Obvious, all facts are well known and Red John know what Patrick think  ...

I find I curious how we didn't get to see a face to his 'dead' body in last Sunday' episode but only a burned shoulder. It's way to obvious for it to be Bertram, why would RJ be careful and fail to be careful because of a simple tattoo. It was on purpose, the showing of the tattoo, Oscar Cordero being there to witness it all.

My guess is that it's either Partridge or Haffner. If you look at the promo for 6x08 you'll hear a voice that is suppose to be RJ voice. Partridge and Haffner have very strange voices, well different you know. I like both these men for it, they fit the description, the age and they are both creepy in a charming yet sickening mysterious way.

If it's one of them I'll be really happy and otherwise I'll hope it's someone who will shock us all, someone off the list.

The last scene we saw inside Jane's house was...Stiles and Haffner sitting on the sofa(where McCallister sat before Jane tell him to get up).Jane who is not killed is nearest to the sofa than Bertram,Smith and McCallister...We know that Bertram ,Smith and Jane are alive.So McCallister must be alive too because it was standing far from the sofa than Jane...So the bomb must be inside the sofa or near him...My guess.The bomb was inside McCallister's police hat thats why Stiles and Haffner are dead and the others alive...Smart move Red John(Sheriff Thomas McCallister)!!!Really smart!!

By now everyone who has the slightest common sense knows that the list of 7 does not include Red John. Obviously Red John and Patrick are very close to one another and Patrick already figured it out long ago. First he took down his followers(Blake association) and now he's after him. Red John is either Patrick's father,uncle or sibling.

End of story.

Ps : Thank god partridge is dead.

s6 episode 7 The Great Dragon:

go watch the episode cause i found a funny thing, when bertram fails to kill patrick in the hospital he leaves and ther comes CBI Ron

Ron says: Hey boss, and suddenly theres a weird smile on bertrams face(his face is full of worries, and suddenly a a smirk weird as fuck :D....as if it's ridiculous (as if it's the other way around, ron is the boss and bertram is the servant)

I have watched that scene now over and over again and it simply doesn't look like he's trying to put up a brave front.


I AM NOT SAYING that Ron is Red John, just a scene that seemed very very weird to me.

go watch the scene, its really disturbing:

Did anyone notice Patrick stole lisbons phone in episode 6. Then you can hear an explosion and gunshot from the car. Is Patrick setting redjohn up big time?? I like theory 12203 because it gives a meaning to everything that's happened, even if it is fan fiction.

To be honest, I have no idea who RJ is. There are just too many hints and people involved.

In my opinion the storytelling is going very fast now. In the earlier seasons every once in a while there was an episode directly connected to RJ. I like the speed and intensity and how people showing off there real faces. But still, now it seems more focused towards the BA, which somehow is connected to RJ. Reed Smith seems to know a bit but can's explain it entirely.

I am sure there will be a big finale with something no one is expecting. It will leave us with new clues, more questions and a fresh start for the hunt of RJ next season. PJ will probably team up with someone even more unexpected. 
Heller is just too smart to reveal everything in the upcoming episodes. I kind of like that. 

Oh man, I love this show!
