When near dead killed girl tell PJ about 3 dots tattoo on killer left hand , i think that Hafner kill her. Why?
In that episode when Van Pelt Lisbon and Heffner alone in hotel room where murder is done , watch carefull when Hefner see spider on the couch , and he told he is scared and hate spiders. Maybe that 3 dots isnt really tatoo , but it is a spider bites on hand , whick obvies belong to Hafner.
So Hefner is RJ or almost right hand of RJ
I am betting that the tattoo the PI told Jane about is on more than one person. I bet it is a Visualize tattoo and Haffner, Stiles and possibly others have it on their arm.
Nick Nordella will play in the episodes 7 and 8 and he extremely looks like Haffner, nose ,lips ,eyes ,HAFFNER IS POSSIBLY RED JOHN GUYS
A little bit paranoic my theory, but the only character which has not inside his name the letter "R" a part from Boscos which is dead is Kimball Cho.
all rest people has a name which contains the letter R.

The three dotted tattoo is a prison tattoo whitch means : I don't see anything , I don't listen anything and I don't say anything and its a promise to a special group !
And we know that Red john was in the Prison
Malcolm McDowell (Stiles) is the most famous guest actor involved, so it has to be him.The Mentalist always casts the most recognized actor in an episode as the killer.
i think on the list everybody somehow connected to Red John, but neither of them is him. I am starting to think about what if is Van Pelt father. He is or was a football coah or something and we saw that one of the clue was to RJ was the football statue. Van pelt was the crazy boyfriend maybe was his father behind it. Grace has red hair and her name is means mercy, and the Van Pelt is holland close to german, and red is rot in holland too. The tiger tiger...poem is a child poem, sound like somebody used to sing to someone, and in the poem there is a line which says i don't remebre exactly but somewhere i heard that somebody made the beast and the nice one..so that might be related, so he is talking about his children.
And i think Jane and Van Pelt are related and might be their father is the killer. Jane hasn't know about his father since he ran away from the circus, that might be possible that his father started fresh and settled down with a new family as a coach.
