LATEST THEORIES

You are all in denial. The denial that you think you know who Red John is. I'm holding my hands up and saying I haven't got a clue. 
Ron, pigeons Bertram these are all red herrings. Partridge is a red herring too. I have no idea who it is now I just hope it's not judge manchester or the bald guy in the first episode like people are suggesting. I still don't trust Smith believe it or not.

I will say one thing, the guy in the promo is not someone I recognize. it's not gale or partridge. It actually reminds me of bosco the most. He has no hair but doesn't look like the sheriff either. I honestly haven't a clue but with all these FAKE RED JOHNS, PATRICK IS STARTING TO BECOME A SERIAL KILLER HIMSELF. How many people has he killed?

I have officially jumped on the Partridge bandwagon as in I wish it were him, not that I believe it is, I don't. He is just a red Herring thrown in to confuse us

I'm giving up guessing now but will continue to read all these wonderful theories. 

P.S can we trust the tv guide article about the park. I am guessing we can?

This is my theory:

RJ is indeed McAllister.
---

At the beginning of the next episode, McAl walks into the church where Jane is sitting there from the end of the previous episodes. He then proceeds to telling Jane he won because Jane accused Bertram. Notice the suit McAl is wearing, it's the same suit we see him in running away later, he just was wearing a grey shirt under it that isn't visible from the back.

Anyways, Jane proceeds to wanting to kill McAl but McAl makes one of his infamous RJ escapes. That's why Jane is now chasing him down later. Jane then finds him in the park, and kills him.

How did McAl escape the explosion you might ask? Rigsby said the bodies weren't really identifiable, but they found DNA. My guess it is that they didn't really find bodies, just parts and small pieces burnt to a crisp. McAl planted his DNA and got out of there ASAP. With no McAl seen leaving, and planted DNA, CBI assumed he was dead, probably blown to pieces.

Did anyone notice when they were interrogating Reese Smith a person walking down the hall , a shadow, was whistling? RJ is a good whistler.

Anyone else would be boring. He likes red heads.
Red John would follow the advice "keep your friends close, keep your enemies closer."
It's Rigsby baby!!
Do I get a prize when I'm right?

My wife thinks its CBI Ron. I think Ron is Red John's (Rigsby's) right hand man. His number one.

Sorry if this entry is a duplicate --the page kept crashing. Anyway...After seeing the the 6x08 promo, I cannot get Sam Bosco out of my head. Yes, I know he supposedly died in s2, but since everyone is trying to resurrect BP, why not? ;p Seriously though --he is a cop, so there's the T-T connection, has the right creepy voice, had a major thing for Lisbon (hence why she got to live), had a contentious relationship with Jane...(and they've shaken hands after all!). Wkg on the inside unbeknownst to even his own assistant and minion Rebecca, so he had some accomplices posing as him to deal with her.

I know it's a reach, but in the promo, the guy in the church walking away from Patrick...who were supposed to think is Bertram? It struck me me how much he looked and was built like Bosco. Just throwing it out there. Besides, am tired of BP being the only potential "zombie" suspect..hehe.

First of all, I apologize if something is bad written, English is not my native language.

I have too many reasons to think Partridge will be Red John. We didn't see the face of Partridge when Cho went to see the body. Why was he wearing a suit? The man there said that for any reason they wear them before they are cremated. That would be a good trick for us not to see the wounds he was suppose to have in his body. Secondly, in the promo of 6x08, there are two pigeons on it, maybe it would be very evident to see two partridges. 

Who would be a better Red John than someone who has been literally there since the very first moment, in the Pilot episode? 
Every time Brett Partridge has made an appearance there has been clues that relate him to Red John, for example, Partridge appeared speaking in Spanish in one of the episodes, and Red John went to Mexico to kill Renfrew. In other episode, he makes a reference to a literature work of Dickens that both, Jane and Partridge knew, proving that he is a good knower of literature, like Red John, who said the poem of Blake's, The Tyger.

But the thing that makes me suspect the most that he is Red John, is the coincidence between the name "Roy Tagliaferro" and what it means, and the conexion that it has to a partridge (there are some theories that explain this on this site). There is no way Bruno Heller did this without any intention.

Some of you might think that as he is suppose to be death, he can't be Red John, but it could be possible that he faked his own death not to be a suspect anymore, or the people in the Blake Organization killed him, because if the CBI found he was Red John, they would have dismantled the organization. The erased tattoo in the shoulder is very suspicious.

And, as Jane said, he is a ghoul.
