LATEST THEORIES

Dr. Royston Daniel = Red John.
Roy = the alias RJ uses
RJ would be confident & arrogant enough to use the shortened version of his name as his alias
Dr. Royston is a genius, a top hypnotist, very successful, very smooth, good looking, fits the description of RJ as per Rosalind Harker, and possesses skills of manipulation and hypnosis only very few talented people can perform (Kristina Fry was hypnotised to believe she was dead).
There are many other factors pointing to the strong possibility that he is RJ, however, it would take days to explain...
Check out S01 E18 , the only episode he appeared in..
In my opinion, I say, he's guilty!!
Let's see...
RJ could only be Kirkland, Mashburn or Dr. Royston in my opinion..
Minelli was hypnotised by PJ (see S01 E18).. I don't think it's possible to hypnotize RJ.. Many other factors which lead me away from Minelli as being RJ..
It would be too cliche is Stiles was RJ... I would be disappointed if stiles was RJ... Surely the producers are more creative than that...
Anyway, interesting to see what everyone else says..
I am a Mentalist fanatic!!

Come on
people! There are some ridicoulus theories here :D 

The guy with his tongue cut off is not connected to RJ in any way in my
opinion. He is just trying to say something and I'm pretty sure it's some
random words. I don't hear anything like "it was him red john" haha.
It's just closure to the episode and Lisbon is realizing what's in the
tupperware box.


Another
thing – why shouldn’t we all be excited about upcoming season finale? I think
it would be very intense and the fact that Jane has a list of 7 suspects is not
the whole point of the episode :P Actress playing Lisbon said that the episode
would be surprising. There would be some twist for sure and some new
information about RJ maybe. Of course there also should be massive cliffhanger
to keep us through summer! So I’m really looking for it.

As for RJ
my money is on Virgill. It would be very interesting and not disappointing
solution at all for me. It would be cool to rewatch the episodes with him (and
there are so many!) and catch little clues that were there all the time. I see
RJ as some older guy like Virgill and a little bit of oldschool (season 1
finale, the farm and all this stuff in the house). It’s more like Seven or Saw
kind of mood than some ultra rich guy, Lamborghinis and women (Mashburn kind of
guy) if you know what I mean. Also his conversation with Patrick on the pier is
a clue for me. It can be understood in two ways. When Patrick told that for one
time he has advantage over RJ and Minelli said “You sound nuts my friend” that
would be awesome if he is RJ. And also conversation about Dorothy from Cansas
and Patrick asking If I’m Dorothy then who are you? And Virgil’s answer It
doesn’t matter who I am J It could have no meaning at all but on the
other hand it could that’s why it is so good RJ for me. He could also have a
lot of money and connections which are not explained or show. He also likes
fishing like the guy Lorelai shot. A lot of clues really if you think more
about it or maybe red herrings :D


My second
suspect is Jason Cooper ;D Not much history but it would be also nice. And the
hug Jane gave him what was all this about? He may be testing his suspects
really subtle how they react and surprising them.

Max Winter
could be good Red John too. There are really some possibilities for writers and
it’s cool.

Gale
Bertram would be surprising but disappointing for me. Kirkland no way he is
definetely shown this way to throw us off track it would be to easy. There's
another story besides him but he is not RJ. Anyway take care!

Laroche's Tupperware contains the tongue of the man who raped his mother but when Lisbon was interviewing him he seemed to be saying Red John...

The only thing that makes me believe there is only one person who is the real Red John, is that Jane believes it too. He always refers to RJ as a "him", and as a single person. He aknowledges that RJ must have a network, but always being certain that there is one person who is the head of this network. 

But let's imagine Jane being wrong about this. In that case, Red John is not necessarily one person, and maybe the man who tied him to a chair is a different man than the one who posed as Roy Tagliaferro, for example. Because what guarantee do we have that Red John is one single person? We don't. 

What strikes me as odd, though, is that this thought doesn't seem to ever cross Jane's mind. Being smart as he is, he would've thought of this; and if he didn't, or if he discarded this idea, it's probably because he knows, deep down, that Red John is one person.

Jane's been wrong about many things, but I don't think he's wrong about this. I think there is one and only Red John. I just need to know who it is. Though I do have a guess about who it isn't: Partridge. 

My guess is that he shows up every once in a while to throw us off, because honestly, he's got no characteristics for it other than having an odd voice. Plus, that guy's quite dumb; and if he's not, he plays it well. Either way, I think it would be way too obvious and boring if it was him.

Haha..yes, the trailer says the suspect list will be reduced to 7 names..but don't get excited..it doesn't says Patrick gonna reveal the list or we will see the names on it..I personally think they will keep it a secret..to keep us on the edge of our seat..
my suspects would be Danny Ruskin and Alex Jane and I admit I'm just fishing in the sea..

Kristina Frye is my suspect. She is at least a member of Red
John's organization. My reasoning is as follows below. First in Red Sky in the
Morning she spoke out about Red John on T.V. Who would call out a serial killer
on TV? Someone who is stupid, desperate or involved. Kristina fry shows in a
prior episode she is neither stupid, desperate or unaware of what Red John does
to people who talk about him/or her. So why talk about him? Reason two. How did
he grab or convince her to leave her home without anyone noticing. Every cop on
the protection detail can't be working for him. And we have never heard of any
calls, texts, or any communications to draw her out. Reason Three. Why is she
one of the only survivors of red john? How did Red John let her call onto a
radio show telegraphing her presence? And I'm sure we all noticed Red John
refer to Kristina and Jane date by saying Roll Tide. So either Kristina with in
less then a day talked to red john a violent killer or Red john was watching
the date very closely. Also Red John has a very slight voice. Perhaps that is
because Red John is a woman. And to those who say Roseland Harker described Roy
as a man. Maybe Roseland only met a devotee or maybe Roseland is lying. And Lorelei
refers to red john as her lover which does not exclude Red john from being a
woman. Red John has always had an almost romantic jealously. P.S. If you have
not noticed we often see a reference to Del mar, Oval Tanner son was Due Mar,
The man killed in Mexico wrote He is Mar, Kristina Fry was found on Del Mar St.
What it means I’m not sure.
