Blackmailer Theory involved the end of 3-06.

So my theory is that the birders are Walters parents and Walter is the stalker.

  1. He is an avid bird watcher. Told Misty as much while talking about Caligula.
  2. He very heavily implies that he is an orphan/doesnt have living parents after Misty questions him about Svetlana
  3. He also, at multiple points, has said that he knows more about Misty and the Yellowjackets than she thinks, but only uses Adams death as an example.

I believe that Walter became obsessed with finding out what really happened to his parents because he was probably told that they were killed by wolves or something along those lines. That’s what leads to him getting into true crime and becoming a citizen detective. Eventually, the internet and Reddit happen and he’s able to learn more about the Yellowjackets, this team of girls who crash landed near where his parents were last seen alive. The helicopter scene is of Walter either having gone to the crash site prior to the adult timeline or going to the site here soon, given that it is roughly October in the AT, and if the helicopter was for rescue, the trees would be white or barren not changing colors. Walter targets Misty because she’s a sad individual incredibly desperate for human attention. He’s also collecting DNA to prove which girls were directly involved in the death of his parents. He already stole Shauna’s DNA and Misty just sent him Lottie’s DNA profile. Walter found the DAT tape among Natalie’s belongings in the storage unit and pocketed it before giving the keys to Misty. Misty has also accused Walter of having an accomplice (for Swank casting purposes) Ashley and Nelson(the two birders) are 37 and 39 IRL, old enough to have a teenager at home.

Edit: I meant to say Stalker, not Blackmailer. Sorry for the confusion. Edit 2: A person on Discord mentioned that his last name could be a reference to the Inheritance Games books. The first book was published in September of 2020 and the show starts in 2021, so it is entirely possible, especially if you are familiar with the books.
