This is a link to my previous theory, which analysed each suspect.
I just wanted to talk about the physical description we have been given of RJ. It is from 5 years ago now and in that time a person's physical appearance could easily change.
Sheriff McAllister
RJ could be balding and that could explain why the Sheriff would be a viable suspect as his personality and traits already match with what RJ would have. Also, it is implied that he has a fear of pigeons from 6x03, however, the pigeon phobia could be a red herring.
Reede Smith
I believe people are looking past Smith too easily. Everyone is saying he is too large to be RJ but it is possible that RJ has gained weight during those 5 years. This is the type of thing RJ would do to deceive everyone, change his physical appearance! Furthermore, he seemed like the guy with the most authority in the meeting with Bertram and McAllister, plus he is a good whistler.
Thanks for reading my theory!
