Show this theory

Red John
Roy Tagliaferro = means in italian 'cut iron'
Reede Smith = maybe rather 'blacksmith'

I think there is a connection between all of this names.
Reede Smith can act like a one of the Tyger Tyger member, but in fact he can be Red John himself.

Bonjour, je pense sincèrement que Lisbon est RJ en manipulant tout le monde si vous regardez l'épisode 4 saison 6 la main empoignant le ciseaux est trés fine et blanche avec une veste noire - Episode ou partridge dit à Lisbon "TIGER TIGER" pour moi c'est un signe de reconnaissance envers son mentor - Bref je passe les détails du genre Patrick n'a jamais réussi à lire en Térésa etc... Elle ne meurt jamais concernant JR et bizar dans sa vie personnelle on ne sait pas grand chose à part que son père était pompier et alcoolique et qu'il a pété un plomb et ses freres elle veut venger tout ça MAIS elle aime Patrick 
Je reste persuader que Térésa Lisbon est JR

I am glad that there aren't any theories that say "Robert Kirkland is not really dead, those bullets were not real, he had to shoot to fool the driver" :) 

1) How does Kirkland know that his brother met RJ? As far as I see, he was just found by a Visualize member. (Remember barn killings? Guy had to abondon his family for good) I wonder how Kirkland connects his brother to RJ.

As for Bertram, Smith and McAllister. We can't know if any of these are RJ or not by their dialogue. I doubt that they know who RJ is. They know that RJ is a tyger tyger guy, but RJ wouldn't risk his identity.

So, to cover his identity, RJ has to act along. The best camouflage would be to cover RJ's mistakes. So Bertram can be RJ, but he also has to act like he is just a Tyger guy when he is with Smith and Tom. The same applies for the other 2.

2) What is the role of Bertram here? He is clearly more than what we see. He is in Tyger Tyger team, but he was also in Kirkland's team. That's a conflict of interest.

3) Kirkland didnt ask Jason Lennon the identity of RJ. For me, that is Bruno Heller messing up.

Also, I got a feeling that we will be exposed to dirty cops a lot this season. In Lost, in the first seasons they focused on only Dharma and we were quite curious. How does Dharma get supplies, since when are they there? What is the black smoke? Why are polar bears there? How does island cure cancer? etc etc.  But in the last season, they made it like these were quite small details and the big picture was Jacob and some other guy. And nothing was answered.

I fear that RJ will turn out to be just an ordinary member of Tyger community and the real enemies will be that team and we will focus on destrying this dirty community for the remaining episodes.

It's more a question.If the ''cult's'' people identify each other with ''Tyger Tyger'' why Brett told to Teresa ''Tyger Tyger'' before he died ? ^_^

Hi fellas

I haven't watched the fourth episode but this is the new update on the mentalist wiki about  eighth episode of the sixth season of The Mentalist ( RED JOHN )

This episode will possibly feature the revelation of Red John's true identity or the end of his narrative arc. It will also probably spell the end of the Tyger Tyger collective, causing ripples throughout law enforcement. Michael Gaston and Drew Powell are gonna be in this episode, meaning probably one of them is Red John.

I just hope they have a strong back story because i am really disappointed of my favorite show
