Theory #2034 • By harrist
Show this theory

I think Wayne Rigsby is the real Red Jhon :) my theory is RJ love stuff that related with RED, e.g Blood, Red Hair ! as we all know Wayne like Grace VP (red hair), and also at season 5 episode 16 , lorelei said, RJ actually someone that Patrick Jane already knows, and she said, Jane should make friends with Jane, but we all know, that wayne friends are Kimball Cho, but not with patrick Jane! even wayne is not to smart on CBI, I think wayne only pretend so patrick can recognize RJ,

if my prediction right wayne is the real RJ! to be Honest ,I am not surprise :D lol

Theory #2033 • By fairyface2013
Show this theory

I have always suspected Van Pelt since the start. My theories may be flimsy but just a few things I believe, Red hair for a start. In the pilot Van Pelt is introduced to Jane and shakes his hand, she also has a go at him around the dinner table showing a complete hate for him. Shooting her fiance is also intriguing, was he doing it for her? When pregnant in real life amanda righetti was kept in the show when other programmes would have written her out until she was ready to come back, I know she has now finally been written out with the story of her going on a course but it just seems weird? Like I say I've put this on as a little guess for fun but I have always suspected her. I wonder if I will be true. Is red john definately going to be revealed in season 5? I am a viewer in the uk so may be a bit behind you in america.

Theory #2032 • By RdJone
Show this theory

In my opinion i think that it one big conspiracy so that people think that its someone amongst the characters who is RJ. What i think is that its some government related or maybe only the whole CBI related conspiracy involving some fishy official who has other plans for the CBI. Those of you who might have watched 'Prison Break' or know its plot would find it familiar ;)

I think that chapter 2x08 teaches you a lot, and by paying attention to that chapter in particular theres a lot of things you can disregard, and options that you can exclude as early in that chapter, for example.

1.- For those who think that PJ maybe RJ, this chapter pretty much refuses 99.99% of possibilities, it cannot be PJ since he interviews rebecca and then RJ poisins her, you can see in Rebeccas face that shes facing love, shes facing whoever RJ is, so im 99% sure we can forget about RJ being PJ.

2.- Even tho is technically possible, is really hard that minelli is RJ, since he was in the questioning room in a suit, then few seconds later RJ is in another part of the building dress as a police guard, and if he was minelli, somehow the other policemen cound have seen him or recognized him, this also makes Ron a higher suspect, since from the body build that you can see from the back of red john and the fact that he could be there in the building at that time then change and go to his regular place, increases the chances.

3.- Again, from the body build of RJ in the police guard uniform, you can easily asume that is not laroche, and that is not Stiles, and that it should be someone that could remain in the building by changing his clothes and be hiddin in plain sight.

4.- In my oppinion, the producers are playing us and damn they are doing  a great work, we are as obsessed to know who RJ is as the same PJ itself,  if you ask my oppinion, the producers are on purpose making kirkland one of the main suspects, basically so we rip or heads off by saying, "He cant be, is too obvious" or " he must be, is so obvious", either way, kirkland is Red John, or is hunting Red John or is a part of Red Johns Web, one thing im sure, Kirkland is going to be the key to reveal who RJ is, the best way to keep us interest in the show for next season, is revealing who red john to us in this season without letting PJ know, so we can be waiting for the next season in pain waiting to see what would happen...

Well, This is my 2 cents, Who is RJ? at this point is completly useless to make a guess, somehow even when we find out, a lot of ppl will not be happy with the decission and we will find loose ends everywhere, probably because on the first seasons not even the producers knew who red john was.

Almost sunday and hopefully one day closer to figuring this thing out.

I am 75% sure that Kristina Frye is RJ for many reasons:

1. She is the only smart person that can be compared with PJ, even though she is pretending to be a psychic, she is intelligent and may be RJ.

2. In season 1 red john was known to be a male when the dead guy drew with blood on the wall " he is man", RJ wont let such thing happen so he or she would write it to confuse the CBI.

3. When Kristina talked about RJ on live TV and then put to protection, she disappeared under unknown conditions and it is possible that she escaped by herself because it is hard to kidnap without attention.
