After season 5 ended i posted a theory suggesting that Ellis Mars is Red John. Although i still strongly believe that he is Red John, i have recently come across some information that would also lead me to believe that Gale Bertram is RJ. I was recently watching an old episode of The Mentalist, called "Red Queen." Toward the middle of the episode Bertram is talking to Lisbon and when he is finished talking he recited a poem: "When thy little heart doth wake,Then the dreadful night shall break." This poem is called Cradle Song by William Blake. I then looked up the poem "Tiger Tiger" and i wasn't surprised to see that it was by the same writer, William Blake. This is a great reason to believe that Bertram is Red John, I still support my theory that Ellis Mars is Red John, and i actually don't believe that RJ is on the list of seven suspects simply because The Mentalist isn't your average crime show, and a simple proses of elimination wouldn't fit the style of the show, PJ has always been the mastermind solving the cases, and the only way to find RJ would be with his skills. If you haven't read my theory on Ellis Mars, go read it, and read the more recent ones as well, and i think you too will believe that Ellis Mars is Red John.
