Hell, I started by being sure RJ would be Sheriff or Haffner some weeks ago, then after episode 6 I went to Bertram, and was pretty sure it would be him (he would have been my favorite), now I'm back to Sheriff and Haffner, lol.
Damn, I'm trapped in a circle..
Resuming...
Haffner:
I don't see how could Haffner have survived the explosion, unless they moved and they have to explain it to us very well.. He also doesn't have the tattoo and that's even more important. It's obvious Bertram was one of the tyger tyger leaders, what other reason could be for him not being killed by tyger tyger? And he got the tattoo, so why would the other possible leader not have the tattoo? And RJ has to be at least a tyger tyger member, how could he get all those favors from them if not?
Also, Haffner appeared late in the show..and he just seems silly and mentally very weak (I'm not even talking about intellect).But he is not an obvious suspect now, he was at the farm, he is an expert in tracking people, he is also not a public figure (so could kill unnoticed), he fits Rosalind description more or less (except the pine smell, and I think he is a little too tall), he is middle aged, he is afraid of spiders (he was ridiculous at that scene), he was an agent so probably knows how to shoot people well, and I can see him seducing some women, like Rosalind and Lorelei.
Also, Heller said RJ likes the cold. And there is "Haffner Creek" (a crag with several pillars of pure ice).
Sheriff:
Fits Rosalind description completly (except the bald thing, but he probably wasn't bald then, we can even see it in his photo in Jane's list), he is not a public figure, so he could kill all those people without being afraid of being recognized.
He is afraid of pigeons, and maybe that is also the clue at the end of s6e1 that Heller pointed out (there were pigeons at the house Partridge was killed).
He moves smoothly, and he is small, so he could hide behind the door in s6e1, and being a hunter he is probably good at shooting people (and we know RJ is good at it, the way he shot those guys in "Red Sky in the Morning"! ).
Also he has a strange voice, too rough, and PJ did said somewhere that RJ would have a speech impairment..
He was also a litle too insistent with Van Pelt in that episode (when he offered her a ride)...
But, to me, Sheriff is the most obvious of all suspects, and they showed us his image in the promo (I know, CBS may have screwed it..), also, he looks too old for Rosalind and Lorelei (is he even middle aged??), least narcissistic of all and has a bad posture (we can even see it at s06e06), and being RJ so proud of who he is and his work, I just think he shouldn't be saying to PJ he wasn't RJ like that (yes, I know, he did a litle smile, but still...).
He doesn't seem to have any kind of vanity (I actually kinda of like him).
He is the only one of the suspects I would trust, but maybe that's another clue..
Also, don't see how "RJ likes the cold" does fit Sheriff...was Heller playing us??
Bertram using Thomas identity doesn't mean nothing to me, I don't believe they would go and give us such a clue to RJ identity..
Being the Sheriff RJ or not, I do believe the Sheriff must be the other tyger tyger leader, and that's why Bertram used his name, to incriminate the other leader in case the store-room was found.
What do you think?
