LATEST THEORIES

It seems very clear that people with three dots on their left shoulder
are part of the secret group "tyger tyger". And this makes BERTRAM,SMITH
AND MCALLISTER amongst the members of this group or, if you like, Red
John's allies. This is why they are seen many a time together.I have a
strong hunch that only Red John's followers wear this TATTOO. Red John
himself does not have this tattoo and this makes STILES and HAFFNER
amongst strong contenders.
From the philosophical aspects of William
Blake's work, however, only Brett Stiles seems to be the person who
could understand, scheme and design an evil group  based on FEARFUL
SYMMETRY. Also, Bruno Heller himself said that Red John is not a loner
frustrated killer, rather he is like a schemer who might design the
scheme but might not do the dirt work himself. Does not a person as
intelligent, smart, charming and persuasive as Stiles fit this
description perfectly?

only a few hours left until episode 7 airs!

I've found a few more hints right here:

http://www.tvfanatic.com/2013/11/the-mentalist-preview-will-red-john-escape-again/

these are the ones I haven't seen before:

Despite being in an explosion and in the hospital, Jane's hair never looks less than amazing.
Someone utters the dialogue warning, "This is going to hurt."
If you need a reminder where "Tyger, Tyger" comes from, you'll get one. 
Some key fixtures of the show do not survive the episode.
A big change happens in the final scene that will make things more difficult for our team moving forward.

Bonus info about post-RJ mentalist : Emily Swallow was cast as a series regular and will appear in episode 9 for the first time.

Cheers :)

Theory #11630 • By RedJohanna

Surprise, surprise. Red John isn't really a man. He is a She: Red Johanna. Sex-lust bionic vampire sent from outer space.

And actually this isn't the real world. This is the matrix. And Red John is the one. The one with red hair (also bottom). Take the Red pill. 

Red John saw, that Patrick Jane and his family are/were Agents. Agents must be eliminated. Partridge is the Morpheus. The red face is remainder; this world is not real. 

It's inception. Patrick's family is dead. But it was Patrick, under inception. Incepted my Kimball Cho. Hard from behind.

Yeah.

Show this theory

Can Patridge be Red John? What if "Tyger Tyger" has already killed him at s06e01 and imitates him next killings?

19th & 20th Century:  The BUTLER did it!

21st century:  The CREEPY FORENSICS GUY did it!

Bret Partridge as Red John would be the BIGGEST "untwist" CBS ever produced [otherwise known as the "ass pull" on tvtropes -- you know, like out of your ass because the writer can't be creative enough] 

HERE'S SOMETHING DIFFERENT:

Bret Partridge fancies himself a Sherlock Holmes type, though Jane outwits him at every turn -- BP is book and fact smart but lacks mentalist skills and knows it -- and he looked like he was gonna cry in Desert Rose -- clearly BP seeks Jane's approval.

I would DARE say BP might actually be one of the GOOD GUYS who might have been conducting his own mini-investigation on the side.  Mostly, it seems he was killed BUT if BP faked his own death -- he did it to avoid RJ or to help CATCH RJ.  
Now THAT would be a good twist since it's expected that THE CREEPY FORENSICS GUY DID IT!

Probably my last post before the episode..and my most sarcastic. My summary of the site over the past week:

McAllister - It has to be him because Xander Berkley is the greatest actor who has ever lived that nobody knows.

Partridge - It has to be him because Jack Plotnick is the greatest actor who has ever lived and wow what an original twist... the creepy forensic guy did it...we didn't see that coming...oh and another twist...they magically bring him back to life.

Reed Smith - It can't be him because stocky people can't kill.

Brett Stiles - He's older than the other suspects so obviously he must be somebody's father. If he's not somebody's father BH should be shot and we should never watch the show again.

Ray Haffner - It can't be him because...we don't know why...it just can't be because we need Partridge to be brought back from the dead by his magical father Bret Stiles (where they grew up, family members share the first name not the last name).

Bob Kirkland - He did it because in one scene he has a beer belly. This clearly proves he has a fat twin who deals with his anorexia by killing people.

Walter Mashburn - It's definitely him because he sleeps with women and has money and (if you eliminate all the shows and movies that have done so) no other show has ever had a rich playboy killer.


Hope this clears it all up
