LATEST THEORIES

Bruno said in an interview there is a clue buried in the last sequence of the first episode of the new season 6. I think the clue is this;

In the last scene Patrick asks Ron has he seen Lisbon, Ron says no then he walks away and Patricks phone instantly rings..

I think Ron was in the house, he stole Lisbons phone and went back to police station waiting for Patrick to arrive back from the desert so he could call him and give himself an alibi at the same time.

In the scene where Red John is wiping the blade he has one hand holding the blade the the other hand is wiping it, how can he be talking on the phone at the same time to Patrick? This means the director is making you think Red John is still at the scene when Patrick is on the phone to him when actually he is back at the CBI office.

If you look at the very last sequence there is alot of attention made on Lisbons mobile phone... When she is in the office there is a close-up of her phone showing Patrick calling.. in the creepy house her phone vibrates... and then in the last scene the first thing you see is Ron walking the hallway with his mobile out..

Why would the director put so much emphasis on their mobile phones?

I just don't understand why would Bruno Heller kill one of rare characters on the show that appeared since the pilot and that has been one of people's favorite for Red John role. I refuse to believe he's really dead, at least till i see the next episode.

Here are my thoughts on what might have happened:
1. Besides Lisbon and Partridge, there was another person in the house. Proof: Partridge was locked from the outside in that closet, no way he could have done that by himself.
2. He is really dead. Red John killed him, end of story.
3. Scenario where he might be alive and it was just a trick for Patrick to think he can't be Red John anymore since he's ''dead'' (Something Red John would actually do to protect himself since Patrick is getting closer) -  When Red John is calling Patrick from Teresa's cellphone camera is on Patrick answering and Red John saying something like: ''Sorry Patrick, Teresa can't come to the phone right now, can i get a message?...then camera switches to Red John who is holding his knife with his left hand and wiping it with his right hand while saying: ''No?'' - My question is with which hand was he holding the cellphone? You can notice the ''No?'' is coming from the room where Red John is and the voice does sound like Brett.

Personally, I never thought he can be Red John (I have a solid theory for Bertram and I stick with him), but this was just a little hope for all the people that were and are still believing Brett is Red John.

All in all, even though if he really is dead we can at least say he was Red John's friend. (Tiger, tiger) ;)

Bruno Heller said that there is a clue at the last scene of The Desert Rose.The Clue is that when Lisbon called, waiting ouside the house, for aid they did not come which means that Red John or a friend of Red John has the power to stop the officers come to the house.I dont accuse Brett Partridge but i choose him because he has the most theories so you can easily read my theory for the clue.

  Latest comment of mr Bruno Heller about a "very big clue" in last sequence of episode "The Desert Rose" had only strenghten the idea that Red John is the devil himself (pentagrams, 666's, marks of the beast etc. on walls when Lisbon enters the abandoned house and many other signs in previous episodes). He uses his minions to fulfill his deeds. Brett Partridge is nothing but another tool in this episode, like every person on the list that Patrick had made. The list of suspects is a second great plan (another one after his "year of despair") to roundup the real killer. Jane knows that he can't keep a secret unnoticed and just let it spread, Red John might take action and might make a mistake.

In my humble opinion the character known as Walter Mashburn is a human personification of devil, Red John, the only bed lover of Theresa Lisbon.

This is not a theory, rather a way to sort things out!! So I think an easy way for Patrick to reduce his list of suspects to only one suspect would be to record every suspect's voice and then to ask Rosalind Harker wich voice is the one that sounds in  the same way as Roy Tagliaferro's voice sounded.

First of all: I have an idea who RJ really is, but I'm not shure.

Partridge is dead. It is confirmed by Bruno Heller and Jack Plotnick. Jack Plotnick also stated, that his voice was nerver used for RJ. Bruno Heller also stated, that Partridges death was a part of RJ's plan. Partridge HAD TO DIE that early. In addition to that he stated, that there was a major clue in the final scene of 06x01.

According to this, I think I figured out the "major clue".

Fact: Partridge is dead. But AFTER he died, RJ called Patrick and spoke to him with a voice very similar to Partridges voice. He did the same a couple of times before and he also spoke with a voice similar to Patricks (Lorelei in the limo). Some of you thought, RJ used a voice maipulator. But I think, you're wrong.

Fact: RJ painted Lisbons face in a "clown stile". Remember: There must be a link to Patricks carnie days.

Now adding this: Here is the "major clue".
In fact Red John  is a quick-change artist and an impressionist.

And that's how he could "act like Waldo" for so many years. No, no, no! He is not imitating Elvis or Tina Turner, maybe in his own carnie days. :-)

In this way, he collected the informations to make the list. We all know, that Lisbon is a "chatterbox". She was the only one, Patrick told about his plan to make list. She may have told that to...no, not RJ, intentionally...but  RJ, disguised as (maybe) CBI- Ron?

Do you think, this is nuts? Well have you ever heard about a french 60s crime-comedy movie called "Fantomas" featuring Jean Marais and Louis de Funes?

The clue that Heller was talking about may have been the fact that the Sac PD squad that Teresa called right after the distress call, never arrived at the house. The person with the power to make that happen can only be.....
