LATEST THEORIES

All the seven suspects work for Red John. And Red John is ... someone with more power

People are asking why RJ didn't kill Lisbon and speculating that it's because he likes her. Well, Walter Mashburn likes her also, plus, he's always looking for thrills that money just can't buy, and if he's a sociopath (and many big businessmen are), he might be cold enough to get his kicks killing and playing crazy games. Plus, he was wearing a red sweater when he came to visit Teresa at the office, like, hey, look, red! Hint, hint, let's play cat amdn mouse some more !

I don't really subscribe to this, actually, but I do think that PJ did fake up the suspects board, because he knew RJ's cronies, and maybe others, would break in and video it, etc. He knew that RJ would figure out who his suspects were, from how he (PJ) assembled the clues. He knows that RJ is watching him and so he, PJ, has to act as if he himself believes the list of suspects is real. I don't think PJ beleives any of the people on the list are suspects, but he needs RJ to think he does, so that RJ feels secure enough to let down his guard, thinking PJ is off in other directions.

Plus no way RJ would have gone to a shrink and told her the truth about any of his phobias, it was jus a ruse to check out what she knew about PJ.

And again, if RJ is watching PJ, he may find out that PJ has found the tape of RJ's visit to Sophie -- one way would be to see if PJ was testing his (phoney) suspects out for a phobia.

Grace has red hair.
The meaning of the word 'John' is 'GRACE and mercy.'

Therefore... Red John.

There are also lots of other things that people have posted which would support my theory.

I know Bruno heller says it isn't Jane but I have my doubts.

Looking at episode 2 season 6 last night. -who gave Patrick notification to go to the crime scene? He is not a CBI agent so he does not get "assigned to a case. He tags along with Lisbon or whoever she tells him to go with. He was obviously there before Bertram and no other member of his team was shown at the scene. So how did he know where to go.

He also calls Lisbon "Theresa" often. Could be the alter ego records messages to send to Patrick.

It also seems he figures out who the latest victim is before they are discovered , ( his shrink , and others I canT recall names of).

I have always thought he was pulling off the ultimate con and is indeed Red
John

-Red John is definetely not a group of persons. Lorelei told Jane he shook hands with red John, so that means its one man.

-There are several reasons to believe that Red John is not on the 7 persons suspect list, but BH said that Red John is definetely on the list, so I see no reason to not believe him.

-Because of the meeting of Bertram,Reede and mcallister in the last episode I think neither of them are in fact Red John. I don't think Red John would meet these persons while anybody could see them, especially not at the CBI.

-Bret Stiles is indeed to old to be Red John.

-So if Partridge is really dead, Raymond haffner or Kirkland has to be Red John.

Red John is Patrick JaneHe es always on the way, for the diferent situations happened this is the only possibility. Jane has bipolar disorder. Or maybe I want this, it would be awesome
