LATEST THEORIES

For some reason it posted my other theory as "Murphy" ??? Anyway just also a thought on Mashburn. He may have been the Mitchell Washburn on Sophie Miller's list and therefore Red John, not J Roth. J Roth is so obvious - he knew Patrick would be looking for him on the list, and RJ didn't want his files etc found. Seems funny to me.

Not actually sure it is Mashburn, it only just crossed my mind. I have also been suspecting Haffner.

My theory is that Bret Stiles killed the two bodies in 1998, and his son - maybe Walter? seen this, left him damaged and he's been copying his dad, that could explain the gap in the murders, Tyger Tyger, Bret's knowledge and lack of fear of Red John, and many other things. It could also be why we can trust the list - because the original RJ was Bret, yet the actual RJ that we know is his son.

(Aswell as the theory being a wild guess, Walter is a guess too, could be someone else)

WHY Lisbon didn't tell Jane that HAFFNER came to see her in the hospital???

Hi all,

I know a lot of us suspect a lot of people on the show.....

All I can say is that the pressure really is on Bruno to pull off an epic here because every possible outcome ( based on what we have been fed all these years) has been discussed, analyzed, raped, heck even produced offsprings.....

Whatever the outcome is of episode 8......I just hope he doesn't disappoint.....I really love the show and would like to continue to watch mentalist after 6x8.....

Keep guessing and discussing :) more power to you mentalists !!!!!

Brett Patridge and Lorelei both arent really dead !!!

Why on earth would Red John kill on of the suspects and in turn increase the chances of Jane discovering who he really is???

I think we should eliminate Haffner , in S04E02 he asks Cho is Jane smarter then you ? Cho answers : Yes , then Haffner asks him again is Jane smarter than me !? Cho : Yes , Haffner : You are probably right

Red John will never admit that jane is smarter than him , but Haffner did admit that Jane is smarter than him

The list is FAKE.  The Direct TV synopsis for the up comming October 20 episode titled "red listed"  states:  Jane's list of fake Red John suspects is stolen, the team realizes those named are in danger.
