LATEST THEORIES

I don't know but I've heard Heller verified the suspect list so I'm very very confused.. I didn't actually think that RJ would be on the list of the 7 suspects.. Anyways, my point is, that Styles is the only one of those who has that many connections and can hide it perfectly behind Visualize. Which means even if he was talking to a victim of any RJ related case he could easily talk himself out of it by saying it was someone who needed help from Styles aka the head of Visualize. Some people say it has to be Haffner because RJ must've been a cop of some kind to have so many connections with cops and agents from the fbi, cbi, homeland security and who knows where else.. And I also like to think that because he knows that his followers/Visualize members would always cover for him, for literally everything.


But either way I hope RJ messes up big time so that Jane can follow another track.. because the thing with the tattoo can be RJ but it's not very plausible because I don't think RJ would ever be this careless, although he was in a hurry when he killed the woman he/or someone from the tyger communtiy hired to bug the cbi because he knew the police and the cbi were coming for him. 

Soooo anyways.. Oh! and also the thing about the not-knowing where styles is since Loreleis video is also very suspicious.. but couldn't it also be the tyger community who made up Red John to confuse the authorities to let them think that it is only one person and not a whole community..? Because the authorities think the they are just RJs "followers" and (maybe/probably) think they're more or less harmless to society... I don't think that this is very plausible though.. It HAS to be ONE person.. or? ugh I'm so confused right now.. when I first started watching the show I was hoping that Jane himself was Red John because he has a split personality or something like that which would be SO AWESOME but we all know that this is most likely not going to happen.. 

yeah.. that was my theory; I just hope that this isn't the last season of The Mentalist, the story is really awesome and I just don't want it to end.. 

I hope it wasn't tooooo long haha I'm sorry if it was..

Haffner will be killed off. Seeing how strongly Heller wants us to think its him.

Is like to say stiles, but like Bertram, he is too publicly known to go into Sophie Millers office as a fake identity.

Smiths only a pawn in the tyger group. Has no real significance otherwise.

Leaves us with Sherriff. Which I'm not thrilled about. But makes sense. He was there from the beginning and not around to make a mistake.

The odd thing is, in the voice of RJ he has a slight southern accent. Refer to season four finale. Was the only conversation he had with Jane. (In which both actively spoke). "You strung me along for a good long while". Sherriff has the only accent on the list.

Facts:

1. Kirkland is dead. 6 left

2. Bertram + Smith + Mcallister = Corrupted police ( Tiger - Tiger ) led by RJ so possibilities is they are not RJ

3. Haffner was police and still is Visualize.

4. Patrick got a clue that is massive ( tattoo of RJ )

5. Pattridge has the most similar voice to RJ

My thoughts:

In season 5 if im not mistaken patrick and his team invastigate a case at an old farm house which was controlled by VIsualize and had the red john face on its wall from long time ago.

Detective said that she was hired by visualize before she got killed by her client ( RJ ) 

As stated by the doctor RJ has phobias and haffner seems to be scared of things

They say that RJ controls many people and so does Brett stiles from visualize

My Conclussion

RJ is 6 men:

Pattridge = his voice

3 agents ( FBI , CBI , POLICE ) his eyes and ears

Haffner = his hands

Stiles = his brain and leader...


What I am not sure though is that red john appeared as a person to the doctor and she concluded but a visualize member would never do that because they all some how find inner peace at that place.

And more interesting is that RJ never makes mistakes that are THAT obvious to patrick...

Hey guys!

I thought about Lorelei Martins and to me she seems as if she really likes Jane.
Furthermore she is clever and I'm sure subconsciously she knows that what red John does isn't good and feels sorry for what he did to Jane.
Since she's part of Red John's doings she's a bad conscience to Jane. 
So she gives him a hint: the "shaking hands" thing.
Not by mistake, but with purpose, because she doesn't react as if she revealed something she didn't want to say.
What if she told him exactly who Red John is in that sentence?
"I'm surprised you didn't become lifelong friends from the moment you shook hands"
Well, maybe she means that ironically?
And tells him with this that maybe his best friend (Lisbon) is Red John, because actually they became kind of lifelong friends after they shook hands.

Guys I have an idea.I think that the meeting of Bertram McAllister and Smith was about Red John i think they know who is Red John because he is or was a former member of the secret police organization Tyger Tyger i think he threatens to reveal the organization secrets if he is caught or betrayed by them.And this idea leaves out as suspects Bertram McAlister and Smith as possible suspects and Kirkland and Partridge are dead so what is left are Stiles and Haffner.I don't want Red John to be any of the seven suspects cause i imagine him as a perfect living monster and dont know who can play his role,but according to Heller the list is accurate so, Stiles never worked for any police force so we are left with Haffner.Please comment and rate and tell me what you think.
