Honestly, I think we're going to find out that Papa C was not murdered, but was in fact the murderer. And then, after the murder, he faked his own death (using the murdered body, and possibly a glamour spell, or else just mangling the body beyond recognition) and went away to hide (possibly to the LoUS). And as a final twist, he's going to ultimately end up appearing in Storybrooke.

At least that story deals more directly with opportunity (which at this point we have only Rumple and Killian that even have a chance of opportunity, or King George as an outside possibility). It also allows telling of Papa C's story to fill in his Motive without having to contrive another potentially conflicting backstory for Rumple or Killian.
