je n'ai pas de theorie , mais juste une question , pourquoi personne ne parle du poignet casse de Lisbonne dans l'episode 22 , sa cache quelque chose ?? je pense que c'est elle John le rouge mais il doit avoir un rapport .. et pour la liste , john le rouge a su avant que jane trouve les 7 noms vu que lorelei a ete tué bien avant dans les episode .. ce qui fait que bob kirkland aide John le rouge a avoir un coup d'avance sur Jane et je reviens a Lisbonne c'était la seul qui savait sur quoi Jane travaille dans sa cachette .. et si Lisbonne était elle aussi une complice de John le rouge ..
et quand on voit la liste des 7noms , brett patridge est le dernier a sortir .. et la camera reste longtemps fixé sur lui par rapport aux autres ( oui je sais je parle de quelque seconde ^^)

I would say that Lisbonne is a disciple of RJ

in the latest episodes... she is the only one who knew about the existence of PJ's board..
Suddenly those guys brakes into his place to take pictures of his progression... they knew it was there!
PJ knew somebody got in... then he burned all of his clues, so it wasn't really a big surprise for him that RJ knew the list of his suspects

Second thing... Lisbonne knew about that cop being part of visualize(S5E13) and he might of worked on the farm with RJ where the dead bodies were found... but she kept the secret

NOTE:
The board that he made... i think that it's  a big lure...
when he cracked the toothpick in his door... he knew someone would get in..
He smiled when he saw the piece on the ground...
Everytime Lisbonne called him, he was saying that he was busy... but in fact he was just sitting around doing nothing...
Lisbonne is always asking him to  give her up the names on the list

We
know that RJ are a very charming man according to Rebecca and Rosalind. So he’s
probably a good looking man.  A very good
manipulator. Rebecca didn’t mean anything to him so he made her believe that he
loved her.  RJ couldn’t risk her talking
so he had to kill her.  Why is Rosalind
Harker still alive? We know that she’s blind but… why having her alive. Sp she
must mean something to him. Rosalind shows relief  that he’s not dead when she’s touching the
fake RJ’s face. Same time when he’s visiting her she looks very happy and not
scared at all. She even make tea or coffee for him. She’s loyal to him. He
likes listening to her playing the piano and he likes William Blake a classic.
So we know that he likes classics. In Season 4 ep. 13 we’re seeing him at
Rosalinds house in a costume, drinking something like tea or coffee. So he’s
probably a person people are seeing like a good, good looking man.  He have contacts and find people very fast and
easily.  Like he found Panzer and killed
him after Panzer insulted him in tv. He took it as a challenge and no one calls
Red John for a amateur. He doesn’t like Agent Darcy because he want to play
with Jane not someone from Fbi. But the same time he can’t say no to a game. By
having the fake RJ he likes to watch how far would Jane go to catch him.  RJ hate psychics and people who think they
know him. He have insiders everywhere working for him both people who wants to
work with him and people that he’s maybe blackmailing (people with very dark
secrets.). He loves to see his victims fear just right before he kills them. It’s
a kick for him. He thinks himself as a artist and I think he also have a feminine
side. He painted two of the victims nails, one of them was Janes wife. I think
Rosalind Harker are that girl that Jane tricked with his father when he was young
at the circus. They tricked her and her grandmother with a crystal that would
make her well again.  And wasn’t that
10.000 dollars they paid for the crystal? So I think it have a deeper meaning
than the RJ killings. If Red John works for CBI he’s working at the lower job.

I think Brett Partridge is Red John. Roslind Harker  if u cast around her name a little bit it's almost like Red Iohn, just the J is missing. I really hope Brett are RJ because the actor Jack Plotnick he's a amazing actor and could play that role good.

·      -   Likes
to talk Spanish (RJ have been in Mexico.)

·  
-    
He
likes Red Johns work a little too much like Jane says.


·    
-     
He’s
44-


·      
-   
He’s  just under 6’0 feet.


· 
-     
He
works at the CBI as a Forensics Technician and have taken every RJ case since he begun killing. Very easy to hide
proof.


·  
-   
He
sounds like RJ and have a crazy voice.


 

·        

- When
he’s  describes the murder he sounds like
he’s gonna get a orgasm.
- He loves his job and he loves working with  the Red John cases.


 

·    
-     
He
calls Jane or the murderers for “Idiot.” I don’t know to who it was directed
against. But he looked shocked when Jane came in into the room again, like
getting caught.


 
-·  He
doesn’t like psychics and makes fun of Jane. He doesn’t like Jane. I think he
was impressed when Jane told him about the victim just by looking at the things
in her room.

Just wanted to say really enjoyed a lot of the theories so far, some really well thought out, intricate and very plausible ones. Not so much a theory as to who exactly Red John is, but my top three suspects (in no particular order)

1. Gale Bertram (Director of CBI) 
2. Brett Partridge.(Forensic expert at CBI)
3. Ray Haffner. (ex-CBI agent and known connection to visualize)

I choose these three as they have direct access to CBI, even though the others have had access too. 

Other possibilities.

4. Bret Stiles. 
5. Sheriff Tom McAllister.   

I have chosen to eliminate both Bob Kirkland and Reede Smith. Kirkland because I think it's too obvious it's him and that Heller is playing a bluff (breaking into Jane's "office" and stealing his files and findings into Red John) and killing RJ's accomplice in the hospital ("Do you know who I am"). I've eliminated Reede Smith purely on instinct, I have no reason why, but I just strongly feel he is not Red John.

'Minelli' is an italian surname as is Red Johns alias Tagliaferro

When Jane and the CBI go to Tiujana, Mexico in "S1 E11 Red John's friends" Minelli simultaneously has gone on holiday.

At this point Jane had resigned to Minelli.

Red John contacts the CBI team directly via computer during this holiday time. He asks "is Jane there?". 

If Red John was anyone else he would have known Jane was there.
