LATEST THEORIES

In my opinion i do not believe that red john killed the p.i that bugged cho. Red john said in the season finally i do not like cheap imitations of my work, its 1. Hard to believe its more than one person 2. Yes red john has many friends i highly doubt a very intelligent person like red john would use the 3 dot symbol like hey this is us 4. Out of all the words in the world why would he use tyger tyger its just not that intelligent of a word to be used from somebody that has eluded patrick jane for 6 years. If bruno heller in the end makes it out to be that red john is the leader of tyger tyger thats not such a great plot a, red john has killed about 30 ish people over 12 years do you think he would easily give a clue like a three dotted tattoo away so easily, what gets me is red john yes has friends but what happens when patrick gets close they either commit suicide or get killed by red john why would red john say hey jane i know the list here it is by the way 3 of the 7 people on that list have tattoos if i was red john i would kill all of them it does not make any sense. As far as who red john is i have no clue it could be any man or women. Yes a lot of people are ruling out women and partridge but the way this show is no one is off the radar. Fyi i would not trust rosalind harker for a blind women who never leaves the house she sends a pretty good letter remember the s1 ep9 flame red the boy does pretty good at playing mentally disabled 2 more weeks and the truth will be revealed lets just hope heller does not f it up.

sorry for bad english ;)
ok guys , the brett partridge is alive ' thing ' is good and cool , but bob kirkland still alive ? i dont think so .

also , after reading so many theories i have made my last ' toughts '  :

- brett partridge is still alive
- michael kirkland was just a story , he is not red john and he is dead . 
- bob kirkland is also dead , we saw his death right in front of our eyes !!
- the tyger org.  is the enemy of red john .. and RJ killed the PI and put a fake tattoo just to make the org. down .
- reede smith is not red john but probably he has a strong place in the org. 
- bertram i really dont know what the hell i should think about him .. but i dont think he is red john , but if he is .. i think he is a " double agent " , he work for the tyger tyger and in the samy time he kill with the name of red john , i think that will be truly good .
- ray haffner .. emmm .... i think that if red john is one of the suspects ib the list then its gonna be haffner , he fits the description , he is the ' ladies man ' .
- sheriff thomas , he has the face of a killer , he is always calm and work in a small police of a small town so if he is red john no one in his area will notice .
- bret stiles as everybody said , he is perfectly matched .. he is smart , he is charismatic , he is powerful .. but the problem is the aaaaaaaagge :( 

SO :

- who is red john in my opinion :
1. ray haffner
2. bret stiles
3. gale bertram
4. the sheriff

i think ray haffner is the original red john ( the farm murder ) when he was 'young' but he did it because of bret stiles , i dont know why but thats my tought .. later bret stiles and ray haffner become two killers in one name .. RED JOHN . 

feel free to comment but please without hurting my feelings :)
thank you . this show is the best show i have ever seen and i hope to be a 7th season .

In  S02E10 throwing fire PJ had falshbacks from his childhood with his father.
He remembered a Young very sick girl on a wheelchair with her grandmother i think.
they were ready to do anything so the girl can get well, a very rich family (luxury car and a driver) 10000usd cash almost 25 years ago, to buy a so called Healing Crystal.



RJ has to be someone related to this girl 
a father (bret stiles) or a brother (Ray haffner)

but mostly it was stiles

he created visualize at that time or little bit after that.

he met a Young lost ray haffner and brought him to visualize.

he mentored him in that farm and made him kill maybe Under hypnotise.

they kept on killing, untill one day stiles saw PJ on tv and memories came back
He wanted  revenge, he's the head and haffner made the job don, killed jane's family,
and want to show Patrick that he's a phsycic too.
because Young PJ was called the psyhcic wonder boy,, stiles call PJ my boy,,
Bertram called Pj the first time the boy wonder.
Bertram  is an Inside man for stiles in CBI and tiger.org

Stiles once told Patrick that RJ was preparing a surprise party for him.
he gave him the list of seven trough the handshake thing with Lorelei.
he killed two of seven.
he led him to the three dots, 

Bertram smith and macallister will lead PJ to the surprise party.

the party's guest will be all women
Kristina frye - lisbon - van pelt,
he's planing to kill them in front of PJ
all women because of his daughter,
he already kiled Jane's wife and daughter, the happy memory of Patrick was also a girl,
his therapist sophie miller,
maybe rosalinde harker will be there too.

And finally PJ will see the Healing crystall before he sees RJ.

I have to say I find this incredible.

Final 5.

Probably final 3.  (by comments it is looking likely it is DEFINTILEY one of these 3)

and on this website he has as many theories as Rigsby.

Is there something obvious that is being missed here about Reede Smith??

Like NOBODY suspects him. Is that the point? Everyone focusing on other people? Most of the guilty people in the show are the ones in the background. the ones you least suspect

I get the reasons why physical description, height etc.alot of clues don't match up

How about listing some reasons why it might be him...........

Heres the first couple

1. He seemed in charge in the office with bertam. Almost telling Bertram what to do.

is Bertram reporting direct to him on the phone?

2. How many of the suspects are murderers? He definitely is

I am not saying RJ is Reede Smith, just looking at the possibility that it maybe. Before you all start going.... no chance.. Leave some comments.

The only person out of the 3 with the tattoo who could have killed the private detective woman is McAllister.

Bertram is 6'3, Smith is 6'2. 

When the woman opens the door, she doesn't look up. Their eyes are on the same level.
She is not a giant like those 2 men, in fact she is about Cho's height.

The only person who is not above 6 feet is the sheriff.

I don't know if he is Red John or not, but out of the three it can only be him who killed the woman.
