I think RED John is a group of people. Last nights episode when the group was talking after Jane left the room. Its Bertrams job to keep track of what jane knows. The others seem to order him around. And if any of them are individually RED John that bit makes NO sense.
I think red john is a group of people maybe 3 or 4.
it explains why so many people act suspicious , they want you to try and pick out one when it may be all of them. Also there were 4 people that went to go see that psych that just got killed.
Plus we have seen a few of them that cant stop whistling
Theories are based off memory and the belief that the list holds true.
Let’s begin by eliminating two suspects:
Brett Partridge
He was murdered by Red John and confirmed by Bruno Heller in an interview
to be dead.
However, this leaves us with two major questions.
1) Why was he killed?
I’d prefer to think of it as Heller killing him rather than Red John killing
him. Partridge was the number one suspect for a majority of people, such a plot twist
would leave us scrambling to reason out a new favourite suspect and it makes
for a more thrilling story.
2) Why did he say ‘tyger, tyger’?
He was hypnotized by Red John and Lisbon opening the door was the trigger (I believe
RJ also hypnotized Kristina Frye into thinking she is dead), he promised to say
it to avoid further torture and the third reason I’ll explain further down.
Bob Kirkland
He had homeland security agents break into Jane’s room to steal information on
RJ. This occurred several episodes after Lorelei was found murdered therefore
RJ knew who the 7 suspects PJ would narrow down to very early on.
Remaining questions: Why does he want to
be kept in the loop on the RJ case? Why did he steal PJ’s info? Why did he
murder Jason Lennon and asked do you recognize me before doing so?
My theory is that he, like Patrick Jane, is looking for revenge. I believe RJ
murdered Kirkland’s family decades ago while he was in the house, most likely
hiding and at some point made eye contact with Lennon. But unlike PJ he isn’t smart
enough to figure it out on his own. To further my theory on Kirkland, I think
Heller + writers made him a homeland security agent to mean protector of his
home (to make up for something he couldn’t do when he was younger when RJ
murdered his family). And the synopsis for season 6 episode 4 reads: Jane
reveals that a list of fake RJ suspects he planted was stolen and the team
realizes these men are in danger.
Assuming
Rosalind Harker’s description of RJ is reliable we can quickly eliminate three
more suspects
Bertram: too bald
Stiles: too old
Smith: too chubby
Leaving…
Haffner: Visualize connection, more
physically capable
McAllister:
still a mystery so good writing potential, has a more mature/leader-like look
Both of whom were whistling in episode 2.
But
I’m sure these two suspects are exactly who Heller wants the audience to
have as their number one picks before pulling another twist. We are merely
puppets to him.
A popular theory is that more than one of the suspects is ‘RJ’. For my version
of the theory I think Bertram, Stiles, Smith, Haffner, McAllister and even
Partridge are RJ. Partridge was the one who saved PJ from the copycat murderers
which explains his connection to “The Tyger”. He sacrificed himself to ensure
the survival of RJ by attempting to throw off PJ. Bertram, Smith, Haffner and
McAllister can all manipulate law enforcers, investigations and evidence (three
of whom we see suspiciously chattin’ it up in episode 2) and Stiles is the
recruiter for disciples. So perhaps Jared Renfrew was trying to write ‘He is
many’ before he died. However, this
theory is somewhat anticlimactic so I prefer the RJ is just one person theory.
TIGER, tiger, burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?
This poem was written by William Blake which PJ mentions in one of the episodes. William Blake was also an artist who did relief etchings, illustrations and paintings. One of his works is entitled, “A Brace of Partridge,” . And behold!! We have Brett Partridge!! You might wonder why he might be the suspect even though he was killed in the first episode. But if you think about it, Lisbon was standing in front of a window before she was pulled. It either had to be someone outside the window or someone on the ground. I think Brett Partridge just acted as though he was dying but was originally planning to abduct Lisbon. The only thing bothering me is what he did with the body so as to lead the police to identify him as Brett Partridge
I still think it is Haffner, on probability, but check out the Canadian promo for next week's episode:

"He is an excellent whistler" Dr.Sophie Miller
Seems everyone has forgotten that Jayne murders someone without remorse, then covers it up with Lisbon's knowledge. Then he covers up his mistake and walks. That was the turning point for me. I thought, this man is psychopathic. Its a small step to him being RJ from there.
He commits felonies on a whim every episode, and CBI enables him.
He drops little hints like that he hasn't slept for days, most likely because of his psychotic breaks.
Just recently, he brought that ballplayer down to his guns, tricks him into coming up to confess, but things go wrong and the suspect and a cop are killed. You either believe Jayne is a negligent buffon who got two people killed by mistake, and got in no trouble btw, or he set thatall up. Why, so police would be unresponsive to assistance calls from the CBI and Lisbon would be alone when she went in the house.
Patrick has a split personality, is the true leader of the cult (notice that the cult membership list is still being witheld from the CBI). The seven are his closest minions, and have committed crimes on RJ's behalf. Patrick is not RJ like Heeled says, because they are two distinct personalities.
I caanot wait to see Lisbon's face when she realizes she has been aiding RJ this whole time. I'm sure her chasing Patrick is how the story goes on. Either that, or she runs away with him :-)
