The identity of the person in the boots, first seen spying on Rick and Aaron and later keeping a close eye on Alexandria, remains a mystery. We do, however, have a few clues as to who they may be.

Gabriel's disappearance is surely connected, and it's his note that leaves the biggest indicator of the two working together. The priest didn't know about the boat or its location, but this mystery figure does. Also note that, when Gabriel drives off, there's another figure in the car with him - presumably the same person previously watching him.

Similarly, it would be a huge coincidence if the person in the boots, Gabriel's disappearance, and the emergence of this new community weren't all connected. Is the mystery figure one of these characters surrounding Rick, perhaps even the apparent leader?
