LATEST THEORIES

As last night's episode revealed, Red John has a way into Jane's mind. 

I believe that Jane was hypnotized as a child. I had a theory that he was potentially hypnotized by Loraline but Jane would have been too ontop of things to let that happen.

When Jane was a child, I believe he was hypnotized by Red John, who infused these memories into his brain. And as we all know, you do not remember being hypnotized.

This theory leads me to rule out Brett Partridge, one of the highest suspected; let me explain why.

After a bit of research I came up with Jane's approximate age of 42 years.

This means that if Jane was hypnotized as a child, only a few suspects are old enough to have done this to him. Brett Partridge is too young.

The suspects I have in mind are Bret Stiles, Gale Bertrum, Bob Kirkland(doubted) and Sheriff McAllister ( I believe Sheriff McAllister is the most plausible suspect ) due to clues involving smell stated in other theories. I also think Bret Stiles is very plausible as the two families were at "psychic war" and Bret might have done this to show/trick Jane that psychics are a real phenomenon.

I believe that Red John is the mother from "How I Met Your Mother"...

No really, if Bruno Heller hadn't said that Red John is one of the 7 names on that list, I would have thought that RJ would be revealed as Patrick Jane's brother (maybe twin brother) if he has one. That would be very interesting.

As with many wih Schizophrenia, one personality may know of the others existence but the other has no clue. Red John knows he's Patrick, but Patrick doesn't know he's Red John. He's charming enough and clever enough to get people to do his bidding. The childhood memory that only he knew about the girl murdered last episode sealed it for me.

Bruno Heller said that the list is true.

Well, according to that I'am seeing two posibilities.

One of the seven is Red John, as many people said the only one on that list which match is Brett Patridge

Otherway the list is true because the list is a code and...

I let you see that list and think.

The list thing is a parlor trick. The timeline here is blurred it would seem..anyway the parlor trick is this: the magician has you write a secret on a piece of paper and he does the same, then they seal the "answers" in envelope or something..sometimes they burn it...anyway..while the trick is being played out, the answers are revealed and they "magically" match up. This is a trick that is played by real entertainers the world over and Patrick's character even. The video was set up that way. I am sure that Names board was used to make the video...how I don't know, but again that's the secret of the trick. But in my mind it is just that...a trick.

I still can't decide between Jane and Kirkland. I believe more it's Kirkland but here's the Jane theory.

I think Jane is insane, like Johnny Depp in Secret Window. He does all the killing but he doesn't know that. 

I never thought of this until last episode with that memory. 

BUT still Jane shook hands with Red John and this is what crushes my theory and puts Kirkland in place

i dont have a theory but i have some questions. i think there is something fishy first of all why does lorelei have no gun shot wound in the scene where she is dead also how did red john know what lorelei said to jane. something lorelei said reminded me of something lisbon said in the message from red john he said you just got a lucky break lisbon always says this
