I like the idea that he is still alive and that he faked his own death. But why, is still a question. Who did he murder and why? I don't think the reason for faking his death will be quite a simple as trying to escape justice. It somehow has to be connected to a bigger picture. Perhaps Rumple was involved in some way? Rumple and Charming's father already knew each other. Didn't Ruth once say that her husband regretted giving James up right away? Maybe he tried to get him back.
