There is no way that McAlister is RJ. But I don't think anyone is. 

I fully believe that people on and off that list are part of RJ meaning there are many controlled killers.

People that could be in the RJ group are: Cho - Partridge (Who isnt dead) - Abbott - Wayne Rigsby 

There may be many others but I just came up with the idea.

Why RJ is not McAllister
In 6x08 how does Jane sneak a bird in when he can't sneak a gun in?

After sneaking a bird in... how does he keep it quiet while Bertram and McAllister are talking?

Why does McAllister not mention the taking of a memory. Jane only discusses a possible way that he could have guessed with Lisbon... so for McAllister not to even mention this means he has only been told part of the story (by red john?)

Why is the nun only carrying a knife? RJ surely would have had her seriously injure Jane with a bullet from the nun so he could finish the job.

Plot holes in my head
Lorelie martins went to kill red john for killing and RAPING HER SISTER . Now red john is not a rapist first if all. He is a pimp who gets women to do anything for him.


Lorelie went to see rj to kill him yet when she made the video she said red john is very mad for me telling you that you guys shook hands!? So hes not mad she tried to kill him? Or maybe she never tried ?
I believe tiger tiger killed her sister and macalister was "playing" red john raped her . He seems like a rapist right? Remember he tried to rape van pelt basically ?

And the biggest clue was the giant picture of a woman with the word ALive written on it right before you see her body without her throat slit ;)

My point: red john isnt a rapist look it up
Did tt make her make the video?
Or maybe rj and lorlie were just giving jane clues about tiger tiger. Questionable .


The mere thought that red john has a 3 dot tattoo is insane .
And ever THINK THAT MACALISTER doesn't read BLAKE AT ALL!!
Doesnt strike me as a man who sips tea and reads at all right ?

No way macalister is red john. If you disagree thats fine but i know better .
The evidence is immense against macalister.
I have a premonition that red john is a character that has been on the show since day 1.
I think the list of 7 was just a big political game by heller to save his show to get ratings so they can end red john right .
I mean honestly ask yourself, what other show EVER in HISTORY has its creator answering questions and giving away info weekly !!!! I dont believe a word he says its all smoke and mirrors in show biz people .
If you disagree and wanna be pissed off thats fine but clues get me going and i love good talks about this stuff as i am sure u do too.
SO LETS MAKE A NEW SUSPECT LIST JUST FOR US!!!
My top 3 for red john red john accomplices are as follows :
Wayne Rigsby- his character did a 360 this season
Van pelt- always mysterious and computer savy
Styles- lisbon eluded to him being alive . He wants to resurrect after death for his church
Wildcard: LORELIE IS ALIVE!!

What did that nice little guy (Patrick's friend who spoke some English) whisper into his ear when PJ was leaving the island? Does it have any significance or nothing?

I know im gonna get bashed for this, but there is something going on with rigsby this season.
He had tons of info on bertam and styles that came out of left feild.
He hasnt talked to jane all season.
The scene with him and cho with the usb was awkward .
The fact that he got uneasy when lisbon asked if he misses cbi or thinks about it and he quickly says "no.
I dont know what his connection to rj is or was bur he is obsessed with janes tricks and how he does them.
Jane called him a t rex of the dinosaur family . Cho was a stegosaurus ;)
When he was hypnotized he became a killer

Just watched the episode with ellie mars again and wow. How on earth did anyone think he was red john? I mean i have no room to talk but still van pelt and rigsby are a mystery. Mars has no mystery to him he is a funny character and i like him but he was a con artist and jane used him. Good ep tho
