LATEST THEORIES

Theory #10598 • By Sasquatch Seer
Show this theory

Bret Stiles does a freaky ceremony with 2 women who look similar.

1. The blonde one has blood poured over the shoulders and through the back.

2. The brunette has blood over her face.

Great Red Dragon

1. Patrick is in hospital. He has a bullet wound to the shoulder, and presumably injuries to the back if he set up the bomb himself. You don't face a bomb you're blowing up yourself. You do what you have to do, then run!

2. Brett Partridge is severely beaten up in the face.

it would be awesome if mentalist continued for a couple of more seasons with another mysterious villain. I like the idea someone posted about villains name blue bob. I dont know why but that idea made me laugh so hard thank you for that :D, i hope red john is either mashburn or bret partridge

I believe it is Haffner. The #1 reason is because Lorelei Martin said "Im surprised you did not become life long friends", she also talked about how similar they are. I would suspect that RJ is not overtly showing his true colors but there is one place that is almost impossible to hide and that is the heart. 

Haffner and Jayne are both in love with Lisbon. If RJ killed Partridge and spared Lisbon, the most likely reason is due to love. Also Lisbon was going to go out with Haffner and definitely has feelings for Jane. It is like Lisbon is attracted to a type, a type RJ and Jane are both. 

Also, I keep asking why not kill Jane and other than toying, it seems that RJ is at war with Tyger Tyger and want to kill all the members and is using Jane to help find them. Haffner has ties to the Barn and vizualize. It makes the most sense to me.

Guys, that IMDB list is a piece of crap! It might still have been OK yesterday with Partridge, but since then it's been a joke.

For example there is a name there in my language that means something very very rude and it's basically taking the piss out of the list. (I didn't write it, lol). It looks like nobody there cares who suggests the names for the list and they just randomly put names on.

You can find photos from 6x07 (Great Red Dragon) below and they contain spoiler:

Especially the last photo is interesting:

***SPOILER***

Jane is in the hospital so three things comes to my mind:
1- It wasn't Jane who exploded his house and he had a narrow escape.
2- One of the suspects shot Jane but he managed to escape.
3. For an unknown reason, Jane shot himself not to be seen as a suspect.

I would like to say something before we get carried away with the Walter Mashburn credit as red john I don't know if anyone watched this season of trueblood but the big mystery was who was a vampire named warlow and it was listed on imdb as someone else the whole time until after we found out who warlow really was so if they want it to trick us they can.

The only one PJ really wanted to be at the house when he gathered his list of suspects was Mr.Stiles, cause he is the only one who knows who RJ is, PJ wanted to se his reaction when he said

One of you is RJ.

Bret Stiles just laughed like

You don't know anything, you really don't have a clue , do you ?

PJ always says that body language gives you away if you are lying or hiding something, so I really dont think any in the room is RJ, but I can be wrong and most likely I am.

I had my money on Partridge, and Mr. Stiles being his dad, but after joining this forum and read all the theories about other suspect I find them plausible as well , so I'm really in the dark, now I just look forward to the big reveal, and hope we get the best confrontation we all deserve, regardless who play the part as RJ.
