I might be mistaken but I thought that Hal had green eyes?

If it were Chic, and he knew of the Nancy Drew Books, could it have been possible that Alice or Hal kept in contact with him? Like with letters or something, that is something that could be mentioned in passing, 'Betty is still into her Nancy Drew'

I had actualy thought that Alice could be the mastermind of the hood too.

I mean, I get that impression from her anyways. But there's definitely a crazy side since she ended up getting arrested. Hal does have green eyes. It's possible that one of them kept in touch with Chic. Or you know, Chic could always be in plain sight, how would Alice or Hal know what he looks like if they haven't seen him since he was a baby?

Alice would make sense in a lot of ways.

I read an interesting theory earlier regarding Penny Peabody (the lawyer) being the biological mother of Betty. Betty was taken away from her by Alice since she got "away" from all the bad crap going on in Southside and could provide a better life for her. Or she gave the baby up willingly and Alice took her because she was still feeling guilty about giving up Chic. There are endless ways this could work out (in TV land). Obviously, she wouldn't be the one running around in the hood, but since she's "paid in favors" she could easily get people to do her dirty work for her. There are some striking resemblances between her, Polly and Betty. Betty would recognize her face since she would have seen her at FP's trial. She could've gotten updates from Alice about Betty or she could have run into her randomly at any point - I don't think Betty would have normally been suspicious of her.

I also thought it was interesting that in Betty's notes about BH, she randomly adds "May have a daughter" even though nothing apparent seemed to lead her to that conclusion.
