LATEST THEORIES

I don't know what to think but you guys should know Red john is a man 1st Reason is cause the blind women said short hair about 5Ft tall. I would say Wayne but remember when they faked his death his height was about 6'3. 2nd reason is cause he had Bosco's assaint help him she love Red john and i don't remember her being gay so yeah he's a dude. Brett stiles is also to old i would say plus i think the blind woman would have said that he was old but she didn't

I need to make a correction to my previously submitted theory #146.  I inadvertently stated that Joan and the Reverend appeared in Season 2, when they actually appeared in Season 4 Episode 1.  However, I firmly stand behind my theory.  Red John suspects, as well as victims, have been diverse and scanned the course of many years.  Who better to orchestrate such an elaborate operation than a Cult leader?  Joan and the good Reverend could very easily have manipulated the Carter's to do their will.

I think it is the red headed female friend of Mrs. Carter in Season 2 Episode 1.  She has red hair and her name is Joan.  There was just something creepy about that lady and the reverend.  They could very easily have manipulated the Carters in some sort of cult fashion.

Grace in my opinion is the most reliable for the role of Red John, the reason that leads me to think that she is the killer is that first part of the CBI, so it has at hand all blown from the district. It was also the girlfriend with a follower of Red John, never close feeing great with the team to part with Wayne and see if the end of the third season has killed her boyfriend when it was discovered

I think RedJohn is Lisbon, or something like that. Probabily it's not Lisbon but she knows who is RJ. Nobody from the list is RedJohn i think. For sure he isn't Patrick Jane, it's ridiculous thinking that can be him. Who can kill him wife and doughter ? Who can engage some people and don't remeber that? For sure not Patrick.

I think Lisbon is helping RJ as CBI's informant .
Patrick think that he's able to read Lisbon's mind, but it's not so. Or he's reading her mind perfectly but he's waiting the right moment or he's waiting that Lisbon will lead him to Red John.

I think it's plausible theory!

RED JOHN IS Brett Partridge with a program because I managed to get a picture! Looks like him .... and then I compared the two voices, and are the same! he is, I'm sure ... he's a CBI official ...

Theory #141 • By Amie
Show this theory

Patrick is a master mind in manipulating. He has a strange side to him that sets off red flags in me. He could be using past subjects convicted as killers by hypnotizing them  to throw people off the trail of suspecting him. he probably randomly chooses people to hypnotize and manipulate to create a murder  mystery that surprised to note he solves. and Why?  he wants to take everyone's attention off of him by joining the CBI team so that no one will see his true identity. He is smart and clever and one could easily over look him as RJ.

theory # 2 It could be that the wife of the person Jane shot was red john . She was purposely baited by Jane when he added a key to the VIC's key chain. She could have been trying to find out if her husband was secretly hiding evidence to reveal her so she took the bait from Jane trying to see what the key would unlock so she could destroy the clues or evidence that points to her.
