If it does have a twist what do you guys think is most likely?

Rust is behind it all. His real name is Roger Childress-Ledoux. The real Rust Cohle actually dies in the DEA shootout, and "Rust" assumed his identity to get into LSP (notice that Childress just sucked it up when Rust slapped the frick out of him in the PD early in the series...he knows who's in charge). He iced Tuttle bc he got sloppy, then he took the evidence and gave Marty shitty latex gloves that would impart fingerprints. Now he's "hired" Marty's firm and - guess what - moved all of the evidence, including pitcures and videotapes that noone other than someone "involved" would have into Marty's office! I also think he's now going to redo the storage unit to make it look like he was building a case against Marty the whole time - genius.

Rust has been on the long con since the 80s because he was jealous of Marty's baseball career (Rust was clearly a bookish nerd in high school), so he fricked his wife, drove them into divorce (is probably turning out his daughters) and is going to have his cousin acid-face torture and kill him and frame Marty for it all. Sacrificing himself for a cause, you might say.
