LATEST THEORIES

Why doesn't Jane simply record the voices of all the 7 suspects (without them knowing) and play it to Rosaline , as she had sexual relationship with RJ and talked to him she might recognize his voice.
I think RJ is the one who looks more likely to be not.For example Bob Kirkland- we think that its too obvious that he's Red John, but think about it - when Bob asked the man in the hospital if he recognizes him, the man said no.Maybe RJ has made a plastic surgery , but he still improves his new voice and act so he wanted to know if hes doing it well by asking the man if he knows him.The man said no and RJ doesn't need him anymore so he killed him before he could tell PJ Red Jone's previous identity.There was no smiley face because the nurse knew who is the only one who had entered in that room.So RJ made sure it doesn't look like a murder and especially from him.

I found something awesome...

reading a theory on this site about the episode "His Red Right Hand" made me renember a book I that I saw a time ago.

This one

http://www.normanpartridge.com/fiction14.htm

I couldn't find the BOOK, but he was wrote by "Norman Patridge".

Considering the image of the killer looks like Patridge and there are many tricks of Bruno Heller with us, this could be a message that the right hand of RJ is Patridge.

What do you think?

We all know that Bob Kirkland works for Homeland Security. So he has to have access with the person who sees everybody in the cameras. He looks & probably make some of them targets.
That's why I think Bob Kirkland is Red John

When jane first met Bob, he looked at him suspiciously and asked him I f he knew him. Bob answered by saying that he knows him. And then they shook hands and there was kind of an emphasis on that handshake. The following episode , jane learns that he shook hands wiyh red john. Also in the 99th episode we can see bob kirkland talking to the head of the fbi telling her to talk to the head of the cbi to keep updated on janes work in the red john case

"does anyone know who you are?"

when jane was hallucinating charlotte, she asked him that question. that means he is hiding something about his true identity. his wife and daughter must have figured out he was red john when he mocked him on the tv show, so he killed them and said that it was rj getting revenge. and he used the same plan to kill the other serial killer by making him mock rj. jane even said that making him mock rj was the only way that 'HE' could stop him.

i am not 100% behind that theory as there are some flaws in it, like the shaking hands bit, and when they came face to face when rj saved jane.

i have another theory though. why didnt rj get revenge on jane by killing him instead of his wife and child? that for me says that rj wants jane alive so he could chase him. rj seems to enjoy the thrill of the chase and he knows that jane is smart and he would enjoy the little cat and mouse game that they are playing. so if rj is not jane, then it is someone with a personal connection to him, thats how he could know about that happy memory, he must have been with him.

Theory #4171 • By rawad
Show this theory

Red John is not a specific human. It is a forever name, to hide the other face of FBI's crimes, so if Mr Jane wants to look for and take revenge of Red john, he is really fighting the whole FBI, and he 'll find nobody. He 'll face "polymorphic" Red john.
FBI will never be guilty, Red john will be accused of all crimes.
