I am still convinced that Bob Kirkland is not dead. I believe that Haffner and Smith are part of a team to fake the death of Bob Kirkland.

Im wondering... what will do patrick jane after catching Red john?he already "killed" and admitted the red john murder'sand I dont think that he comes back to jail.

so, what will do to take revenge and be absolved again?

by the way? someone else realized that Cho was very distracted in the last episode? (talking with Rigsby) seemed to be on another planet and then allowed to wrap by the girl hired by Red John, maybe he's involved (forced) with the Tyger organization... (he already knows the blake's poem and also is not surprised that Rigsby doesn't buy the story of the Kirkland's death.

Case closed:

* "The Great Red Dragon" is the episode in which Red John's identity is revealed.

* Jordan Harper is the writer of this episode. Harpers first episode as writer on The Mentalist was
"Redline" - the episode where Walter Mashburn was introduced for the first time.

Jordan Harper  is the one picking up his storyline ofc and leading us to the revelation that:

RJ = HE IS MAshburn

I admit it was a bit of cheating checking out who was the writer and putting it together that way.

I'm pretty much sure that the scene in the next episode promo in which Patrick threatens the suspects is fake he's getting very close why would he get desperate now and ruin everything he has something up his sleeves like he always do it might be something like season 4 finale but this time he ( as we can see in the promo ) won't tell Lisbon about his ultimate plan to catch red john I think that things won't go as he planned exactly because he still isn't fully aware of tyger tyger conspiracy maybe that's the reason it would take us another two episodes to find out who red john is

Not really a theory just two quick observations: When RJ kills that girl, where the hell is Ray Haffner? Secondly what does the 3 dots mean? Maybe it's an alliance of 3 of the remaining RJ suspects, whom ALL are RJ in a sense. In 2 episodes one more will be crossed off the list, meaning 4 will remain. Ps please no more partridge, Jane, or our favourite CBI team theories, THANKS

when lisbon got the anonymous tip in the first episode. she saw that partridge was at the scene from the tracking system. but they were also tracking the other suspects, and if partridge was "killed" by rj, then shouldnt the suspect who is rj show up at the crime scene on the tracking system as well?

Why did Reede go after Kirkland? He set him up.Maybe he knew that he was on the list of suspects? Maybe it's Reede. Sure he might have gone after him because he was investigating him but he went after him BEFORE Kirkland said TYGER TYGER.
