Hi all,

Red John is one of the seven people call. Because I came to a clear explanation. If this list is fake immunity told CBS 'reputation or something, do not lie this time, the statement said. So tell me, clearly said Brett Partridge died, was emphatically called six suspects. Both the original site, to your facebook page as well as fragments of a new promotion. How much do you think it would be right to have a lie?Do you think the right thing to mislead the audience? Viewers theories focus on producing six suspects. I do not think it would be something like this. I think Brett Partridge is dead. And Red from John Ray Haffner.

I take back what i said about Walter Mashburn being Red John.


He is filming 4 movies at the same time! he doesn't have time for a TV show.


i really wanted Red John to be either Partridge or Mashburn :(.Really sad.. i cant see any character that can be Red John at this point,you say Haffner? hes dumb weak open book character who admitted that Jane is smarter than him.

If i had to choose i would say Gale Bertram.

I always thought the scene when Red John saves Patrick was way more important than we may think:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKZvmwU1ufg

Why?

We all know Patrick has an extremly sharp eye and notices everything and I mean every single little thing.

My first thougt when watching this scene was: Patrick now knows who Red John is. They are staring at each other from 1:32 to 1:50 from litteraly 1 inch. Jane has too good of an eye not to notice something. At least the color of the eyes, the way RJ breathes, smells, walks, something. He wore a mask, I realize that, but he had openings for eyes. Just like they are on every mask. And the smile on Patrick's face at 2:43 when RJ leaves confirms that in my opinion. He noticed something.

I was, at that time, sure Partridge is RJ. The voice, the teasing coming back simillar to what Patrick did to him at the start of the episode... I'm just not sure Heller is sticking to this plan. I think Partridge was supposed to be Red John, but a lot of people figured that out too quickly, so there is a possibilty Heller changed the story and someone else would be THE guy we are all curious to guess. Or Heller thought we're so dumb we won't think of a possibilty that Partirdge faked his death. We'll see.

For me, the most important things, that point to Partirdge are: voice, the fact he is there from the very first episode and the most important one: Patrick feels very uncomfortable around him. I don't care about Sophie's or Rosalind Harker's description. I believe what I see. And Jane is always in control of people. Except Partirdge irks him, as he says. Jane also says that he feels on the crime scene when RJ is involved. So, he also feels the negative vibe when Brett is around. He just doesn't have anything to be 100% sure and is never truly alone with him.

I think Patrick knows who Red John is for a while, but he is playing the game, trying to trick RJ just like he does all the time with every other suspects at the crimes that occur during episodes.

Let's hope for a great ending to Red John saga and a fascinating continuation of the series, because it is just great!

I found this very interesting http://www.whoisredjohn.com/See-a-theory-Red-John/6392 7 heads = 7 suspects in the list.
So, my final theory is that RJ REALLY WAS  Bradley Whitford. Then the CBI people decided that they needed to bring PJ back to help them solve cases, so they all worked together in order to make him believe that RJ is still alive. Hence the meeting in Bertram's office and the line "how much does Jane know?". This would also explain what happened to Lisbon and the 7 heads.

First time post.



I love reading the theories on this site, but it seems
pretty clear, especially lately, that many of the clues in the show are
ambiguous. “He is Ma”, for example. It could be anything. Or nothing. Or
EVERYTHING. What hand does Red John use to drink tea? It’s a CLUE!! Haffner can whistle!! He must be Red John!!



I’m not mocking, but the problem is those types of theories could
show anybody to be Red John.

Instead, I like to approach it from the question of who, in
reality, COULD be Red John. I know that it’s a tv show, but in real life, what
type of person could get people to devote their lives and their loyalty blindly
to a SERIAL KILLER? That’s not an easy sell. That would take an extraordinarily
special type of person, one who excels in at least three things:



1)     
Extreme charisma


2)     
Extraordinary manipulator


3)     
Filthy rich



In the show, there are really only two characters that fit
that mold well – Bret Stiles and Walter Mashburn. Both are highly likeable, are
absurdly rich, and can get people to do what they want. However, Bret Stiles
seems content with that, but Walter does not. Bret is the type of person to get
others to kill for him, rather than getting his hands dirty himself.



Rewatch the episodes with Walter. It’s obvious he is
extremely bored with his life, and loves thrills. He accompanies Jane
throughout investigations in his episodes because it’s fun. In addition, he
really genuinely likes Patrick and Lisbon, to the extent that he calls them in
as his “personal security” in his second episode. Who else in the show likes
both Patrick and Lisbon? Walter constantly flirts with Lisbon. If Red John is
so powerful, why hasn’t he killed Patrick? Why didn’t he kill Lisbon? Seems to
me it’s because he likes them. Nobody on “the list” likes Patrick. Well,
perhaps with the exception of Stiles, but that seems like more of a respect.



Also, in watching his episodes again, another thing that
stood out to me is it seems he could do the Red John voice. I think the only
two people I could say that about are Partridge and Mashburn.



Mashburn’s always been my guy. He’s the right fit for the
role. I know there are a lot of clues that point to a bunch of people, but I
just can’t see it. On the list of seven, the only one I could fathom as a
serial killer is Partridge, but he’s a creep. Who, in reality, would REALLY
follow him? How would he get such loyal followers? If you set aside the
ambiguous clues, and focus on actual personalities, there aren’t many people that
could actually fit the role. There’s really only one – Walter Mashburn.

 




As a side note, although I believe many people are correct
in the parallels to Revelation with the show, the one thing that keeps being
stated that is not true is that the dragon in Revelation has a head killed and
then brought back to life. In Revelation there is a great dragon AND a great
beast. Both have seven heads. The dragon gives the beast its power. The beast
is the one that has a head fatally wounded and then healed, so with all of the
theories saying Partridge is coming back because of the dragon’s resurrected
head, the parallel isn’t quite there. (Rev 13:1-3)
