What is J.J. LaRoche's dark secret?
In the season 3 of The Mentalist, Patrick Jane threatens J.J. LaRoche to expose his secret if he doesn't give him his suspect list. LaRoche's secret is something he keeps in a tupperware in his safe. Jane actually bluffs since he knows only of the existence of the tupperware, but has apparently no idea of its actual content.
Later on, Jane says that whatever J.J. LaRoche's dark secret is, it must be horrible.
Is there any clue to what J.J. LaRoche's dark, horrible secret is?

Answer 2
I understand that's not the answer you were looking for, but there's no real clue about LaRoche's dark secret.
By the way, we know a lot about its personality and that could bring some consideration to the "discussion". He lives in a big house fitted with monothematic ornaments and only a cat as a friend. He's extremely detailed and obsessive. He has good feelings. He probably experienced a tragic lost and maybe he feel responsible for it. His secret could be someway related to this profile.
