
3 months later, Eddie alerted in this room.A useful photo which illustrates the relative positions of the two bedrooms. The photo (early hours 4th May) was taken from inside the parents' bedroom. The policeman we see in the background is standing a little inside the children's bedroom

I would assume, that strategy is based on the fact, that they know what concrete part of evidence they need, that it exists, and they need that special person to come forward. Obviously an english-speaking person.
Maybe they do not raise the pressure on CB, but that one special person....
A good reference point is the Olive Press for a general
idea of what could be helpful information.There has also been excavations and house searches in Germany.
I am very aware of the case but people on here regularly provide interesting info from other European media sources that you just wouldnt know about in the UK without coming on here or reading an online Spanish Paper (Olive Press )
The question was not time-specific.(paraphrased)
Aussie interviewer: Do you have evidence CB was in the apartment?
HCW: I have an answer but I'm not going to tell you because it might prompt lots more questions.
