Well my theory for this is that the BoC is the shard of the First Flame she had; The Flame of Life that she experimented on was the BoC. She survived but couldnt deal with what she had done to her children, so she ran away and later imprisoned herself on another continent. This would explain how in DS one you defeated BoC and got the Flame and yet this time in DS 2 you get the soul of the witch; in that she was able to grow consciousness without her Godly Soul. THe only problem with that is that Quelana was a witness to the event, and from dialogue and item descriptions the witch and two of her daughters were indeed consumed by the flame and warped into the Bed that we know and hate.

However, this still doesn't rule out the Witch as being the sinner. It could be that her soul was so strong that even after being consumed by the Lordvessel there was still a fragment that could wander the world and eventually influence the person who would become the Lost Sinner.
