Walter Mashburn
I have a whole theory, but I`ll make it as short as I can,
by pointing out only the major clues:
1. “The
night I gave back his ring and told him about Yuri, I could see something crack
inside him”- is what the women who he was engaged with said about him (s03 e
07) - so we know that he was disappointed by a women that he loved
2.
He has no family, but a lot of friends
3.
He`d do anything for a thrill – so I assume he
started killing for fun, and he preferred women because he wanted to teach them
a lesson
4.
He is arrogant, vain, narcissistic, and he hates
to lose
5.
When he asks Jane “What, you`re a psychic?” we
can easily observe his disgust when talking about psychics
6.
He likes to wear red a lot
7.
When he`s at the CBI, we often can see him
talking with CBI Ron. And Ron is always in the background when Mashburn is there
8.
When he figures out that Lisbon almost took a
bullet in order to save him (same episode 7 from season 3) he`s very surprised;
like he wouldn`t expect that.
9.
He`s charming. He seems the perfect man. Rich,
handsome, smart, willing to make anything to make people around feel nice. He
offers a lot of gifts, so people can easily be attracted to him.
10.
He definitely has something to hide. Jane knows
that.
11.
He had many wives. But when reffering to them,
is he actually talking about the women who he got married, or about his
victims?
12.
That supermodel was willing to kill anyone who
even dared to approach him. Many women are crazy, but still, it is a little
awckward.
13.
The name Wasburn appeared on Sophie Miller`s
list of patients.
To me, Walter Mashbun is the perfect Red
John. Is the kind of person that people can easily love and hate intensily, at the
same time. He is like the darker side of Jane, but equally charming and smart.
If Lisbon slept with him, that is not a coincidence. It is because, besides
Jane, only he has the power to make her “fall in love with him” somehow.
