LATEST THEORIES

To the people who think that RJ and the Tiger Tiger organization are against each other, what's your take on Reed Smith murdering Kirkland then? Why did he kill the guy who was investigating his enemy? It's not like Kirkland was a threat to them, he didn't know about the organization, Smith himself told him before he killed him. So why kill him, if not for RJ?

There is theory about Bob Kirkland's twin to have murdered Lennon and of even being RJ overall.
Come on, Bob Kirkland was the one that killed Lennon, not his twin brother.If you recall, right before he killed him, he asked him "do you know me?", which was the exact same question e asked the people he tortured at 6x05. What was he looking for, assuming he was the twin, himself??And when he did not get what he wanted from Lennox he killed him, just like he did or intented to do at 6x05.
He was sencere to PJ when he said that he was looking for his brother near RJ.And he was killed because he knew about the Tiger-Tigers...

I can't say that Haffner is definitely Red John, but if Red John is someone on the list, and Red John did kill the PI then it was Haffner who killed the investigator hired by Red John to bug the CBI.  You can tell from the shadow on the door.  Specifically look at the hair, he is the only suspect left with this hair after Kirkland was killed off.

Hey guys! Here is some definitions I found about 3 dot tattoos

The three dots tattoo, worn either on the hand or near the eye, represents the phrase "Mi Vida Loca," or "My Crazy Life". The tattoo can be found on many Hispanic inmates and does not necessarily mean affiliation with any particular gang. The three dots can also carry religious meaning, representing the holy trinity.

it might not be in the shoulder but the William Blake poem says: 

Tyger! Tyger! burning bright 
In the forests of the night, 
What immortal hand or eye 
Could frame thy fearful symmetry? 

visualize's symbol has an eye
and three dots placed symmetrically form a triangle, which is related to religion and balance

Also, in France, Tattoos of three dots on the hand means "death to cops" (mort aux vaches) and as we know, RJ has killed some cops..

Maybe RJ was related to a mexican gang? Maybe that's how they he managed to get to that motel in Tijuana so fast.

Also, we know the william blake's poem is very important to the series
And what shoulder, & what art
Could twist the sinews of thy heart? 

This to me means that RJ really has that tattoo on the shoulder. So, if in the next episode we dont get to see everyones shoulder, it might mean that none of the 5 are RJ

What the hammer? what the chain? 
In what furnace was thy brain? 
What the anvil? what dread grasp 
Dare its deadly terrors clasp? 

is this a relation to Reede Smith?

What do you guys think?

Hi everyone. 

I think Heller is messing with us. It's quite simple:


We all know from Rosalind that RJ is under 6 feet tall. 

We also have Jane's feedback:
"Red John thinks of himself as a showman; an artist. He has a strong sense of theater ... the first thing that anyone sees is the face on the wall. You see the face first and you know. You know what's happened and you feel dread. Then, and only then do you see the body of the victim. Always in that order."

Another clue was in a radio that interview Heller: "Red John is really just a personification of death, I mean it's that simple. Patrick Jane is very much alive and is very much about being alive in the face of death. And Red John is the fate that awaits us all in the end."

I mean... 'Personification of death'? Who's better than a forensic????

And last: the first Partridge's line on the show was: 'Red John enters here...'
Introducing himself with all strong sense of theater  as Jane said.



I trully believe Brett isn't death. That's why his body wasn't investigated or showed up.

Let's think: Brett is a primary suspect on Jane's list...
Why the hell Jane never search for the body, or for evidence?
I mean... They told Jane 'Partridge is dead' and that's it? 

Our clever Patrick would just sit on the bench and watch the others without any confirmation?

LoL not here.

That's why Heller said that it would be disappointing..
... Just because we all would figure it out easily.

Let me know what y'all think.
