LATEST THEORIES

If you think that any idiot can put any information on IMDb. Try to go there now and put the information that BP is RJ. I doubt he can. IMDb fucked up everything. RD is Mashburn. Stop whining.

In S06E06, we here a gunshot...we also here a voice..."No..wait.."
What I could infer is: It is very unlikely that one of the suspects knew that in the next moment patrick is going to shoot and hence he yelled "No...wait..", because patrick had the gun pointed to them all the time...

Now, I could think of the following possibilities:

1. Patrick shoots something else other than suspects...which is weird and hence one of the suspects yelled ..."No ...wait.."

2. Definately, as we hear a gunshot which was from a shotgun....it was patrick that shoots and no one else...

Please comment if I am wrong..or if there is any other possibility...

In my previous theory I chose Thomas because of the telephone conversation between him and PJ at episode 3 of season 6. He said "Hello Patrick" with the exact same manner and a somewhat lower voice like the Red John phonecall in episode 1.  After the phonecall he sneaked upon PJ in the woods, PJ said "I didn't hear you coming.." Thomas replied with" I love to hunt things with faces". 
Sounds like the m.o of Red John, everytime he leaves behind a face and the last time he painted the face on Teresa Lisbon face.

What I liked the most was in episode 6 when PJ brought all the suspects together, he asked everyone to lower their sleeves. The only one who got quite scared was Thomas. He immediately reacted with: "Patrick it's not what you think." Not because he is anxious about Patrick but more that he is going to lose his friend PJ now. Maybe Thomas somehow got into the TygerTyger group for resources.

Could be nothing, but did anyone else notice at the end of Fire and Brimstone when the suspects show their arms for that tattoo, and Ray Haffner draws his finger across his shoulder to show that he didn't have the three dots. But how did he know they were in a horizontal line and followed in sequence like that?

Honestly had him pegged for Red John.....until he 'died'.

If anyone is going to come back from the dead to be Red John - I hope it's him.

A perfect fit.

Partridge is a silly ghoul, a 'Scream 5' type bad guy - NOT, a charismatic and calculating killer. What woman would 'die' and sacrifice everything for him?

So if anyone is being brought back to life, let it be Luther.

Still hoping for Mashburn, simply because he OWNS all the Red John characteristics.

Partridge would be such a let down and leave me asking 'how such a little nerd managed to control so many people'.

ok guys, first of all, kudos to heller for creatng such a marvel

and to baker for such a lively and impeccable portrayal of jane. now to

business here.

   so what do you think PJ is? a wannabee kid

detective who would wait for the clues in a treasure hunt to fetch the

biggest motive of his life? and what would yhe creator of the show

think? they make sure his plan is revealed only in teh end of even the

pettiest of his tricks and this is the magnum opus of his life.....and 4

people other than him know it.....wow......i dont buy it and it makes

for a boring chase as well i think. 
also, you think rj being rj, is still going to be lured by pj into all these silly tricks..like showing his 3 dots to a person right when the heat is on and that person has had a contact with cbi..and do you think pj thinks so lowly of rj tht he will commit such rookie mistakes which btw he dint commit when he was a rookie

      so jane is playing the big strategy in this masterful chess game to trap the king..


the biggest move he has made imo to date is the list of fake rj suspects,

not the one he gave to kirkland (or planted) but the one he showed to

lisbon......i think he requested lorelei (mybe) to shoot that vide tape for him

when they were together and he put those 7 names there just to confuse

everyone around him..and he promptly destroyed the dvd which is

suspicious...so i think he is just confusing everyone else and even rj

if he is too active ion bugging his space..and eventually he would say

this is the man i knew from before was rj and just wanted to trap him as

he was so clever......and my vote is on Virgil Minneli..


1-  minelli has been brought twice in the show after resigning and both the times they meant something (at least the santa episode). why bring a busy artist to work when thr cud have been 10 ways pj cud have got that list..and in tht episode minelli said and i quote "thanks for opening my eyes to some ugly truths i had been avoiding like being  fish killer".....obviously he needed to resume killing people as rj......much with the vacations.....also, "you're nuts my freind".

2- minelli went on vacation just before the mexico killing. aybe then it was a red herring as it was the first season but en the writers knew they'd get more seasons they'd say "why not use that bit when its faded from memory'

3-  they shook hands in episode 100 flashback.

4-  he is well connected and powerful and has a charismatic personality and is also a renowned actor. now comeone u dnt want rj to be played by some dummy actor..

5-  once you warm up to this theory, u'd read mcuh between the minelli lines..
