LATEST THEORIES

Finally i figured out who Red John is!

Red John is US President, Barack Obama.

1. First, the smiley. It looks identical with Obama smile.

2. Second, he killed because he was enourmously depressed with his workload as US president. Therefore, he need some fun and gain some ecstacy.

3. Bertram, Smith, Mc Allister, and Partridge were Obama associates. They cleaned up the mess make by RJ. RJ killed Partridge because RJ worried he will revealed to Mr. Jane his true identity. So was Kirkland.

4. Obama dont like to be humiliated. He liked Jane because he was a con man. He was a perfect candidates for the next Secretary General of White House.

5. He hunts Hightower because she rejected his love during college. They studied together in Hawaii before.

6. Obama spare Lisbon because she is hot and knows that Jane attracted to her. He killed Sophie, Miss Frye and Lorelei because he thinks all of them didnt fit Jane. Instead, all of them has fallen love to Jane. However, Jane refused and stayed loyal to Lisbon. RJ appreciated that and help him to deceased all of them out of records.

7. Visualize has large connection and Obama had to favor them to win more votes in the upcoming election. Last time, Obama realized all members of visualize contributes 30% of the total vote in the election. If he owned Stiles to vote for Democrat, Obama doesnt need to lobby the Jewish for swing votes anymore.

Thank you for reading!
Finally Red John is revealed!!!

Whilst Lorelei Martins was reading out the names in the season 5 finale, I noticed a very weird thing. Whilst she did say the short version of Robert Kirkland's name, Bob Kirkland, she called Raymond Haffner by its full name. Maybe she had to do this to avoid suspicion? It could also just be random, but I think that you wouldn't call someone with a smaller nickname by his full name if it weren't for a good reason.

Ray Haffner is still my Red John.

I know I have already posted but I wanted to mention something else.

One thing that I think people have been overlooking myself included is that all of the suspects show a grudging dislike towards Patrick, I know this does not seem like much but I think it is perhaps one of the most significant clues we have.

It is quite clear that Red John does not hate Patrick, it is quite the opposite, Red John is quite fond of Patrick. Patrick is almost like family to Red John he has been a constant figure in his life for quite some time. There have been many occasions where Red John has saved Patrick and even reached out to him. Red John wants a friendship with Patrick something that is rather uncommon with all 6 suspects. I think that the need for further connection with Patrick also shows vulnerability, every time Red John is seemingly rejected by Patrick he kills, an act of defiance and rage, this makes me think that Red John is actually quite young, or was quite young somewhere in his 30s or early 40s now.

Personally I thought that it may be the sheriff but then I stated to realize that he does not fit the characteristics at all, the sheriff is seemingly kind hearted not to mention his age. I think that it is quite possible that Lisbon is working with Red John, it would make a lot of sense but I don't think it would make a good ending.

Think about the ideals of the show, it is about the constant presents of good and evil and the idea that evil can be overcome. Patrick has a warm and happy relationship with his team members. I honestly don't think that Heller would end it like that, the final message of the series and the reveal of Red John needs to be a powerful message, something that I don't think will be seen if Red John is someone to close to Jane.

On an unrelated note what do you think Patrick will do when he finds Red John?
I personally don't think he will outright kill him, because that concept very much conflicts with much of what Patrick stands for.

How on earth is Bertram RJ. According to one of a few episodes I can clearly remember, it's bullshit. When Van Pelt's fiance reveals himself to be the mole by sending a killer to a hotel room, it makes it obvious that everyone else on whom Jane used that trick(including Bertram) is uninvolved, otherwise it just wouldn't work.

OMG.... Enough with the Brett Partridge theories people..... He is dead, Heller has said he is dead... the actor has said he is dead, they said on the show he is dead. He never was or will never be red john. You are just all pissed that  who you thought was red john can not be.....

That is the whole reason Heller killed him first.... to build the mystery around the final six (now three I guess) .....if there is goign to be a twist.... it will be revealed Red John is one of the other two... but Partridge (and Kirkland for that matter) are dead...

Move on and pick another suspect!

I have watched the tv promo 6x07 again. They say: it's down to the final three suspects. But the truth, uncovering even a bigger lie.  I dont really think that one of the three suspects is red john, altough heller wants to see us bertram as the suspicious one.

Rigsby says in the promo red john planned the bomb to kill jane and the other suspects. I think that no one is killed with the blast. It's an set up by jane, to get the real red john. So the three suspects on the board(mccalister, stiles and haffner) are still alive other wise i think rigsby wouldnt say that red john tried to kill jane (he would say to kill the suspects). I think jane told rigsby to say that to the others that red john planned the bomb.

My guess is haffner, but we will see.
