LATEST THEORIES

I still think that its him. RJ has to be a charismatic person and none of the main suspects is. He is very intelligent, convincing and charming and when he is around PJ he ACTS as a very friendly person, letting him drive his car, having fun, laughing a lot, acting as if he was a child sometimes etc. Like saying: Ey Im just an extravagant millionaire dont take my serious. 

RJ followers would die for RJ and i dont imagine anyone dying for bertrand or haffner but i could imagine people following WM. He is also the character that looks like more harmless and it would fit in a "shocking" ending. Also I think he had sex with Lisbon for a reason. Like it was part of some kind of plan or message. After that he didnt appear again and I think that  its something that was written for some reason and it could be explained later.

Also Lisbon has been acting suspicius during this chapters and I think that they want us to believe that she is part of the bad guys but in the end I imagine that she would be non guilty.

I also dont know what the planning for the tv show ending. It looks like they are following the 7 list of suspects and the last man standing has to be RJ. I hope that that wont be the ending but it could be just like that. I would like something more tricky but last 5 seasons didnt have many complicated stuff. There are so many clues in the air and I think that the finale wont explain everything.  think that the ending may suck a little bit because he have so much espectations . conspiratory theorys trying to explain every act, every suspicious look... Im pretty sure that it would end in an easier way. 

Look the examples of Prison Break or LOST. So many stuff in the air and in the end....  They want us to watch the next episode so they make us believe that the final is going to be great and that all the 500 clues are going to be explained and its not like that. The ending is just an episode, what cares is the previous 20.

Continuing with the WM theory, If you were RJ why would you live hidding from everybody or having a regular job like the sheriff or partridge or haffner... You should act as if you had nothing to hide like Mashburn does but also not letting anybody be too close to you.

Mashburn is RJ!!! Who is with me?

If Ray Haffner is Red John, Jane could just turn into a spider to defeat him and destroy his good health.
If the sheriff is Red John Jane could turn into a pigeon and devour his eyeballs.

Orville Tanner was cellmates with Red John.

Here are some jobs which you can't get with a criminal record:

FBI Agent.
CBI Agent.
CBI Director.
County Sheriff.

Just sayin'.

does somebody remember back in the finale of season 5 that lisbon briefly said that a specific song reminds her of her mother feeding pigeons? its when PJ and lisbon are discussing the fact that RJ killed one of PJs happy memories. 
is it not odd that in 6X02 ending they sit next to a woman feeding pigeons and we also get to see PJ watching the woman, acting strange, focusing on her hands. 

i think brett is very much alive. i havent doubted for a second that he is RJ and i think he is following PJ. not to only to spy on him but because he likes him very much and wants to be his friend and companion.

I think it must be Reede Smith. During Red John appearance in season 2, the actor Drew Powell was thinner. He now has short, straight hair and is a bit fat. He easily shows his anger, but Heller stated in an interview that RJ could be him with psychopathic anger masked by anger. That is the best way to hide it. Everyone believes that since he cannot hide his anger, he cannot be RJ as Rj is cool, calm but who knows Smith might be putting on an act as displaying his anger.

Hi guys



This is my theory:


There are two organizations, Tiger, Tiger and
RJ organization. Those two organizations are in war, and war became more
serious, when RJ killer Brett Partridge. Partridge is member of Tiger Tiger
organization. Bruno Heller said that there is clue in S06 E01. That clue will
have more sense at the end of the story. We all will understand that clue at
the end, but in my opinion that clue is when Partridge said Tiger Tiger. That
is evidence that Partridge was member of that organization.

Ray Haffner is RJ, because Rosalind Harker described
him, and he is Visualize member, and he could be on that farm, where RJ killed
his first victims.

Todd Johnson was a cop killer, and I think he
was killing police officers that are members of Tiger, Tiger organization.  Kira Tinsley was hired by Tiger Tiger
organization, not by RJ, and that is reason why someone from Tiger organization
murdered her. She had to bug CBI offices, because Jane would figure out if they
send some police officer. It is much easier to send someone from outside.

Craig O’Laughlin and that Sheriff from final
episode of last episode did not have tattoo, and we are sure that they were RJ
friends. They were cops and why they did not have a Tattoo.  That is because they were friends of RJ and
not members of Tiger organization.  

Betram wants RJ and that is why he is so eager to
be there when Jane catches him.  

Why Kirkland killed Jason Lennon, which is one
question that I cannot understand. I think that producers want to mislead us.

Hello, everybody.
This is not really theory, rather what we should think it really happened when Heller and the production ruin the whole plot with absurd explanations, dumb motives, pompastic twists. I believe that not only Heller had no clue about RJ identity when he gave the interview on season 5, but as well that the show starts to fall short of logic. The last thing is Partridge dying with the words Tyger Tyger in his mouth, instead of "Get X (here be RJ true name". This is so lame, unoriginal, and not the only stupid behaviour seen on the show starting from mid season 5 (for ex the Lorelei episodes and PJ, the titular Mentalist, incapable to make her reveal RJ identity...).

So, the only satisfactory eplanation NOW is that RJ is one of the Kirkland brothers. Otherwise you can't explain season 5 scene with the wounded RJ disciple in the hospital. If Kirkland is so determined to track down RJ to even resort to torture, he would have had no point in just finishing him off instead of getting the name out of him. The real RJ, his twin, would have acted like this. Besides the "fearful symmetry" clue, as someone has already noted, perfectly fits with the "twin" (triplets also allowed...) contrivance.

Every writer, screenwriter, storyteller (and viewer) knows that when the talk goes about twins, you should expect something cool happening...
Hope you didn't cock it, Heller.
