Isn't it Carl'sJr ?    Their logo is a complete knock-off of the Red John tags

I think they are making Kirkland and Bertram look guilty but then it'll turn out that they are the good ones and they know RJ is in the CBI.  Maybe even Haffner is helping them.  I feel like there is somone that everyone is overlooking but I just don't know who.

right from the very first episode, brett partridge was implemented as a crime scene analyst.  you very rarely see him, 3 episodes in total so far i believe   But, isnt it curious....why did the mentalist start where it did?  why didnt they start at RJ killing PJ wife and kids? or when PJ joined CBI?....the program started at that cbi case for a reason....for revelation.  

remember.... your a ghoul.  he is urksome, sorry...he urkes me 

Van Pelt is going to be Brett Partridges wife.  brett partridge works for the fbi...and van pelt is away to the fbi for 'special training'....right when homeland starts investigating for an obvious leak/mole.

I truly believe that Red John is Robert Strickland because he has the voice, the handshake, power, an interest in the Red John cases, and appears in most episodes involving Lorelei...But i think that it is becoming too obvious. So this got me thinking are they finally revealing who Red John is and allowing us to see how it unfolds and how Patrick Jane finds out? Or could this be an elaborate distraction? I tried to think of a counter theory of why Strickland looks so guilty and i think that if he is RJ then he is involved because...he has also been a victim of RJ, maybe he killed his brother, mother, wife, child or something. This also gives him an urge for revenge so he wants to keep up on RJ case because he wants to kill him like Jane. Also when he shook Janes hand and said he knew him this is because he knew about all the other RJ victims, also he seems excited to meet Jane because he knows that he is very smart and likes that he wants to get revenge too. That is why he forces his team into everything involving RJ. This is just a counter theory of why it may not be him...idk!

Red John is a CBI agent/officer. Homeland security knows it, that's why they are investigating.

Also, in the last episode (s05e16 "There will be blood"), Bertram and Kirkland assume they "can't trust anyone"... and they are in the CBI office.

Patrick Jane grew up in a traveling canrival with his dad. Lorelei was found dead amongst some carnival items. She was looking for Red John and may have found him. Red John is either Janes dad or someone else from the carnival but don't know anyone else from there yet.

I think Red John is Harker Rosalind. I think she is because if you were red john what would be the best disguise? a blind woman. No one would think a blind woman would be a serial killer. Also because the name is red john everyone's thinking is a man because the john part in the name. Finally her hair is red. So anyone who thinks its her i highly agree with you that she has a very high chance of being red john.
