I cant believe that I am reading
almost all theories posted on this site everyday. There are some good theories
but others are too far-fetched. I have watched the 2 episodes of this season 3
times. I feel like I missing something. There are so many clues. But we are
missing a lot of information in order to make a good guess. Jane has a plan to
catch RJ but he is playing his mind games and he is not letting anyone know
about it. This is how he usually solves the weekly cases.

Red John has been ahead of Jane
so many times and i think that Jane is setting him up. He may or may not have
told Lisbon about his plans. He is pretending to be freaked out in the first
episode. I think he wanted Lisbon to reveal the list to Van Pelt and others. He
was not enough angry when he discovered Wayne and Cho also knows about his
list. Bertram told Jane that he knows he is getting close and I believed that
maybe Van Pelt told him or the CBI is bugged. Bertram is spying on Jane Thats
why Jane went to this attic to listen to the Sophie’s recording.

Bruno Heller said that there is
something wrong in the California law enforcement. I think that Bertram and his
poker friends are corrupted. And Red John knows about their wrongdoings. RJ don’t
necessary hypnotized all his followers but he blackmailed them to do his
bidding. This is how Jane does it sometime. Blackmailing LaRoche to give him
the list in season 3 or Bertram to get Lorelei from the FBI. Reed Smith and
Bertram desperately want to know about Jane’s progress because if RJ is caught
then they are going to be in trouble. Bertram looked very worried when he found
out that Partridge is dead. The reason why he died will be revealed later. My
guess is that Partridge was corrupted as well. He was probably removing
evidence at crime scenes. And RJ killed as a warning to Bertram and companions.


I have to admit I was not sure
Partridge was really dead but obviously there was someone else in the house in
the first episode. I find it strange how Lisbon got this call. RJ planned this
very well. I not sure about the clue Bruno Heller is talking. Visualize is
involved with Red John somehow, we will discover soon. I have suspicion RJ did
not kill those men in the barn but Stiles actually did. RJ was there and hiding
in the basement. I think that how he started killing people.

Kirkland is a very mysterious
man. I think most of agree by now that he is on a personal mission. He is after
RJ too just like Jane. Jane obviously had a fake list on his board. And thats
the fake list in episode 4. Maybe he is killing them. So Bertram, Smith, Stiles
and Kirkland is out. We are left with Haffner and McAllister. They both whistle
and very strong suspects. Personally, I think Ray is a too obvious choice but
could definitely be an accomplice. He is currently the most popular one because
of the scene at the hospital. He was creepy. The sheriff would make a great RJ.
He is a sheriff and thus he can be inconspicuous. He was weird in the episode 2
of season 1 which was written by Heller himself. The episode was about a serial
killer couple. Red John has serial killer friends like Timothy/Sally Carter,
Todd Johnson and maybe others.

I am really looking forward to
how Bruno will tell this story to make it epic.

Thanks for reading.

 

Just a quick question to all.......please comment.....

A lot of people think that Jane is RJ (Split personality et al)........

If this is true, then why do we need to watch episode 9 onward this season? to hear Jane explain why he killed his wife and kids?

And I think usually there are about 22 episodes per season, so if RJ (Who as per some people is Jane) is revealed in season 8, the are welooking at 14 episodes of jane's explanation?

I know a lot of people will rate it unlikely or plausible.....I am not doing it for the rating.....I am just trying to understand what you guys think.....

All in all, I just hope Heller comes up with something unique.....because one can only guess so much, and I think ALL possible outcomes have been discussed.......

Thanks.

Ok if the list is really correct then we have two suspects. I will explain why others from the list cant be RJ.
First kirkland - if he was RJ lennon would recognise him and lorelie couldnt have known that he has shaken hands with jane

Smith cant be RJ because when he met Jane lorelei was in prison so she couldnt have known that he shook hands with Jane

Stiles isnt RJ because he wouldnt be described as a kid in 1988 because he was like 35-40 back then

Bertram isnt RJ because Smith told him it was his job to watch jane. RJ does not take orders so he isnt RJ

Partridge is dead ( if he isnt he is still a possible suspect )

you have haffner and sheriff thomas. I dont know if you guys remember this but Rosalind said that RJ likes to listen Bach so i would play Bach in front of haffner and sheriff thomas to see how they react.

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.

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!!!
