LATEST THEORIES

Kristina Frye is Red John. She is sadistic and lesbian and likes to spank her victims so long that their back becomes red. Than, she does faceslapping to them, smack, smack smack. After being slapped by her, the victims have really red cheaks. 
That's the reason, why she calls herself Red John, actually meaning Red Joanna. 
She's intelligent, smart and equal to Patrick and she slapped his family to death. 
Would make as much sense, as the actual thing. We will see.

Kira Tinsley:
I have already talked about this scenario ad nauseum.
Tinsley was a young sloppy outsider placed ina game full of experts.
She was pointless yet she gave the most important clue about red john IN THE SHOWS HISTORY.
So i find it Plausible that her role and purpose was not as simple as a Rj mistake as we think..

It takes 3 seconds to use a taser and slit a throat.
Why did Rj leave her alive for the exact second Janes arrives.
And why was her last not words but sentence a name and not "tattoo on left shoulder" ?
Red John left her alive and did not use his knife for a reason.
He pinned her down and hypnotized her to say the tattoo thing.
She obviously didn't see the tattoo that night.
And lets say she was intimate with this person and saw the tattoo before. How would she know that the tattoo clue would be worth anything to jane? Theres tons of men in the world she coulda been killed by.

But she was not intimate with anyone. Her last words were so important and they led Jane right to the Ba.
Every clue fell right to Jane! Think about it if you were Rj a mastermind and wanted to take down the Ba how would you do it? He got what he wanted plus faked his death all by simply leaving a few breadcrumbs for Jane.

*That was the game. That was RED JOHNS RULES.
Jane knew this as he starred at the lady feeding the pidgeons.
He even got the last riddle of how to take down Macalister...BIRDS!
Season 6 was a huge chess game masked by a game of checkers.
Styles will return. Another poster reminded me of Styles last speech to his cult.
U know the one with the two hot babes one naked one not with fearful symmetry.
He spoke of leaving and returning. Simple as that the dude is pulling a Jesus.

**But Heller said this Heller said that you guys are all idiots its just a tv show!
Yea its a tv show built on surprises WHAT THR FUCK DO YOU THINK HELLER IS GONNA SAY?!
Do coaches give away info before a game just because a media guys asks? F NO!
For you to sit there alone at home and think for sure you know whats entail for season 7 you're dumber than dicks.
Did you guess Carter was Fake? Did you guess Mac was RJ and BA?
Be prepared to be surprised. Formermale

I know it's been a few years down the road and Bret Stiles has passed. But whatever happened to visualize? As far as I know, they have been under severe FBI investigation for a long time now. I think they should at least address this issue.

Macalister is NOT red john #74960"3'xe&(65

Rebecca Anderson and the foster care lady died for red john. Died with a smile of their face too.
Their devotion is that of a CULT like following. This is not a group of corrupt cops their dying for either.
They're dying for a reason too. Rebecca spoke about red johns plan. Seeing ones true self.
Todd Johnson spoke of the same.

Todd Johnson was killing cops
in serial killer fashion FOR RED JOHN. Why would he kill a SELECT group of cops one by one?
One of the cops was Hightower's ex boyfriend.
I believe these cops were Ba.
"The plan" Johnson spoke of was taking down the Ba. Killing cops does not seem like a Macalister thing to do.
And who killed Todd Johnson? Who set him on fire to suffer and why?
Red John followers either take a pill or magic killer goo is used.
Set a follower on fire? Craig Olaughlin set him on fire bc OLaughlin WAS Ba.
Red john didn't want Hightower dead why would he?
The ba wanted Hightower framed or killed or both. To cover up their Todd Johnson business.
-the red john i know does NOT hire an outside hit-woman (remember?)
And why would he send a guy to kill Hightower who did nothing by the way?
Red John handles biz himself.
He does not care about framing Hightower for the murder of Todd Johnson. Or care about OLaughlin at all. He was BA. Red john is against the ba.
*It all started with the DVD from Lorelie.
After that each clue easily led to the BA. Jane took each clue at face value and he never does that. He took them at face value externally, but inside he knows what going on.
Partridge saying tiger tiger.
Sparing Lisbon because WHY? Because Jane was doing what rj wanted, take down the Ba.

The usb
Were all clues that literally fell of janes lap!
-What does a show do when all it has left is a bunch of questions?
It already made the two main characters canoodle and happiness cant get any higher right?
The only thing left to do is fill the plot holes.
Its one of the greatest shows of all times final series. Honestly, what do you think their gonna do? And fuck everything bruno Heller has said!

People think i am crazy but the clues are all there. The reason we hated season 6 is bc we got no answers. There is no answer in Macalister, the head of the Ba, being a serial killer guro Charles Manson type.

Macalister is NOT red john #8271895

I was watching the ep with Kirkland describing his brothers past. How he was an alcoholic and was saved by a man.
Why would the leader of an organization change a young alcoholics life and recruit him if he has every lawyer and cop under his control? The Ba didn't have civilians that offer nothing.
Macalister does not seem like a guru type right ?

Listen you can tell me that Red John is dead and maybe your right but there is with a doubt in my mind another villain who is pulling the strings.

Side note: why would cbi appoint bosco to the rj case then kill him? Why not just remove the evidence he was on too? Very weird. Was bosco Ba?
Was anyone Ba before season 6? Lorelie definitely was not Ba and never mentioned them.
And if Lorelie was looking for red john to see if he killed her sister why not look into the ba too?
She never stood trial for her crimes or a pre trial and the fbi was obsessed with her yet Kirkland NEVER QUESTIONED her!

Brett Partridges first words on screen: Red John enters here. 
Really?
You have someone, who would have been the perfect Red John and then you kill him off with no reason. Partridge would be the perfect Red John. It would have been great, if he was revealed as RJ in 6x8, followed by an Mind Game betweetn him and PJ, like between Sherlock and Moiarty. 
Season 7 will be either the worst, with Love and happy live nonsens or maybe they will bring back some tention. 
Still hoping for the Real Red John Reveal, 

A true fan

What immortal hand or eye 
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?
