there is scholarship today that puts forth the conjecture that John has been an Essene at Qumran but he was a little bit to LIT and extreme for that community and its rigid practices AND that Jesus as an acolyte or apprentice to the Baptist prior to launching his own ministry.
Great stuff, the thinking that goes into such scholarship.
