Hey Guys I've been watching the mentalist since S01E01. Believe me guys Bret Partrige is in fact dead it has been confirmed by Bruno Heller and CBS so please for you guys who keep saying he's alive it's not true. As for who red john is I have been suspecting Bertram for a while now and I just landed on Michael Gaston's profile on twitter (he plays Bertram). I found an interesting picture which he posted in August along with another one. He was shooting for the mentalist S06. It says: ''NO QUESTIONS'' on both the pictures.
Here is one of them... https://twitter.com/Gastonacts/status/365294786237841410/photo/1
Although it surely does not mean anything I feel like a ''bloody'' Bertram could be quite suspicious given that he is the CBI chief. Regardless, it's not hard evidence but I am really starting to believe it's him.
