Theory #9531 • By Sinkz

I have seen many theorys now, but only 1 make sense and that's Ellis Mars. Because he is the only one that fits the "he is mar" clue. Why would we get that clue when it doesn't fit any of the 5 suspects?

Please comment if you can make this clue fit anyone else.

"I'm surprised that the two of you didn't become life long friends when you first shook hands." Life long friends emplies that they met when they were young, not in recent years.

i dont think thats true, i dont think jane and rj met while they were young, i think the only reason they met is because jane said those things on tv and only since then (so max 10 years back) they should have met / shaken hands

Jane & John,

You are correct.

The whole Kirkland twin brothers stuff
 is stupid.

However, it is just NOT as STUPID as YOU!!

You can not even spell "Fucking" correctly. (fucken, ha!) LOL.......

You are nothing more than a pathetic, little Nazi wannabe.

Or as PJ would say, "You are a ghoul."

Get off the computer now, I do believe that you mommy is calling, time for your bath.

HA!

Peace.

SPOILER** SPOILER**

It is reported that some countries in Europe have gotten access to episodes 7 and 8!! Bertram is revealed as Red John. Jane has his back turned and hears Red Johns voice. When he turns around, Bertram is staring at him while holding a linoleum knife. Bertram starts laughing at how he brutally murdered Janes family.

Jane kills Bertram only to have the Tyger Tyger organization cover things up.

Guys I just found something interesting about Bertram in episode 16 of season 3 Red Queen, the episode where, long story short Madeleine Hightower kidnapped Patrick Jane at the CBI because she was being framed for the murder of Todd Johnson (former cop killer and know associative to Red John) and Montero(a friend of Todd Johnson who provided him weapons) and needed a plan to get away. After a few moments we see Bertram LaRoche and Lisbon discussing the situation and then Bertram says and I quote :

"And when they little heart doth wake, then the dreadful night shall break" and also revealing that he really likes this poem, which is a poem by William Blake, the same author of "Tyger tyger". 

Also after reading theory #9429 I realized the importance of the detail that Bertram did not react in a predictable manner at all when Jane accused one of the 5 suspects to be Red John. He suspiciously kept his calm throughout the meeting (why is that?). I also realized after reading various theories that most of the clues giving actual description of Red John are misleading, a way to keep the viewers into the mystery. I mean Bruno is almost making fun of us, each episode we see how a new suspect is a good whistler, is scared of something, has only 3 letters in his name, etc.. almost like all of them are Red John. If we assume that Red John is one the five remaining suspects then I would definitively pick Sheriff Tom McAllister. The fact that Jane first pointed his gun at Tom means that he was expecting him from the start to have the tattoo ( which kinda of makes sense as Jane always knows who the killer is before even gathering enough proofs in all of his cases), and also we may assume that Jane does not know yet the Tyger tyger conspiracy so maybe Jane knew Red John would be Tom the day they met (episode 2 of season 1).

There is still far too many questions to be answered and I hope the next episode we have  clear options on the table as for the actual identity of Red John.
Its always a pleasure to hear what you guys think and thanks for reading.

All this Kirklands twin brother shit is stupid, why would Bruno Heller only have Red Johns name said 5 episodes before his capture? before that episode no one knew Kirkland had a brother, so that is just fucking stupid, all you cunts are retarded fuck heads if you think it is him. sieg fucken heil

If Red John would be the twin brother of bob kirkland i would be dissapointed!! It's like saying patrick jane has a twin brother and lisbon a twin sister.
That's bullshit, red john has to be someone of the mentalist show who is still alive not a twin actor thats plane stupid
