I have been accusing Bret Partridge since the pilot episode. Every episode involving Red John, directly, Bret Partridge makes an appearance . He matches the blind lady, Rosalind Harker's description exactly. The voice is a dead ringer... He is first on scene usually with the Red John murders.. He is forensics ... Which means he can manipulate evidence.. As far as him " dying" in the first episode of the new season... I believe it is just misdirection, he is not dead.. Unless we physically see his body buried in the next episode, he is alive.. Why in the hell would he be lying there dying, and mutter the words, " tyger tyger" ? Did red john cut him up and tell him, " now bret... Before you die, make sure you say, tyger tyger" ? NO! Lisbon is NOT DEAD either. Just knocked out.. And my guess is we wont see bret partridge till the last episode! ALSO!!! The BIG CLUE that Bruno Heller says is in the last scene with Lisbon where she gets taken... After Partridge falls out of the cabinet, Lisbon kneels down to check on him, then the door creeks open and as she stands back up, notice, her back is up against a wall. Effectively, no one can be behind her. When she gets "grabbed" , you see her fall backwards, as if someone grabbed her from behind. Which, isn't possible. Ergo, bret partridge , while on the ground, swept her legs from underneath her. Boom
