LATEST THEORIES

Not so much a theory as an observation.   All titles have had some reference to the color red.   That is until 6x09   'My Blue Heaven' followed by 'Green Thumb'.  Looks as if color is still referenced in the title., but not just red anymore.

Theory #7368 • By EdBrazil
Show this theory

I think It may be something as simple as Red John is called Red John because of the type of women he likes. Rosalind Harker (Alicia Witt), a blind woman and former lover of Red John was also a Red Head.  Also Rosalind lets you know Red John is a man.  Or it could be Rosalind herself.  Or Rosalind could have been lying about Red John being a man.  Or Rosalind and is Van Pelts sister and together they are Red John.

If Patrick Jane isn't wrong about list of seven... here is my conclusion
https://scontent-a-ams.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/1378568_673580269319001_1293271381_n.jpg

I think it is BERTRAM or MCALLISTER.
McAllister might be on those places just because Red John knows Patrick will suspect him.
So that might be RJ's plan (we know Reede works for RJ so that probably IS his plan.

So I think it is Bertram. He was in that shopping centre and he is all the time with Patrick.
On the other side - McAllister is afraid of highs and even though HE SAVES PATRICK! That is strange. Only Red John wants him alive so much. Also, he met Patrick early so that also might be Red John's plan.

What is more important for Red John? Meeting Patrick all the time (Bertram) or just meet him soon?

Dont forget Bertram's knowledge about RJ's poet...

Even though - BERTRAM is my guess.

Just to all people who think that it was Kirkland's twin who killed Lennon, twins don't look the same after 40 or so years. People's appearance changes depending on their lifestyle etc, so it would be very hard for Michael to look EXACTLY like Bob.

Check this out if you want to know the clue which will be revealed in the next episode:

Please note that this is not from the CBS website, so it might as well be fake. But given the episode's title, I think it is very much possible. Anyway, wanted to share it with you :)

This theory is in support of my previous theory here: http://www.whoisredjohn.com/See-a-theory-Red-John/7165

Notice that in the last episode, before Reede Smith killed Kirkland, when Kirkland was moving out of the van he did some sort of swallowing act. Forensics investigating his death will reveal whats in his body in the next episode.

There are two possibilities here (if he really swallowed something, wasn't his natural acting though):

1. He swallowed something that will leave a clue for Jane to find Red John/Tyger Tyger organization

2. He swallowed the instant death pill criminals use to kill themselves - This will prove that Kirkland didn't plan to run from the van as he was to kill himself through the pill. Hence, proving that he was murdered.

Jane will come to know that Kirkland new something big...we'll know in the next episode if Jane will come to know about this 'Tyger Tyger' organization or not.
