ARGUMENTATION

Hi Guys

I am again not here to accuse but rather to add new evidence I have not seen anyone mention here before. It is with regards to the first episode of season 6.

Bruno Heller mentioned that in the last sequence there is a big clue, and lots have mentioned the birds and the writing on the walls. The sequence begins with Teresa getting a call saying that someone is in distress and she sees that the address is the same as the one where Partridge is.

So I took a closer look at the little screen showing all the GPS trackers and I see the following:

K, S1, S2, B, P, M, and and H. So from this we can deduce the following:
K = Kirkland
S1 and S2 = Smith and Stiles
B = Bertram
M = McAllister
P = Partridge 
H = Haffner

Also we can safely say that Red John is DEFINITELY in that house because he calls Patrick Jane and we hear the 'Red John Voice'.

Now, I looked at the locations of all the other GPS trackers. I know this does not really mean much as Red John would probably be smart enough not to take his phone with him. But this should actually still give us some sort of clue as to where the suspects are supposed to be while the events are taking place. 

Haffner, McAllister and either Smith or Stiles shows on the tracker as "IN TRANSIT" so they are on the move while Red John is in the house. I can't really see Red John giving his phone to someone to drive around with so lets assume that these guys are out. I'm not sure which 'S' this is, but the screen says S2 in transit so I'll assume it's alphabetic and say it's Stiles.

The location where Partridge is and where the call directs Lisbon is 5570 West Huron, Sacramento CA. So here is a list of where the other 3 suspects are:
B - Bertram, 725 Delta Street Sacramento CA, 13 minutes from the scene.
S1 - Smith (?), 862 Laurel Street, San Francisco CA, 1 hour 37 minutes from the scene.
K - Kirkland, 352 Grant Rd, Los Angeles CA. 5 Hours 39 minutes from the scene.

All the above I did through google maps.

Kirkland is both too far and too dead to be involved here.

Now if we go further and compare how far all of the suspects that are "IN TRANSIT" are from the scene, we see H (Haffner) and S2 (Stiles/Smith) are closer than S1, meaning they are less than an hour from the scene by comparison. Also, we see that McAllister is almost equally as far away as S1. 

But as I said, why would RJ's phone be moving while he is in a house committing a murder? 

This leaves us with Bertram, Partridge and either Smith, or Stiles being closest to the scene.

As I said you guys can use this info if you want, I'm not accusing anyone. Just providing some new intel.

Thank you for reading.
