Seriously, when I try and explain to people how Brett Partridge is Redjohn, and they start linking interviews, its ridiculous. "Brett Partridge is dead." What, are you 3 years old? You must be if you think that discounts him from being Redjohn. I'll try once more.

Brett Partridge is the name he made for himself when he became head of Tiger, Tiger. He kills that alias, to become, just Redjohn. 

Brett = Son of Bret
Partridge = William Blake fan

Now I know how Patrick Jane felt when Teresa told the team about RJ suspects, and tracked them. Its the people that are really out of their depth that say "Brett Partridge is dead, you're delusional."

For those that say "It's unoriginal," I can respect that. But a lot of people knew Brett Partridge is Redjohn since season 1. He was the main suspect for all 6 seasons in viewer's eyes, bar the time when Timothy Carter was presumed to be Redjohn. Bruno needed to sacrifice originality to bring some surprise back. The backstory is absolutely immense, tracing back to Jane's days in the carnival! Here's a taste. Rosalynd Harker is the dying girl Patrick conned with his father, but there's waaay waaay more!  He can sacrifice originality, because the backstory contains information from EVERY SINGLE SEASON. *Can almost hear a hater chanting "Doi, How'd yoo know"* It's so cleverly done, its a masterpiece. For those that are still peed, who cares, you wouldn't understand most of it anyway? Millions of people will love it.

Before people start yelling in my face, "PARTRIDGE IS DEAD, IDIOT," I just want to say this:
If RJ isn't Partridge, I don't think it's someone on the list.
And if RJ turns out to be someone from the list who isn't Partridge, well, strike me dead or something.
The others just don't make sense.

Theory #7935 • By RedPelt
Show this theory

The fact to use a Private detective to put a microphone on CHO is the clue. Is a great movement from Visualize to control CHO, that means visualie is getting close to RJ.

My feeling again, cho is RJ.

On  the other forum year ago we discuss about who is RJ?  A lot put a strong theory , me and other who carefull watch all the episodes.


1.) In entire series never I mean never show up PJ wife and child dead?!  So figure out what I try to tell :)
2.) Minelli was a almost 5 month top forums disscuss that he might be RJ , but put ot of the list.
3.) PJ father also show only in 1 episode and never show again , and Patrick never told anyone anything about his father NEVER. :))
4.) Other theories that might be usefull is that Patrick might have a double life , RJ SMILE PAINTING IS ALMOST THE SAME AS PJ WHEN SMILE , all notice that i think so.
5.) And there is a lot of theory and theory all world wrote years , but no one know for sure until last episode.
6.) But guys just be realistic , why PJ never catch RJ for now , becouse Lisbon is all time on his side :)))

I don't get it ; 

Why Jane thought Red John sent Kira Tinsley to bug CBI, this is very stupid, why would RJ try kind of a stupid thing? 

Untill now, RJ always got information two step ahead 

Who might send someone to bug CBI? Haffner likes kind of thing and last time while Haffner was chief  he tried to get information from Cho. So, maybe 3 dots with Haffner but it does not show that Haffner is RJ. There is something creepy about Haffner but nothing sure to make him RJ.

I am really suspecious of if 3 dots belonging to RJ or someone else.

My list of suspects for RJ:
CBI Ron
Wayne Rigsby
Walter Mashburn

I bet it is one of them(most likely CBI Ron).

Walter Mashburn just seems so jovial and charming all the time, someone who could be friends with Patrick. So that makes him the least obvious, and in my book that means he's Red John! :-P

Also this was bugging me...In The Red Tattoo episode, after Patrick outs Kira, Cho asks her, "Who hired you? Was it Visualize?" She just says "Uh yeah." She didn't out Visualize as the group that hired her, she just agreed with what Cho said. Later, when she answered her door, she said, "Oh Hi" in a way that showed she already knew the person. So when Patrick arrived at the crime scene and asked her "who did this to you?" why did she give him a description, that is, the tattoo? She could have just told him a name. The killer left her alive and told her to only tell Patrick that "...he had a tattoo on his left arm" while depicting it in her own blood. It was Red John who used the PI, not to gain intel at the CBI, but as part of his cat and mouse game with Patrick -- so he could give him the new tattoo clue.
