Theory #4567 • By SoulJuice
Show this theory

it is maybe faaaaaaaaaaar off but:

in S1E11 we got to know that "He is Mar" - just take it as it is written - and forget about everything else.

Bruno Heller's dad was a German Jew - so Bruno Heller probably speaks Jiddish. If i am not veeeerrryyy wrong "mar" means "Mr". in Jiddish. I am a native German speaker and translating "Mister" into German - there is only ONE possibility - it means "Herr" which you can use to adress men or LORD. As we learnt from the show - you never stray too far away from your environment when creating an alias.


So my guess is Stiles (reducing everything to the basics!) even if I can not shake off the feeling that it is Bertram!

Apart from Stiles and Kirkland we know when the other 5 suspects will be appearing in season 6.

Partridge and Bertram episode 1.
McAllister, Smith, Haffner in Episode 2.

Any news when Stiles Kirkland will appear ?

99.9% Gale Bertram is the first suspect to leave the 7 list!

Prove:

1 Less suspect from the list of 7 by the end of the first episode in season 6

http://www.tv.com/shows/the-mentalist/the-desert-rose-2880260/cast/
There are 2 of the suspects that play a role in that episode, Bret Partridge and Gale Bertram, but BP is only guest star (meaning he will only say "bla bla died.." and that's it), while gale bertram is recurring, and will be the only recurring star that is on the list in that episode = bye bye GB.

NEW PROMO!!! ***SPOILER ALERT***
No Theory...Just watch.
Among new footage In the video..if it isn't clear..
Patrick walks into a room (a setup most likely) with Van Pelt and Rigsby, Van Pelt asks him what the plan is..Patrick tells her to shoot anyone that tries to harm him.
Also Lisbon telling someone about the SEVEN SUSPECTS OVER THE PHONE(Really??) and Patrick warning her that Red John will lead her on and get to her!!
And The most shocking part
********MAJOR SPOILERS DO NOT READ FROM HERE IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW********





Red John has completely broken into The CBI and we can see his trademark smiley all over the CBI HQ, with Lisbon and Rogsby watching over smiley's painted on the floor and other places, while two people can be visible in the background, shot and possibly killed.
One is a girl leaning against the wall in the far background and one person fallen to the far right.
BADASS. I'm dying of excitement. Its gonna be AN AWESOME SEASON. CAN'T WAIT!!

The fact that the majority of Mentalist viewers actually believe Red John to be one of the suspects on Jane's list of seven is laughable. At what point has this show ever suggested that the true murderer is the one that Jane + friends suspect? It's always the person that has given you NO VISIBLE REASON to suspect them. Why would Red John be any different. The list? A RED herring.
This series ain't over and they wouldn't show their final hand until the last possible moment. It's no one on the list and this entire upcoming season is going to amble its way to that inevitable conclusion. We might ultimately be closer to the truth, but we might have all just fallen for another stalling technique. Wrap it up before it gets stale, is what I say.

Two main suspects for me: Sheriff McAllister and Gale Bertram, in that specific order, with a lot of support from a bunch of characters we all know (Partridge, Styles, KFrye, CBI Ron, etc.) Not giving credit at all to Rosalind Harker's description of RJ since it's been demonstrated she might  be fooling us... What i take as a lead is Rebecca's reaction when she's approaching soon to poisoning her RJ at the prison and the body structure of that particular man, IMHO only similar to that of McAllister and/or Bertram... Many things have been detailed about Bertram but not enough have been said about the Sheriff so i'm leaning that might be a misleading omission for us to think RJ might be somebody else... We'll see in a few weeks... Enjoy S6!
