LATEST THEORIES

Ardiles will be the first suspect from Jane's list that we see Jane confront. He'll be in Panama Red this next Sunday. I must say that I'm really looking forward to seeing however Jane goes about "questioning" his suspects. I hope he makes a cryptic smiley face comment to one of them.

Ardiles is the assistant district attorney, he was on LaRoche's suspect list, and he was the prosecuter in 4x01 that prosecuted Jane for killing Timothy Carter.

Does anyone have a good theory for him being RJ?

Slow day here on the site. Dr. TM must have lots of people doing research! Interesting that when they found his body, that it was described as cold(er), could be a stolen mourge body, could be a body dead for just a long time?!? The "body" is uncredited and the actor unkown, so no way to see if the actor had appeared before. The idea that he's sitting or next to PJ at any point in the series is just unprovable, even if true. Interestingly enuff, I believe the gentleman that VM goes out to meet in the limo might be?!? Listed as CA State Govenor, exciting! So,iIf its not the good Dr. In the mourge now, who is it? I'm still not sure why RJ would have to fake his "real life" death. I guess if Hicks shows up at the office following Bosco's lead, RJ offs him, then has to cover his tracks and thus need a body. However, as long as Carter Peaks body was taken care of RJ need not panic. How does a family doctor have enought juice to do the tricks and get the inside info he does. Still on the fence. However, the name does mean something. If you slow down the frame the names on the other page, you'll see like three women's names. Not suspects but names of people associated with the show. Casting and producton people. So it's not like they just made up stuff on a piece of paper. The list required thought. Speaking of the list. The DA's name, under it says "road block"?!? Anybody get that reference, I don't.

Look at some past bad guys. Dumar, Todd Johnson, Rebecca, the guy from he covience store with the bombs, all make comments that there is a plan, a big picture, a reason for everything RJ does. So what is this plan?!?

Not sure why the dump our two TNT hours for Castle ( also a great show but shark already jumped) but at least we get a few episodes tomorrow! Happy watching!!

I'm currently rewatching the seasons looking for clues, but something I found interesting is the names of Season 5's episodes. There are three different episodes with the word Cherry in the name. Is this relevant at all, or am I seeing more than is necessary? Usually the title of an episode is tied into the epidsode's plot somehow, but I don't see this with these three episodes (Devil's Cherry, Cherry Picked, Black Cherry).

A interesting post yesterday from RedJohnisDr.TowlenMo it reminding me of something that caught my eye but didn't click right
away. Why is the good
Dr. Towlen Morning on
the list of RJ suspects that PJ has at
the end of the last episode. In my
brain, I processed it as Dr. Wagner, who was a RJ copycat from the
Pilot. RedJohnisDr.TowlenMo
is correct it is Dr. Morning. Now I'm not fully on board with his complete theory. The case of
mistaken identity with a one legged man (Carter Peak)
is too much for me. Plus, if Jane recognized the Doctors name, I'm sure the cops had checked him out the first time around. However, all the
other names on the list are popular theories and could just be Bruno Heller stringing us along for a ride (a
ride we help feed). Dr. Morning on
the other hand is thought dead and I've only ever seen RedJohnisDr.TowlenMo
list him as a legit suspect in this
forum. So it is very curious. The note also says "Deceased?" why put the question mark? I assume that when they identify a body at the CBI they are pretty sure who it
is?!? It also says, "Early RJ victims" which ties into my
post yesterday about how important those victims are and that's the story
line the writers will take us and need to take us next.
I'm really glad RedJohnisDr.TowlenMo
put this post not only to jog my memory of the list but its that kind of out of
the boxing thinking and observation; that makes this show fun. Not the RJ must
be GVP because she has red hair!! LOL, look at a lot of the female characters,
there is a lot of red hair on this show!!

To follow on from the guy who is theorising about Dr Towlen Morning I would like to point out that according to several sources, the guy sitting next to Jane and Kristina at the restaurant is believed to be Towlen Morning...

This is not an accusation but I'm following up on the idea that he could have faked his death

I believe Bret Stiles is Red John. (If this is the wrong person i am talking about and his name is different, excuse me for that :P)

Firstly, Bret knew where Kristina Frye was kept after she got stolen under security of the Team.
He gave exact directions to the house she was in (Why did he do that? I do not know) and when Patrick Jane got there she was in a room with no furniture and only a chair and she was sitting in it. Her face blank. she only gave contact to Patrick Jane when he "summoned" her from the dead and talked to her in a dark room with a candle. But easily that could be hypnotism and Bret can easily do that. He could have hypnotised her and made her believe she is dead and can only talk to the people who summon her from the dead and forget who killed her.

Lastly, Bret has a lot of power which he can use. In Season 5 Episode 8, In the beginning, Jane goes in the movie theatre and watches an old movie with him. They used that as a secret meeting place. And Jane asked Bret to get Loralie out of jail for him and he neglectively agrees. ( Neglect a sign of "i don't wanna do this !"?) He does it easily. And Loralie was in a very high security prison. Bret's nickname could be Roy. (Im not sure about this next part) Bret might dislike Jane very much but not show it... also a sign of (Season 5 Episode 8) I can't believe you weren't good friends the moment you shook hands with Red John. (Loralie says that.) 

P.S Bret Stiles (not sure his real name) plays the bad guy ALWAYS in movies. 

P.P.S for the "I disagree" people who read this:
He might not be Red John. He looks very kind and doesn't look very serial killer-ish but then again he could get other people to do his dirty work for him, He might not be Red John but there IS some sort of connection between Him and Red John.
