LATEST THEORIES

Not a theory, but after watching a few older episodes, and specifically "redshirt," I've decided I'm going to be completely disappointed sunday if RJ someone on the list of 7.


In redshirt jane solves a case using at least 3 clever schemes and discovers that Doc's wife still loves him. This happens in 48 hours. If Jane kills RJ and it is someone on the list it will be bc RJ made two HUGE mistakes after making like 2 small ones in 25 years. Firet RJ shares the bit about shaking hands, then he doesn't kill the private Investigator and she sees his 3 tattoos.there is nothing clever about it. No twist. No great wcheme to teick the bad guy ibto making a miatake, just oure dumb luck. Just thinking abiut it upsets me.

I like these theories because they don't refer to "who is Red John?"

They explain all the loose ends from the show

Theory 11340:  http://www.whoisredjohn.com/See-a-theory-Red-John/11340


- Why Patrick never went to Rosalynd Harker
- Why Patrick made a list and why these people really made it on the list
- How Red John got the list
- What was the meaning of Patrick saying Red John killed the PI? How does it fit into his plan?

Theory 12782: http://www.whoisredjohn.com/See-a-theory-Red-John/12782

- Who are Reede Smith, McAllister and Bertram?
- What happens in Patrick's house?
- What the hell is happening in Great Red Dragon?

Everything has been going to Patrick's plan. The Mentalist has this game won.

Green = You know that Red John's reveal will be Disappointing.

Red = You know that Red John will fit the description and you will be happy for
the character playing Red John. ( Haffner - Brett - Micheal )

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..!

Theory #12952 • By RedJon10101
Show this theory

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.
