LATEST THEORIES

Ok guys, in this page there are several obsessed fans of the mentalist as me, we check every day of our lives things about the show, there are quiate a few things that has to be clear!

1. Jane is NOT  red joh for god sake.

2. Partridge is DEAD. like, reaally dead.

3. RED JOHN IS NOT AN ORGANIZATION.

4. RED JOHN IS ON THE LIST.

5. The red listed is NOT IMPLYING THAT THE LIST OS A FAKE. the list is the real one but kirkland took the information from janes office and that information was FAKE. jane has the real list. kirkland the fake one.

6.. Smith is not discarded because he is FAT.he is not fat he is ok. He will appear in episode 8 called RED JOHN with BERTRAM. confirmed.

some questions... kirkland knows who red john is because he didnt ask jason lennon ... but he CANT BE red john because red john knew the 7 suspects before he stole the board of jane. so why he wants to knwo the suspects? kind wierd.

stiles is not middled aged he is not red john, bertram recieved orders from smith when he tells ¨its your job to find out¨, red john recieving orders? impossible.

my guess haffner or smith. haffner would be a GREAT RED JOHN. but, remember haffner being fooled by jane en his first appeareance? he was acting? red john is never fooled...

episode 4 would be MORE THAN AWESOME, BEYOND EXCELLENT.

One big assumption that I made here is that the things we have seen actually happened. What I mean is:
1. The people on the list, as far as we know from the first 3 episodes of season 6 and series 5, includes Red John in it.
2. When we see Partridge dying, that's what actually happened, he dies. We do not see him fake it so we assume he is gone. This leaves 6 suspects.
3. The description given of Red John from the blind lady is true. So list goes to 2 people, as they are the only middle aged and healthy guys on the list. Bob Kirkland and Haffner. 
I say Haffner cos the dude is a creep.
Although, the promo for the 4th episode suggests one of these points is misleading.

Simply theory. Pigeons have nothing to do with Red John

The more I am watching the episodes of this season the more I believe that RJ is not from the list. In each of the seven episodes the writers try to drive you towards a different suspect of the list . Ep 1 towards Partridge, ep 2 towards Haffner, ep 3 towards Mc Allister and so on.
The writers clearly love messing with the audience and the have succeeded!
After pointing to each and everyone from the list, Heller will present the sweetest most likable person of the whole series as RJ.
Please let it not be my personal favorite, mashburn!!!

I believe that Red John is an idea cultivated by a group of ex-Visulaize members. I believe Bret Stiles created a rift within the starting of Visualize and a vigilante group broke way to prove Bret Stiles wrong in some way. I do not see Bret Stiles killing anyone, but more remorseful of what has happened. So I believe Red John is an ideal more than a person or at least not a solitary person.

I think there are more RedJohn Followers than we're lead to believe.

                     I have a theory based on some notes
                                    let's begin...

"Robert Kirkland
, Reed smith and Gale bertram are friends, i mean, one team".
     In fact:
In S05E05 "Red Dawn"
-alexa shultz with Robert Kirkland (in Limo) ask Virgil 
Minelli vie phone to keep her in loop about Red John's  case.

in other scene:
 Robert Kirkland is a "friend" of Gale bertram -may be just for work- anyway they both ask Teresa Lisbon if jane mad a progress on Red john case.

In S06E02
-in the meeting between 3 suspects : Gale bertram , Reed smith and Sheriff thomas mccalister, Reed ask Gale 
how jane is close with little authoritarian Voice.

Now we have two cases:

1) Robert Kirkland , Gale bertram and Reed smith cooperate with the aim of finding Red John before Patrick Jane find him.
    In that event, that let us think that may Raymond haffner or sheriff Thomas mccalister is Red John and is protected and invested somehow by Bret stiles.

2) Robert Kirkland is himself Red John and helped sometimes by his team Gale bertram , Reed smith and Bret stiles of course due to the fact that he was involved in "Visualize" and "the farm".

I hope that those things make a sense , and i think all fans and participants for their nice theories.
