THE THEORIES

I'm actually okay with the main guts of the leaked 6.8 episode, the confrontation between Jane and Red John / Sheriff McAllister in the church, pigeon tricks aside. But I do wish they would rewrite/refilm every other part of the episode. The rest is so forgettable that they might as well have had 40 minutes of commercials instead.

Still better than Mass Effect 3 ending, though Bioware were courteous enough to release a dlc... This is not happening for the mentalist most likely...

Brenda could very well be Red John, because she is firstly a news reporter and no one keeps tabs on her. Secondly, how come she is still alive..... Why hasn't Red John killed her?

It is also easy for her to get accomplices, because of the fact that she knows so many people outside and inside the CBI. She is also the most informed person; which means that she knows everything that is happening, hence making it easier to plot a murder (if she is Red John). Who else could hack into CBI? Besides, she has seen a lot of murders herself, so WHY CAN'T SHE KILL ON HER OWN?

She could have very well killed the REAL RED JOHN and carried on the legacy!!

I am nt saying she is RJ but I think she is involved somehow.  Here's why...

Why would they bother making it a point to show she was working with Volker if they weren't going to do anything with it.  I think that they will either bring back the Volker case or they only showed that to prove that she cannot be trusted.

In "Little Red Corvette" it is revealed that Tommy Volker was one step
ahead of Lisbon was because someone was leaking him informations about
the investigation.And that someone was revealed to be Brenda Shettrick,
the head of the CBI media Relations unit.
Now, what if that's the way
Red John is always one step ahead of Jane as well?Someone could be
leaking Red John details about the investigation and that someone may be
Brenda Shettrick.Maybe that's how she ended up helping Volker too,
maybe Volker and Red John are buddies and RJ made Brenda help Volker.

I don't think red john is one specific person. Its def Bob Kirkland with Volker and some others who would know such as Kirstina Frye, Lorelei Martins. In season 5 episode 8, Bob comes in telling Lisbon that he wants her to let go of the Volker story. The way Volker kills Amanda (secretary) is the same harmful and disgusting way Red John kills his victims (also by using someone). Also, when Bob walks in he incorrectly pronounces Lisbon. This is a very minor supporting example, yet it is significant because Im pretty sure everyone knows who Lisbon is. His high voice is also shown 2 episodes ago.

Also, what happened to Kristina Frye? She suddenly dissapeared? She definately has something to do with it.
