And if the list was that of episode 7 or 8, with Minelli, Mashburn, Ardiles or Harken? I think Red John is more likely to be in this list. In his interview, Heller said "this list" but perhaps the list of the last episode he was talking about ...I'm french so I need details about the interview Heller
I think Van Pelt is Red John because , when Patrick thinks that other mediums dont have powers , she does. Dont you remember that Red John killed his wife and his daughter because Patrick didnt believe that Red John had powers?
I don't really have a good idea on who it is - but I am pretty sure who it isn't - Bob Kirkland.
There is a timeline issue as to whether Lorelei could know that Bob and Patrick have met as she was incarcerated at the time.
There is the manner in which he kills Jason Lennon - no trademark killing here.
But for me the biggie is Jason knows RJ (hence the reason he has to die) and he doesn't know Bob Kirkland. Therefore Bob is not Red John.
If it has to be one of the seven, I have to go with Brett. But I wouldn't be surprised if it were not one of the seven. I think Patrick set a trap with the board and the seven names. Obviously, RJ knows the names because he broke into the attic and saw the results. And Patrick knows he did.
Watched the season five finale again. Isn't it interesting how Lorelei pronounces the names? She says all of therm at nornal pace except for Raymond Hafner. She actually says his name slower than the others, making sure to sound out each syllable, or make sure she doesn't slip up. It's almost like a Freudian slip prevention. Also interesting is the way Lisbon looks up at Patrick after Rays name is called.
I have too many theories for each of the individual 7 suspects, but this was something I recently noticed.
He is the most unexpected, the most WOW moment there can be.
He knows Jane the best, and he fits all the descriptions. He is a little strange, odd behavior, never mentions wife, kids, love live, family. Can easily be loner, frustrated and oppressive with women. He is definitely a winner, he cant cope with losing even a poker game.
I will be shocked if he is reviled as RJ, but better him than Kirkland or the fat old CBI detective. Kirkland is so much expected, and Reede is boring and there is so little about him we know. And he is in fact dull and unlike to be a true charmer and a leader. And RJ is definitely a leader, he has powers beyond a normal mediocre person.
Next in line for me are Stiles and Haffner,the can easily be the charmer and the power leader RJ is.
I'm not so much accusing Summer however after watching Pink Tops, Its revealed that Summer ordered 3 bloody marys to her hotel room off a stolen credit card and is also seen drinking one in the bar with Cho...Totally missed this watching it the first time but now looking back when we know the whole thing with Bloody marys,Jane and Kirkland, its odd
I'm pretty sure that Red John is Ray Haffner.
First of all, Red John was a member of Visualize. So does Ray.
Also, we know that Red John worked in Elliston Barn. And when Jane asked Haffner if he had worked there he evaded the question.
Red John has decent friends in CBI and FBI.
Haffner had worked in both. And certainly he made some friends. ( Perhaps Bertram? )
Also, Haffner shook hands with Jane on screen. Which can make a strong ground as Heller said "if we watched carefully Red John will be revealed" And he can't name him as good friends of Jane.
On the other hand, he fits all discriptions of Red John. Height, age...
I also believe that Brett Patridge is a strong suspect, too. But as he is fan's favorite. I think Heller won't make you say "I knew it!".
