Theories of mikefit (43)

Some more observations about Partridge's death scene...

1. The GPS trackers - People mentioned Bertram being the closest GPS. I think the main point is that Partridges phone was the only one at that address. Yes someone could have known their phone was tapped, but if we take it at face value, none of the 6 killed Partridge, and it may not have been RJ that killed him. Especially since their was not smiley face on the wall. Is RJ all of a sudden changing his signature? 

2. "Maybe Brett faked his death and is RJ" -  After he "died," Lisbon stared at him for a good few seconds and even though she took her hands off him quickly, in her experience, she had to know he was dead when she finally looked away from him.

3. "She was clearly pulled from beneath, it must have been Brett." - It seems to me she was grabbed from behind. Also, as someone else noted, her looking at the open bathroom door proves someone else was in the room (the door was closed when she found Partridge).

4. I don't think RJ killed Partridge because the other person in the room was not one of the 6 suspects (though I allow the possibility someone left their phone at home...but I also can't see Gale hiding in a bathroom like that...). I also believe Kirkland is dead, though I grant some could use this as more evidence in the Bob/Mike Kirkland theories.

5. Interesting note, when Jane is calling Lisbon from his car, there are three red dots (lights?) in the window behind him. Probably nothing but really sticks out.

6. Haffner still makes the most sense since he is the only one that fits Rosalinds physical description on hair and posture. I dont rule out the others, but I think the easiest to rule out is Partridge and my next rule-out would be Bertram (since he seems to not match anything said by anyone about RJ..to me atleast).

No offense to Partridge or Mashburn fans, I know how riled up you guys get...

A question for someone who has payed more attention than I... We know there was a "big clue" in the Brett Partridge death scene that "will be revealed later." Also, someone in an older thread discussed the pigeons in that house and how they might be a clue... I've been very active on this board, but one thing no one really seemed to address well is the question of why Brett Partridge was at that house. He's definitely dead and was killed. Did RJ or someone else follow Brett their and kill him? Was Brett acting on a tip, a hunch, or a directive in going to that house before getting killed? Curious questions. I think it's odd no one has questioned why Brett might have been at that house.

Just another note on Mashburn...

Consider Laralie... can you really see her going for an arrogant millionaire, and could you see Masburn being anything other than completely dissmissive and dissinterested in a Loraliel?

Sorry to disappoint folks, but I can tell you that if you think Red John is Brett Partridge or Walter Mashburn, guess what? You will be wrong.

I love all the theories, but again, trust this, neither Mashburn or Partridge is Red John.

One last time. Mashburn is not Red John. Partridge is not Red John. If you don't believe me, let's chat again after episode 8. I guarantee you though, after episode 8, you will not be telling me RJ is either of those two cats.

Anyone on the IMDB Cast list could be RJ, and there's still probably some names not on the cast list for episode 8. I wouldn't rush to quickly to assume Mashburn is RJ.  I think a more likely scenario is that Jane calls on Mashburn for help. Seems more logical than him being RJ. Mashburn doesn't fit the physical descriptions of RJ (does not have notable posture or straight hair) and he was not on the list of 7 (unless Heller was lying about the list--seems unlikely).

GOing with my, gut, if the kill scene is Jane straddling RJ and killing him, I just can't picture Jane having that moment with Partridge, Bertram, or Kirkland. I could picture him having that eye to eye intense moment with Hafner. I can maybe picture it with McAllister. I really doubt RJ is Reed, but I could even picture him locking eyes in that scene.

Because it implies a real physical moment, I dont see Jane having that scene with Stiles either. No proof, just my gut.
