ricl jan

while he's on tv show, red john killed his family. but how? john has to know his address before he watch tv. but he also considere to kill his family Jane is a lier. so it's impossible. also john can't be fast like that.
you remember Jane has been in hospital because oh his pschologic situations. you know why? because he has more than one personality.

truth is: Jane is red john. he kills his family before he showned up tv. he killed womans before; maybe because of their thoughts while they were talking with Jane as a fortuneteller.

thats what i think. but i have to add that Jane doesnt know that he's Red John.

 -I think that Red John may be Bret Stiles' son, who broke away from him around 1988. 
-Quite possibly Walter Mashburn.
 I think Lisbon is afraid it may be Mashburn, and that is why she looked so anxious to know the names at the top of Jane's list.

Jane's bulletin board at the end of episode 5/13 reveals that the Smiley Face Killer (Red John) killed a female victim in Clovis, California in 1982. Prior to this episode, it was believed Red John's first victim was killed in 1998. We now know of the Elliston Barn murders in 1988. Why did Jane not reveal to Lisbon and the CBI team that he knew of a Red John killing that occurred in 1982? Also, if Ray Haffner was 21 in 1988, he would have been 15 in 1982. Possible to be Red John, but unlikely.

Jane once used the saying Ockham’s razor ( how the simplest solution to a problem is usually the correct one) What would be the simplest answer to who Red John is? and there you go Red John

why RJ is not killing PJ or members of the group?because is one of them...and i think that it's Teresa. after so many years she feels affection for her group, but nevertheless she needs to kill.
