The blade we see at the end of the s6e1 is soaked with blood. You see the blade horizontaly with a uniform layer of blood. RJ uses the blood from that blade to draw the smiley. He's clearly an artist but what strikes me is the shape of the blood. For it to be this way, RJ must have a bucket of blood of some kind. If it came from the body, it would not be uniform and strikes would be visible. If it came from the floor it would not be uniform on all the blade. What physic tell us is that this blood didn't came directly from the body. Also, Partridge body didn't seemed to be leaking much blood.
When Partridge fell on the floor, he still had much facial energy before and during the moment he spoke. As soon as he finishes/Lisbon attention turned to the noise, Partridge body went limp. If, for some reason, he was forced to say Tiger Tiger, he would have kept his energy after that... He just went motionless. What is the best thing to do to make sure the other person give full attention to the source of noise ? Disappear from the "important" list. Living human = need to be saved. Dead body = moving on.
24hours of work on the body in the desert, really ? Away from everywhere ? You need time to stage a kill. There's the mean for it. Add to it that in the next episode PJ says RJ killed quicker then usual. Well if he's dead, he's got lots of free time.
Forensic tech = best people to stage a death if the body are switched before the autopsy.
At first I though RJ was hiding behind Partridge in cupboard. But then I though, 1- Being in the dark, Lisbon eyesight had ajusted and unless he wore all black velvet, should would have see him. 2-RJ looked her outside through the window and then went with Partridge in the cupboard. Partridge would have seen him watch outside and keep quiet ? Doubtfull. 3-No blood was on the floor outside the cupboard which mean Partridge was waiting inside and RJ pushed him to go behind ? But left him alive and waiting like a big kid alone in the cupboard before that?
He collapse on the floor when the door opens. Ok why didn't he collapse on the floor inside the cupboard if he was in bad shape ? Why did he stayed on his feet alone, dying and waiting inside a cupboard without any ray of light(hope) ?
