Now that it is pretty much proven McAllister is RJ, here is how I think he escaped the explosion:

We all know that the bodies found were not exactly recognizable due to the explosion, however DNA showed 3 matches. With no McAllister visibly running around, safe to assume he is dead.

However, he did get away, leaving some sort of DNA behind. CBI would think he was blown into pieces and thus they wouldn't need a body. He was the first one up and out of the house, he ran off. Bertram meanwhile took the heat for being RJ, this brought the real RJ out for ego reasons.

Meanwhile that cup breaking gave Jane the idea of pieces. CBI assumed that only pieces of McAllister were left, while really nothing significant truly was.

Ok I think the sheriff is RJ. He got the bomb with him in his hat. The
hat is lying on the couch all the time, even when the three guys with
the tattoos are lined up in front of Jane away from the couch area.
Now something happened, there was a gunshot, someone cried out 'no..'
Maybe
the only way out for RJ was to detonate the bomb. He knew he was far
enough from it not to be seriously injured. He caused the explosion and
made his escape somehow. Is it possible he planted his DNA at the site
to make it look like he died?
The bomb seems to have been near the couch area from the way the site looks after the explosion.
