LATEST THEORIES

Prepare to be amazed...!!!

I did a little research 'out of the box' on our remarkable English writer Bruno Heller.

Bruno Heller has written 19 episodes of The Mentalist
It's a common knowledge that the head writer only writes his own episodes, because it is important to him that it stays accurate how he wants it.
We can conclude that all the episodes except for the 19 episodes of Bruno Heller are fillers. This is common in the Hollywood scene, that's why they hire other writers to fill in the gaps. This is how CBS earns money, more episodes is more money.

I have researched which of the 7 suspects have appeared the most in the episodes that Bruno Heller has written on his own.
My research list of the 19 episodes that are written by Bruno Heller:
Gale Bertram       5 episodes



Brett Partridge    4 episodes.


Reede Smith         2 episodes


CBI Ron                  2 episodes


Sheriff Thomas McAllister 1 episode


Ray Haffner   0 episodes


Bret Stiles       0 episodes


Bob Kirkland 0 episodes



We can conclude that Gale Bertram and Brett Partridge are really important to his own story. Reede Smith was also important, he helped Red John with his FBI access!
The characters with 0 episodes are probably not even made by Bruno Heller!

ThePhantom strikes again..!

I was watching all the episodes from season 1 episode 1 to season 7 episode 3 and I realised something odd about Wain Rijsbi. From the very start, I knew it was him because he is just like Red Jon; he is smart, tall and works in the FBI. In season 4 episode 27 (entitled "Red Rose"), Petrick says that Red John is in the FBI...so is Rijsbi!!! Plus, Ven Peelt, whom recently divorced Rijsbi also told Petrick that Rijsbi was Red Jon.
From the evidence above, it is now evident Wain is Red Jon.

Getting seriously fed up with the 'killjoys' who seem to be intent on slamming, bashing, criticizing and attempting to tear apart every theory on here using 'sarcasm' as their weapon of choice.

There isn't $1 million for the person who get's it right, and it's not a competition. There are also no 'awards' at the end for the contributor who tore down or 'broke' the most theories.

I don't give a shit if someone suspects Bruno Heller himself of being RJ. It is that person's right to theorize and post his theory here; without being made to feel 'stupid' simply because he/she has made a few grammatical errors (because English truly isn't their 1st language) , or doesn't quite get the symbolism; or god help them - they don't know the works of William Blake (mortal sin round here that....)

Judging from the intolerance levels; almighty shows of perceived superiority tripled with a desperate need for credit and attention round here; it wouldn't be out of place to assume that we have a few sociopaths amongst us. Perhaps one of the contributors here is RJ.

Live and let live. Theorize and let theorize.

Could Bertram and McAllister be brothers?

Check out the photo in the comments. They look quite similar!

This isn't a theory but a technical question. A couple months back I noticed something about Bertram from earlier in the series (perhaps from season 3). I didn't actually have him on the top of my list, but I wrote some comments anyway because there were some clues potentially pointing to him... And I can't for the life of me remember what I wrote, and because of how this site works I cannot seem to find my original comments. It's almost impossible to troll through all the comments on Bertram as it slows down my ipad/computer to the point that it hardly functions. On top of that, something must have gone wrong with my "username" so I'm not actually sure who is said wrote the post.

Thanks in advance!

Ok, this is more a few questions to discuss rather than a theory.

In Jane's flashbacks I noticed a few interesting things.

Check out the photo's in the comment section.

Firstly you'll notice that Haffner changes places on the couch when PJ walks the three Tyger Tyger people over to the wall.

Why would he do this? Maybe he knew where the explosion would be and knew he would be protected from the blast in that spot?

Secondly, McAllister appears to be holding something in his hand. A trigger perhaps?

What do you guys think?

This isn't much of a theory just stuff I was thinking about...

Don't you find curious that Stiles was shown pouring blood over some girls and then "drawing" on their faces? That has to mean something, otherwise it would be pointless to even show it. 
I do believe that most of those who were in PJ's house are not dead. We never really see anyone die and there's much more to be explored, whether it's who placed the bomb and why Stiles (was it him that shouted?) yelled something before the blast. 

I don't know if you guys have read or at least know Agatha Christie's book "And Then There Were None". The whole plot is pretty much 10 people stranded on an island and "judged" by an unknown voice, assumed to be the house's owner. The thing is, they all die and we don't get an answer until the very end. (So sorry if I ruined the book, but it's necessary) Turns out that the killer is one of the characters that died in the middle of the plot. He carefully prepared everything to go out as he wanted, leading the police to think it was an impossible scenario. 
Partridge "dies" right at the beginning of the season, giving out an important clue. I wouldn't be impressed to see him cheat death, knowing exactly how to "act" as a corpse. We all know Red John has contacts, which would explain why his autopsy is written. The dead body we saw recently might not even be his.

I also think Red John might be an old member of Visualize, meaning that Stiles (is..) or knows exactly who it is. He claims he has more reasons than the FBI waiting for him to miss the meeting with Jane. Maybe he knew exactly what he was going into. 

After reading a ton of theories, I think my picks (for now) are McAllister and Partridge. I don't see Bertram or Reede as Red John, even though they are definitely involved with him. 

P.S: Isn't it just really messed up that Ron shows up in almost every episode in the background or saying something? He may not be in Jane's list, but you gotta admit it's weird and it can't be just because!
