LATEST THEORIES

If Partridge is Red John, I think he should come back dressed as Red Vader. Then Patrick and Red Vader duel with their lightsabers in the park. Patrick's blue clashing against Partridge's red.

I am so sick and tired of everyone accusing Stiles of being too /old/. Are you effing nuts??? Why does matter someone's age in this context? It would matter is one is too young not too old, damn it!
Stop saying that Stiles is old, that's also why all of you are wrong: because you are excluding the obvious one because of his fucking age, you morons!

Reede Smith and Ray Haffner are not RJ because they are too stupid to be him. And they are huge pussies: exactly the opposit of what RJ is!
The Sheriff is/seems too kind (or whatever) to be RJ. He is also not afraid of heights which RJ is. So not RJ either.
Bertram is the head of the Tyger Tyger Conspiracy so... not Red John!
Also, all four of them are taller than 6! So... NOT Red John.

Bret Stiles, he's old (happy, you idiots?) but so what? Are you telling me that McAllister and Bertram are children? You're so ignorant.
Stiles is the most intelligent person in the entire series, he is the most powerfull person in the entire series, he knows Patrick the best out of everyone in the whole series (yes, even of Lisbon, 'cause he shares a past with him), he is the only one to have followers in the whole series (as head of the Visualize, and obviously the Tyger-Tyger Conspiracy working for him).
He is the father or just a father figure to Brett Partridge. Now, Stiles is dying of cancer and what he is doing is leaving his entire work (as Red John) to his "son". Partridge is the second cleverest person (or third, depending where you put Patrick) in the series. Partridge's body is missing (the one Cho saw was obviously not his), and the voice in the next episode's promo is his.
End of story.

Watch this for more clarifications:

I'm sorry for being rude, but that's what you get when you dismiss someone for being OLD!!!!

Just want to clarify something , the reason we don't see partridge's body on 6x02 or his face at 6x07 is simply because the production of the mentalist would have to pay jack plotnick to do it , its simply this , money , relax , patrick saw it, I'm not saying he is dead, patrick may have seen and knows this to , but the body not shown to the audience is simply business, no meaning

Honestly they should've made next weeks episode 1 hr long.

This would have given enough time for a lengthy confrontation between Patrick and Red John.

i don't want Patrick to simply catch Red john and kill him.

i want both of them to discuss everything since the beginning.

Call me crazy... but I'm hoping RJ is Timothy Carter.

He's the LAST person we expect.  He's been dead for years!  Absolutely no one on this website thinks it's him.  He's not even an "accuse" option.

We never did learn why the morgue attendant that dealt with his body, was killed.  Maybe it was to conceal his "resurrection?"

And after Stiles's little ritual, with the painting of the acolyte's face mirroring the painting of Lisbon's face at the end of "Desert Rose," I'm still expecting a resurrection -- of someone who was believed to be dead at that moment in time.  I originally thought, Partridge, but Carter would also fit the bill.

We've been promised a literally jaw-dropping finale, and at this point none of us would be surprised if RJ were ANYONE on the list.  TC as RJ would blow us all away.

I doubt it's him... but I'm hoping.

If it's not, Partridge would be my choice -- but I'll be happy whoever it is, if it's a good story well told.
