Who is Red John?

Theories of bink lanham (8)

I still fail to understand that if Haffner, Bertram or Partridge were Rj, then why would they have used a "CBI Mole" to frame Hightower when they freaking work in the CBI themselves!!!!!

In fact, Bertram was one of the suspects to be RJ's mole anyway so if he was Rj, then he could have burnt Todd Johnson himself rather than make O Laughlin do it and all that rope BS by Isla the assassin.

If Bertram was RJ, then he never would have gave Jane the clue about the rope which exposed O Laughlin and got rid of his trusted disciple??

You people need to get over the fact that Partridge is dead and is NOT coming back, The theories which said Partridge is RJ is just as ridiculous as the ones which thought Rosalind Harker, Lisbon, Van Pelt, Rigsby, Cho, Minelli, Sam Bosco were RJ LOL.

As I pointed above, Bertram cannot be Rj either.

It is either Haffner or Reed Smith.....

Going back to the scene, when Gale Bertram, Reed Smith and Thomas McCallister are having their meeting;

Smith asks "Exactly how much does Jane know" to which Bertram replies "that is the queston isn't it" and smith replies "It is your job to find out".

For me, this was an important scene because it looked like Sheriff McCallister had no idea what was going on but Reed smith was curious to know what Jane had figured out. I think Smith is Rj's insider inside the CBI.

Smith was almost directly threatening Bertram so I don't think Bertram is RJ, that not his personality but I get the feeling Bertram is also trying to spy on Jane.

My bet is still on Ray Haffner since he came to visit Lisbon and mentioned how 'lucky' she was to be alive. it would make sense...

After re-watching the season 2 finale, the last thing Rj says to Jane before leaving is "roll tide"
This is what the waiter said to Kristina Frye in an earlier scene. Here is the link:

"Roll Tide" is the rallying cry for the Alabama crimson tide which is the collective name for University of Alabama's varsity sports teams.

Now, lets think about which one of our 6 suspects is also a former athlete?

The only one is Ray Haffner as he was a former football player and he even has an award in his office!!! I wouldn't be surprised if he was an Alabama alumni...

It seems unusual to me that RJ would say something random like "roll tide" to Jane unless of course he also had a connection to "roll tide" which I just pointed out above.

Haffner also has the charasteristics of being RJ since:
He is a visualize member
He is a good talker and is charming
He is good at surveillance techniques and is a former CBI agent which explains why it has been so difficult to track RJ
He also seems to have feelings for Lisbon which would explain why he hasn't harmed her yet/

Some people here are a strongly in favor of Gale Betram being RJ.

HOWEVER, in the season 3 finale, why would Gale Betram have planted the seeds of thought in Jane's mind about the rope and directly leading to O Laughlin's and Timothy Carter's death?

Why would he have wanted O Laughlin dead when he was such a good RJ disciple and nearly killed Teresa Lisbon and Hightower?

Not a theory but an observation and inquiry on my part....

Some people have suggested that it is too obvious that Bob Kirkland is Red john and he is most likely Miranda Martins boyfriend which would explain why he killed Jason Lennon.

However, after watching Red Sails in the Sunset and There Will Be Blood, Miranda Martins was killed something around 2007.

But when we were watching the episode Red Dawn and the particular scene when Alexa Schultz and Bob Kirkland were talking with Virgil Minelli regarding getting updates on the Red John files, that was around 2003-2004.

So my question is that why was Bob Kirkland pursuing Rj when Miranda Martins was still alive anyway? The timeline of events doesn't make sense....

I don't think Bob Kirkland is Rj to be honest but he must have some other motive regarding the Red John case.

What do you al think?

Please do share your comments and suggestions!!

I feel like the list of 7 suspects is misleading and the real Red John is someone else.

I still fail to understand why would Gabe Bertram, Ray Haffner or Brett Partridge would have a 'mole inside the CBI' to eliminate Todd Johnson when they were there themselves ?? (Bertram was one of the 4 suspects anyway and was very close to the holding cell where Todd Johnson was)

Sheriff McCallister, Brett Stiles and Reed Diamond do not match the physical description of Rj as provided by Rosalind Harker

Bob Kirkland was not recognized by Jason Lennon so he cannot be Rj either.

I strongly suspect that Rj is someone with ties to Jane's past carnival life. Although I think it is unlikely it is his father, it could be something like a twin brother since the show has not made ANY references to Jane's mother.

Thoughts?
