McNulty isn’t suggesting that they might find a witness to this murder. He’s telling Bunk that when he tells the Major about the murder that he shouldn’t omit the fact that the guy was a state’s witness (ie: Don’t soft-sell the witness angle.)

The line before this, McNulty asks Bunk what he’s going to tell the Major and Bunk says he’s going to say that this case is a total mystery. McNulty wants Bunk to be upfront about the victim being a witness, so when McNulty goes behind the Major’s back to tell Phelan, Bunk won’t get in trouble for hiding it.

Bunk wants to keep it secret until it’s 100% certain he was killed for being a witness, just on the off chance he can get out of the case without pissing people off.
