LATEST THEORIES

Every week this season, the writers have been messing with us. Take a look at this board for example, after every week there is a new "hot suspect" and it just so happens to be the one that the writers are shoving down our throats that episode. 

I have my own personal favorites who I think RJ is and it's a great deal of fun reading everyone else's theories.......but don't buy into the weekly suspect that they are featuring.

Enjoy the chase and I'm looking forward to reading more theories!  :)

For me RJ is Gale Bertram. In the last episode of season 2 RJ mention to Jane a poem of William blake called "Tyger" that begin like that : "Tyger! Tyger! burning bright...In the forest of the NIGHT..."
The first appareance of Bertram is in the first episode of season 3 (red sky at NIGHT) and Jane answer to Bertram what he do on the crime scene. 
Bertram is the one that knows all the poems of William Blake (Tyger too) and was on the one suspected the crime scene when Partrige was killed. 
So : Bertram = RJ

Hello!

To be honest: I do not have a clue who will be Red John in the end.

I just wanted to make you consider the following possibilities:

PJ is ahead - he created this list and staged it all. As in previous cases it's a small bait for the killer: like a faked diary e.g. that makes him nervous and do someting to reveal his identity. This time: a list of the final suspects.

Lorelei is not dead - otherwise there is now way she could have read PJs list 2 months before. As PJ said to Lisbon when asked how RJ did it: "I don't know, it's a trick".

The list must not include RJ - PJ just wanted to create chaos and suspiscion among all (and Heller including the audience). Everyone suspects someone and PJ is waiting for RJ to make a mistake.

Partridge must not be dead - even this may involve PJs doing so that all the others on the list try even more desperate to find RJ after a "kill" happened. That' why RJ did not kill Lorelei, it was staged (although the surprise call from RJ to PJ After the Assault does not fit in).

PJ also expected Lisbon to tell the others about the list so that the suspicion gets inside the Team.

Thank you very much for reading.

I have proof, she took a picture of the script, she was worried about being fired, but since this is the last season she doesn't care, I can post the pic if y'all want me to?

I don't know who is RJ but I hope it won't be Alex Jane. Because, for me he is not even close to Patrick with his abilities. If he is so capable why did he spend half of his life in circus scheming people for pocket money?
He is just greedy 3rd class con artist who can only trick naive old people or little kids. 
I would put him in a same rank like spiritual adviser Nate Glass.

I just want to bring you in the mindset of William Blake, by quoting some poems of his artwork. Hope this will give us some clues to the Red John story.

The Tigers of wrath are wiser than the horses of instruction.

You cannot have liberty in this world withoug what you call moral virtue, and you cannot have moral virtue without the slavery of that half of the human race who hate what you call moral virtue.

Both read the Bible day an night, but thou read black where I read white.

Do what you will, this world's fiction and is made up of contradiction.

I must create a system or be enslaved by another mans; I will not reason and compare: my business is to create.

Without contraries is no progression. Attraction and repulsion, reason and energy, love and hate, are necessary to human existence.

Opposition is true friendship.

Active Evil is better than passive Good.



cheers, hope that brings some new thoughts!
