pretty sure joe faked his death. in the episode before the finale or the one before that, he keeps rewinding hardy saying something like 'you cant kill me; i'm already dead.' the whole re-born thing was just a diversion from the real purpose of that scene, which is joe getting the idea to fake his death. the forensic people are probably followers. he could have left some teeth/dna behind too.
