LATEST THEORIES

The whole episode 5 was about Haffner. The Haffner which is still as dumb as a shoe and definitely not RJ.
Why do you all believe RJ killed the poor PI? How come she said she is working for Visualize? Only dumb Haffner was trying to hire this PI and failed like a child. Then went to cover up is dear career as private contractor. Yes, most likely if Haffner was dumb enough, which is not surprising head had his sleeves up revealing his tattoo while kill the poor woman.
I'm very disappointed about 2 previous episodes, but hey we need to go them one by one...

I do believe that somehow, we're going to see Brett return in the future.  However, while I think that Brett is involved, I'm not ready to say that he's Redjohn.

What I want to bring up is that, according to e5, the person who attacked Tinsley has a tattoo on their left arm.  As someone here observed, in e1 of Season 1, there is a shot of a paramedics team member loading a body into an ambulance, and then there is a slow-motion close-up shot of their LEFT ARM with a tattoo of what looks like the Grim  Reaper.  This CAN'T just be coincidence.

How this all plays into the bigger story I'm not sure, but surely, I'm not alone in thinking that this has to be connected somehow, no?

One of the most demonstration why bob kirkland is red john or red john's man when he killed Lennon ( which is Red John's friend ) in order to avoid talking with to Patrick Jane in hospital. We understand that in this episode, Michael Kirkland  was most likely kill him  passed to the side of the twin Red John. As well people relevant to Red John did you see me in advance that why he asked the his twin search ...

To the people who are saying RJ is not on the list, the list is a trick, Heller was crafty with his words, etc. Let me remind you of his COMPLETE comment

"Yes, we can trust that list. As much as much as Red John has been one step ahead, Lorelei Martins’ intervention changed the game. So as much as Red John is trying to play from a position of strength in reality Jane has gotten a lot closer. This last episode of the season really sets us up for next season: The hunt is on, no messing about...... Up until now if you’re comparing it to Moby Dick, which is one of the analogies I used to describe the length of the chase, next season the whale has been sighted and they’re in the small boats and chasing the whale. It’s much faster paced, more thrilling, more action, more surprises. We’ll still be delivering those mysteries every week. But just as you see with the last episode of the season, there’s no more tracking and more chasing." is that convincing enough?

Not to be mean, but some people here either need to get a job or a girlfriend? Way to much time on your hands.

Since people are asking why RJ would hire a sloppy PI when he could have used his sources to bug CBI, and thus eliminating Bertram, Haffner, etc as suspects because they had access to bug the CBI, my theory is, maybe RJ wanted the PI to be caught. He had convinced her that Visualize was hiring her. Maybe he was trying to create a rift between Visualize and Patrick. But then Patrick talked to Cooper and figured it out. RJ being a Visualize member found out about it. He rushed to kill her before she would identify him. He had limited time and so he couldn't make sure she was dead.
 Also, maybe RJ did,murder her in a trench coat like he usually does. Maybe he met her at the gym when he was working out in a vest maybe, and that's when she had seen the tattoo. RJ didn't expect her to pay attention, or that anyone would find out it was him, not Visualize, so he wasn't extra careful. What do you guys think?
