LATEST THEORIES

After that Patrick and Lisbon visited Bertram's office and informed him about the Red John case, Bertram called someone and said that he just had a very interesting conversation with Patrick Jane. Who did he call? Red John? Is this how Red John knew about the meeting and planned the bombing?

RJ is definitely Ron (Red Jhon). Notice that 6 season 1 Jane chapter and section, and speaks on the phone with Red John is going through at this time in the hands of the police station over the telephone is still open RON. Meanwhile Robin is completely painted with the blood of Spoken fool screenwriters. Robin has already popped and returned to the center.

The whole Red John thing will be an interesting discovery. Not too simple, but not too complicated. 

First of all I want to say who is NOT Red John. And those are the three suspects with the dots. It's obvious they're all in something bad, maybe related to Red John, but they are not. Of that I am sure. They don't seem like the type of people.

Second I just want to mention all the things that have caught my attention through the series, things to consider to know who Red John is:

a) The famous "He is Mar". Maybe many, or even try to google Texe Marrs, he has something to do with the name of the next episode "The Great Red Dragon", which is a William Blake thing as well.
This is probably an interesting thing.
b) The pigeons for sure are a big clue.
c) I think all the phobias are just a way to distract the fans.
d) The thing with LaRoche is still hanging there, it was never clear.
e) What about Bob Kirkland? He is not done, at least not his twin brother. 
d) I think the Tiger, Tiger password and the poem RJ says, there's obviously a connection.
f) When Teresa is at the Hospital, the nurse asks for some Chinese person, not a coincidence. 
g) And most importantly, Bret Stiles, that ritual, there's of course something there.
h) Many other details that I have probably forgotten.

My take is that RJ was Bret Stiles, the one who killed Jane's family, or the voice at least. But I think RJ is some sort of symbolism. Bret Stiles is the leader, and a lot of people are connected.

Hello to
everyone here!

Since the beginning of the show, the writers always came up with a twist on every
story, especially the ones involving RJ. I expect nothing less from them at RJ’s
final chapter. I strongly believe that the final 3 to 5 suspects are
misleading. It is not much of a twist there, is it?



Maybe we
should look things from a different perspective, the one of RJ’s. RJ likes to
play games but still plans everything carefully and has been ahead of everyone
since the beginning. Therefore, given that the initial list of 7 is genuine and
RJ is in it, he must have an agenda. He can either work himself out of the list
or develop a plan for a major hit on his enemy/ies at the risk of getting caught.


I don’t
believe that RJ would just sit tight and wait for Jane to get to him (even to
the point of 3 to 5 suspects) unless he knows he is dying anyway (that makes
Stiles the perfect candidate). If that is the case, Stiles must be planning something
big.


If RJ is trying
to exclude himself from the list, faking death is one logical choice (for one
having the means it should be easy enough. We have seen it happening before with
Hightower). That makes both Partridge and Kirkland (Bob
or Michael) strong candidates.


Last, if RJ
is not on the list, someone very close to Jane inside the CBI group must be the
answer!

 
Thanks for your patience!

I accuse Bertram because description of Rosalind Harker and phcyho evaluation.
He camed in serie when Patrick started to come closer to the Red John.
He culd follow Patric whole time and he was the one who quouted Blakes poem.
He always asked wrong questions Patrick.
And at the end of seventh episode in sixth seasone he, reed and sheriff ware the only ones whit tattoos.
Reed Smith is just a deciple we know that for sure, sheriff climbed on the roof of the church so that kills the fear of heights clue. 
In moment when Patrick saw the tattoos, Bertram was only one who had look of guilt in he's eyes.

And just for everyone to know Bertram is my only suspec from the moment i saw him in The Mentalist.
