OK, I am going out on a limb here. Be warned, my theory is pretty out there and not exactly cohesive or complete. But, I've been re-watching Season 1 and I remembered things that I didn't think were as significant back then.

However, the whole Van Pelt suspicion some theorists were showing got me thinking... We obviously know that her father was a football coach, it was mentioned a few times throughout the series. In addition, we can recall that RJ said "Roll Tide" to Jane which is most likely a reference to the University of Alabama's football rally chant (coincidentally the team is called 'Crimson Tide'). A lot of interesting correlations...

Further, in S1, when Jared and the prostitute are murdered in Tijuana, the blood on the wall says something like "he is mar" which many of us have suspected was meant to read "he is many" among other things. BUT, as I re-watched, the first thing that came into my head was Heisman, as in the Heisman trophy that is given out in college football in the US.

I've also read on this site that sports trophies are seen in Bertram's office. Perhaps a closer look into this is needed!

My question now is that do we have ANY indication of if Van Pelt is from Alabama? Her background really is a mystery. I'm very curious about this whole situation. I may just be looking too close at the details but it's worth thinking about.
