First things
first; excuse my poor language, AR is my native.
I am not
gonna dig into theories; I just wanna share some thoughts, which I believe most of 'em are being posted before! and my view on the ID
of Rj.
  
1 – Regarding
Bob Kirkland.



A; how he
knew the latest updates regarding Pj list!



B; if he knew
that “Tyger-Tyger”  is a keyword to a
corrupted organization, don't you think PJ wouldn't know!




C; He tested
R. Smith, with the keyword; Smith didn’t interact, which means.


1-   
 “Tyger-Tyger”
club members, knows each other, and Bob is a reflagged person for ‘em



2-   
 Why Bob “in the
first place” tested a low-level-guy, when he knows there is no place for ‘em
inside “Tyger-Tyger”



3-   
Bob’s character has been shown to us as a man who talks
without telling, so why he told Smith, almost everything!



4-   
As for a HS agent; it is really ridiculous to go murder
someone and leaving traces behind which may leads back to you! He seems like
someone who wants the others know!



5-   
Torturing  Pj;
does he really thought that; he could easily go away with it or torture Pj is
an effective method to extract information out of Pj


6-   
The “have you seen me before” phrase indicates that Bob
has his own suspicious that his twin-bro faked his ID at certain point.


 



2 –
Regarding Patrick Jane.



A; Patrick is
alternate name/form of PINK, While Jane is pretty close to John! Is it really consequence
that Rj picks such a closer name to Pj’s?



B; Back to
the marriage during “Wedding in Red”


1-         
How Pj aint knows what to say next while he was married
before!



2-         
McAllister has fear of birds, and Pj has fear of heights
:)




C; Back to “Cackle-bladder
Blood” S03E02


-         
“Because hating me is just a waste of your energy.
It’s pointless. Just move on. Drop it. Find something to love” – Patrick



Doesn’t it
sound like an advice given by Rj to Pj before!



One more
catchy discussion at the cemetery.


Pj ; You
know, this is the first time I’ve been here since the funeral.


Danny; why
is that!


Pj ;
"they are not here."


Who knows
for sure! Danny replied.



A couple of
things to note!


1-   
There is no date of death on the grave stones of Angela
and Charlotte!



2-   
Danny only talked about Pj daughter! Never mentioned his
own sis!




D; S04E10 “Fugue
in Red”


When Pj loses
his memory, he goes back before his marriage. Well, this has been explained as
a defensive situation by his Doc. But is that means wiping all of his “love of
his life” memories!



E; Back to
an EP which I can’t remember its season nor the name!


When Pj back
to the carny which he used to live at, Sam slaps him on the face and when Pj
asked about the reason why! She replied, Detroit.
What is so important to
flashback Detroit City and not Pj’s wedding “if there was one” or even Angela’s
Funeral?



F; what’s
the big deal about his shoes which always gets fixed then wear it again, time
after time! He has shown great attachment to those particular shoes. And not to
mention Rj shoes which is a Cowboy one!



G; In some
earlier EPs “I.E "Jolly Red Elf" he refused to get Teresa involved to
any Rj related subjects and he always says; I don’t want her to get hurt. But
later he accepted to get her linked to something more risky and has a direct
contact to Rj “The List of 7”.



H; When M.
Hightower stated that; B. Kirkland suspected him as Rj, Pj didn’t even asked or
wondered, all he said; of course. Sounds like acceptance!



I; With B.
Kirkland, Pj used many phrases just like Rj. “Cloak and dagger, apple doesn’t
fall far from the tree”



J; How could
Pj just leave Bob go that easy, we always used to see him so attached to those
who got a direct contact and/or any information regarding Rj, unless he
believes that Bob got any! Or maybe Bob death is just a FAKE!



K; He has
been referred as Madeline’s Sweetheart, later Poor Lamb by her aunt! Maybe she
is the only one who got kissed many times by Pj, her door-out CBI was Pj trick,
EP; Red Queen!

 



3 - Bret
Stiles
; he surely knows a lot of things regarding Rj childhood, and I quote;
"I know so much more than you "Pj" or Red John Could ever
imagine"

Well, if it
means something to me; Bret Stiles is someone who witnessed the Rj childhood...
I'm not claiming that he could be his father or something, but I go with; his
Mentor during Rj Visualize days.

 


I could
easily believe that Bret maybe the father of Brett Partridge but actually I go
with Grandfather, maybe there's some sort of conflict between Rj and Bret
and/or Brett, however; vengeance will be on Brett's shoulder "done
already". So that's why Haffner, dropped a visit to Teresa regarding Rj
latest investigation updates, just to forward 'em to Brett, so he can revenge Brett
murder or whatever!



4 - I need
one logical reason which led Rj watching Pj talk show! And why Rj decided to
murder Pj family this time! Just ‘cause Pj talked nasty?

 



5 - Pigeons,
supposed to be Teresa Happy Memory "My Happy memory when my mother was
feeding pigeons"

well, So why
she wasn't distracted or paid attention while she was sitting next to
some-woman feeding pigeons! Maybe that's the pause reason of Pj!

 



6 -
Rosalind,
I believe she wasn't born blind, or how could she was able to read Rj
address on the back of a business card!

 



7 - Dr.
Wagner,
is someone who surely played a huge part of Rj’s life, one of his specialists
is cosmetic surgery which maybe explain the clue from S01… He is Mar.

Maybe it is; He is Ma”n”y and this is a twins possibility

8 - Cho, someone who really loves reading, despite we can't see any of his books title! and he served in the military "joined to leave his history of violence behind" he is not around Rj crimes scene but there is one scene in S04 Finale blown this theory away, he was in SUV with Rigs at the very moment Rj is talking to Pj, and this conversation, there is no way to be recorded. Rj was interacting with every single word comes out of Pj

For me, Rj
is someone from Pj carny’s life or so close to his family and I don’t mean his wife and
daughter.
But if I gotta pick someone from the list, I will follow Pj advice;
“the simplest
answer is often
correct”
 

so I
go with “Walter Mashburn”
I would pick Pj himself but there are some clues
decline that choice…

Its Sheriff Mcallister. His disciple was Sherriff Hardy yes a sheriff, nice nod by Heller,the biggest clue was in S1 how did this elude me!

Look at carefully the face RJ drew on Lisbon's face. Eyes were kind of vertical eyes. But they were actually exclamation marks. Watch again :D. RJ says "pay attention" to Partridge. It cannot be McAllister because he fears of pigeons and there were pigeons in the building. He would have chosen another building that does not have pigeons in it.

RJ = Mcallister. RJ has a thing for women. So does the sheriff, remember how he approached van pelt.

Saison 2 episode 8....23.25. the board seems Moby dick (a little)

I think people are looking to far into it... 
This is just a thought..
It was said that at the end of season 3 by Heller that Jane would face Red John. Not kill him. Just face him. Bertram was the one who faced him in that season. Im not saying that Red John is him. But so far this is the theory that has stuck out the most. Especially Because Robin Tunney said that she was surprised at who Red John was. Which would make perfect sense. As an actress in the show you wouldn't expect it to be the person in charge of the CBI. It also gives him an inside view to everything Jane is doing. And is extremely creepy because Jane sees him almost every day. In the episodes of season 6, Bertram has also 'flown under the radar', there hasn't been an episode on him yet. And he hasn't been shown as someone that Red John could be, besides from being on the list, we have nothing else that could link him.

If i had to choose one on the list it would be Bertram... Although all of them seem to have 'Red John' traits, i think that is to make the fans continue to guess. Which is working, cause the more i read the theories the more ideas i get. 

One thing is for sure but... I am freaken excited to to find out!!!!
