The Mentalist Exclusive: What Does Richard Haibach Know About Van Pelt's Kidnapping?

Is Richard Haibach finally getting his revenge on the CBI?

As Jane (Simon Baker) and Lisbon (Robin Tunney) ramp up the search for Van Pelt (Amanda Righetti), who was kidnapped on last week's episode of The Mentalist, their investigation zeroes in on the secretive photographer.

Spring TV Preview: Where we left off with returning shows

Earlier this season, Haibach (William Mapother) vowed vengeance on CBI after learning that he was one of the decoy suspects named on Jane's fake Red John list — which led to Haibach's kidnapping and subsequent torture at the hands of Bob Kirkland (Kevin Corrigan).

Now it's two years later and the CBI has been disbanded, but someone's been murdering former agents left and right. Is it Haibach?

In this exclusive clip from Sunday's episode, Haibach seems to have a disturbing amount of knowledge about the circumstances surrounding Van Pelt's kidnapping — and he's certainly less than thrilled to be back in the company of Jane and Lisbon.
