LATEST THEORIES

I know this website is called who is Red John, but I am the only one who is more interested in the why, how, what, and where of RJ?  Which suspect he is is in fact compelling, but also we gotta find out how he does everything behind the scenes.  How did he learn his tricks?  How many followers does he really have?  Hundreds, Thousands?!  Why did he become a serial killer? etc etc etc.

One more point.  You know how Patrick sometimes figures out who the murderer is in a case but doesn't tell anyone else?  Then he pulls something to catch them and prove they're guilty.  He even did it the season 6 premier (twice! baseball player and diner people).  He's done in a lot of episodes.  What if Jane already knows who RJ is and is just plotting how to catch him?!   That's what i think he might be doing, just playing the game or pulling one of his tricks.  Except to get RJ, it has to be much more complex and elaborate that the little things he does in "the murder of the week" type cases 

Please give me your thoughts in the comments

I have the gut-feeling it's him! Can't wait to watch the following 2 episodes when Red John ...ooops, sorry Sheriff Thomas McAllister will come back. 

He will also appear in the episode in which Grace and Rigsby are getting married. That will be interesting. Will he again try to get Grace in his car? ;o)))

I want to post my theory, but we need a forum. There are too many good theories and conversation to watch it all fade down the list.

Is there a good forum somewhere that anybody knows of? 

I've suggested they make a forum here on this site. Please vote it up if you agree :)

Does it seem odd to anyone else that it's dark when Lisbon goes into the house yet there's light coming through the windows....could be a streetlight I suppose....it just seemed a bit brighter than that to me....

I believe it's him. Did you recognize how he watches Jane in Episode 2 Season 1? And when Jane looks to him he looks away very fast! It's very creepy! He is RED JOHN

Rosalind Harker is the mastemind behind the Red John Organisation and she comes from the past of Jane's life.
Red John is Jane's opposite even though more than a single person, Red John is an Organisation. Jane himself is the cause of some of their crimes. Both good and evil, angel and demon, come from Jane's past, like Jane himself, first he was a fraud and conman, then a person who helps other people.
Rosalind Harker herself is connected somehow to Jane's past and Roy Tagliaferro and the others are simply the executors of her plans.

What about all of the seven are Red John?

Why Bruno Hellar  chose number seven for final list?

There is also a painting by William Blake: "The great red dragon" where a dragon is shown with seven heads. 

Please comment why this is not possible.
