Does anyone else think that Gale Bertrum might be eliminated as a suspect after last week's episode? When Reede Smith told him it was his job to know about Jane's knowledge of Red John, he was pretty stern. Would someone really talk to Red John like that? I get the feeling that people don't speak to Red John in that manner.
Just a hunch
Could RJ's phobia be of the water? Perhaps he never learned how to swim.
There has been repeated water symbolism, boats, and MAR means The Sea, among other things.
Also, something makes me think of how Lorelei Martins wanted to go to the ocean -- because maybe it was a safe place where RJ wouldn't go. RJ seems to spend his time in remote country places, farms, old and abandoned houses and barns, fields and parks.
First of all I'm not sure who red john is .I had great theories but now...
Jane's narrow down the list of seven Red John suspects
I still can't understand how jane could possibly know where everyone could be in the time of RJ's murders.( he knew where mashburn or others were ? )
Fake list .
I read somewhere that Jane reveals that a list of fake Red John suspects he planted was stolen, and the team realizes these men are in danger, so 7 suspects are fake or what?
whistling :
Like last season's handshake. Now suddenly people in show start whistling.
show's Orientation :
In this season they trying to make bertram and haffner look like the main suspects . bertram's dialog in first episode and haffner in second !
Bad feeling :
honestly I am feeling stupid for spend so many hours to watch and analyzing clues .
I Just hope they have a strong explanation about everything .
Thanks for you time and sorry for my bad english
Rosalind Harker description about Roy Tagliaferro:
"Just under 6 feet tall. Not muscular but not soft, either. Short
straight hair a gentle voice. Rough, strong hands. He smelled of pine
and nail and earth and he liked to listen to me play the piano."
Now, Sophie Miller description about Jay Roth:
"He’s middle-aged, in good health, with no stated prior history of psychiatric issues...He’s well-spoken, good posture, self-possessed...
However, there is every indication that his phobia issues are real whether acrophobia or some other issue remains to be seen."
We got the biggest clue now next to the handshaking, that's a phobic!
At 6x01 episode we saw the pidgeons in the room where Lisbon opened.
Patrick told Lisbon at the hospital: "Maybe something spooked
him and he couldn't go through his usual routine." At 6x02 we saw again pidgeons when the old lady feed them. Hm, it's weird!
Is it looks like Red John has an ornithophobic? - Very possible!
I don't think RJ
fear from the 666 number, but this is the alternative possibility,
beacuse that is also kind of phobic (Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobic). We saw 666 number on the wall at 6x01.
At the 5x08 Lorelei told Jane about the
handshaking, that was really big clue!
The fact is, we saw only 3 men shaking hands with Jane from the 7 suspects before Lorelei told it: Bertram, Haffner and Kirkland.
Brett Partridge is dead. Bret
Stiles, Sheriff Thomas McAllister, Reede Smith are out of the picture,
because we didn't see shaking hands with Jane before. Sheriff, Stiles, Bertram aren't middle ages by the way and Bertram hasn't got a short, straight
hair and he taller than 6 feet (6'3''). Bertram responsibe for get information the Red John investigation
(said Smith).
So, only 2 suspects left: Robert Kirkland and Ray Haffner.
Kirkland: He is 5'9'' tall (just under 6 feet). 44 years old now. He was 19 years old in 1988 (Elliston farm where 2 men killed by Red John). Exactly fit to description.
Haffner: He is 6'1'' tall (more than 6 feet). 46 years old now. He was 21 years old in 1988 (Elliston farm where 2 men killed by Red John).
At the Red Barn episode Father Peter DiBuono told Jane the smiley painted on the barn by some kid.
I'am absolutely sure Robert Kirkland or Ray Haffner is Red John!!
Hello im folowing this site over a year and never post a theory.
my thought changes a lot about the identety of RJ as im sure as evreyone..
so...as we all see in season 6 the pidgeons seems to be in ep 1 and 2. and we know that heller said that there is a huge clue in the begining of this season.
now i look into the brace of partridge picture by whiliam blake. and also look in google "partridge" and i found this pidgeons... i belive the partridge is RJ but maybe a brother of the one we know or something like that because of his death.
think about it..why this pidgeons take place in the episode and the camera let us see them? this is the only thing i can come up with
Just a few thoughts on the last scene of the show so far, that is the last scene of episode 6x02. We have the late Sophie Miller talking about her observations of her session with who we beleave to be RJ. She says that she beleaves what he told her about his fear of heights was not true. She thought that he had other phobias that he didn't talk about. Now we know from Jane that Dr. Miller realy cared for her patients, and wanted to help them. So here she starts her observation upon two things as a bases. 1) That man needed help and 2) He didn't tell her the true about his phobias because of his many isseus. Well we know that RJ didn't go to Sophie for help or to discuse with her any isseus he might had, or because he needed her help with them.
So I think that any observation she might had on his character are doomed to be wrong, because she misses the main trait of this man. That he is a very evil murderer. We can't trust anything she got out of RJ's act. Simple.
What we can trust is what she says he looks like and what the director shows to us while we hear her recording. Here is what I think we are shown at the end, a dominant trait of each of our remaining suspects:
- Bertram, the charming politisian. The peoples man. Although he leads CBI he is only one that knows how to talk, not realy one that does anything usefull.
- Haffner. The vaine charmer. We have seen that he is less than what he lets people think with his looks.
- McAllister. Look how he walks. He realy thinks he's a womanizer. Remember him hitting on Van Pelt. He realy thought he had a chance with her.
- Stiles. The charismatic leader. He only can think of him leading and the others following behind.
- Smith. The intimitating brute. The violent one.
- Kirkland. The methodical and very much in control. The productive one. He says little but does much.
- Now Partridge is dead, but we could give him the trait of not being serious. Of being playfull. The joker.
Also we hear Sophie speaking some of these traits about the man that went to see her.
Well the man that Sophie is talking about appears to have many of the traits of above!
It looks like RJ is all of them together.
He is many!
we can not identify red john by the physical descriptions it will be poor , the main fact that this show in some how is related to william blake...........in this 6 th season the episode 7 called The Great Red Dragon......and the 8 th one called Red John................( it 's kind an equation )the great red dragon has 7 heads , that match perfectly with the list of 7 suspectsso we can say that red john afterall is not individual , it 's a groupe......but it 's kind a weird ......... a groupe of such organisation ....so perhaps those are 7 heads , the 7 tools .......so who 's the one we are lokcing for...........to answer this question , at all implies a sight..it 's in the general idea of the show ...it 's isn't about jane it's about the mentalist .....and ther is no need to describe a mentalist....so from this point we can predict red jhon's identity to be ( charming , manipulator , tricky , powerfull, romentic ............) and i think those 7 or 6 persones they may have some of this descriptions but whose the one who have its all.........a person could trick even jane ...i blieve red john is Walter Mashburn................( sorry for bad english)
