LATEST THEORIES

Spoiler-alert:
Have a look at the Actor, who is playing a "young man" in the episode "Red John".

Striking similarity with one of the seven suspects, right?! ;)
I bet he is playing RJ in a flashback to 1988 and the visualize farm.

Did you already watch the third episode?

It is very unusual that Sheriff doesn't want to climb the ladder and than walk closer to the edge of the cliff at the beginning. It's like Heller is throwing him at us. But than again, at the end of the episode he saves Patrick from falling from the roof, so his fobia of heights clearly doesn't exist. We can now officialy say Sheriff isn't afraid of heights.

But than just when they walk down from the roof, he gets scared of a few pigeons, yells for a second and than says: "I didn't see that coming, I hate those things!"

That is probably the biggest hint in the episode. Sheriff does not like pigeons! And as we found out, Patrtridge could be taken as a synonim for pigeons, so there could be a possibilty Sheriff had something to do with the death of Brett, or at least Heller wants us to think that way.

I honestly don't know who could be Red John. Heller has that mystery well wrapped somewhere in there, but is constantly throwing us fake hints to throw us off, when we're trying to found out.

Truth is, Mr. Heller is a very fine mentalist and a manipulator himself and he is also one step ahead of us, just like Red John seems to be one step ahead of Patrick.

I think Patrick wants him to feel that way, but he knows clearly more than he is sharing with us or Lisbon.

Next episode with Kirkland is going to be very interesting. If I judge from the promo, Kirkland indeed isn't Red John himself and is just trying to catch him himself or works for him and is paid to scare Patrick.

Oh, and also, I don't think Heller is such an amateur to let us now from the cast appering in the episodes, who Red John is. If Redee Smith is going to be in the episode 8, than that's because Heller wants you to think he is RJ. Just like last week, when he threw Haffner at us and this week Sheriff.

I don't believe Red John is one of the 7 suspects, but every single one of them is connected one way or another with him and has a specific interest connected to him.

Patrick Jane is not Red John. Bruno Heller has said so in an interview. :)

I believe Patrick Jane IS Red John.
Before dismissing this theory think about it,
Red John is believed to be a manipulative, highly intelligent, man.
Red John is able to convince people to give up their lives for him willingly.
Kind of how Jane is able to convince the CBI to break laws for him,
Not to mention the countless other people who he has convinced into doing things.
Jane is smart, manipulative and to be quite honest I just don't think anyone
Could do the character "Red John" any justice other than Jane himself.
Red John has been made up to be this invincible, unbeatable guy,
I just can't see any of the chumps Jane's got on the list as being Red John.
Unless they can get Gary Oldman to play Red John then it's gotta be Jane himself.
No one else is worthy of the part. Unless of course it was lisbon but that's besides the point.
My theory is that Patrick Jane has split personality disorder.
He is completely unknowing of his other side.
He is fighting himself, and that's why it's so hard for him to catch this guy.
That's why it's so hard for anyone to catch this guy.
This is my theory.

Theory #5920 • By MentalistIndia
Show this theory

1) THE LIST IS FAKE !!!
REASON :-Jane knew someone was spying on him during he was creating a list on RJ. So he misled by giving fake clues.
2) The video made by RJ was not before Jane arrived at the list.
REASON:- Let me give you an analogy on how magicians perform their tricks , They say to us all the props used are genuine and infact that is to mislead us.Now how can RJ make us believe the list was made 2 months before ?? exactly put a dead person revealing the names...now no one doubts when was the list made ... My point is the list was made after Jane arrived at the list may be using a double or something that will be revealed in the future.
3) Now in s06e04 BOB KIRKLAND knows he has been fed with wrong information , since the list arrived at by red john is fake. what jane all this time.
4)so RJ ie BOB made a video and sent it to Jane but gets to know somehow that he has been tricked by Jane and wants the real list since he feels its an embarrassment to SHARE CREDIT FOR HIS ART!! 
5)So BOB wants reveal he is RJ because he can't live with someone who is unworthy is even being considered to be capable of doing what RJ does.
6)Hence BOB wants to kill all the people on the actual list.
7)The conclusion is Jane makes RJ to revel himself instead of him finding who RJ is since he knows RJ is way better than him.

its OBVIOUS that kirkland dies in next episode ... like ..REAAAAALLY OBVIOUS. he doesnt appear as guest star in next episodes, he dies. confirmed reaally, jane isnt using that shirt that the man being cutted his finger is using. kirkland dies. also kirkland is not red john so why would he need the suspects and also why does he wants the info after knowing the list (whe lorelei is dead). its redundant.

partridge dead

stiiles not middled aged and nothing with the description,

bertram received order from smith, smith told him " its your job to figure it out" , red john taking orders from somebody?? not a chance. discard bertram.

only 3 plaussibles ... mcallister, smith, haffner. ok heller told that red john will be like waldo, obviously red john is not mcallister, waldo will not appear in an entire episode ... and he is not appearing in other episodes (not confirmed) BUT ITS CONFIRMED THAT DREW POWEEL IS APPEARONG N EPISODE 8 ... CALLED RED JOHN. 

OK, COULD BE HAFFNER, BUT REEDE SMITH, THE RED IS ME. SMITH ( ITS ALSO KNOW AS IRON, IRON IN SPANISH IS HIERRO, FERRO) TAGLIAFERRO. HE GIVING ORDERS TO BERTRAM. REEDE SMITH GUYS, HE IS RED JOHN.

he has never been fooled by jane , haffner have been fooled by jane in his first appeareance.
smith is red john.
