THE THEORIES

The links below are to 2 theories which deduce and suggest using information from season 6 1. Who redjohn is2. Why he's about to kill Sherriff McCallister3. Why Patrick may already know who he is (Lisbon was way more keen in implying McCallister had a fear of heights, while Jane pretends to listen to humour her) www.whoisredjohn.com/See-a-theory-Red-John/6289www.whoisredjohn.com/See-a-theory-Red-John/6096

So last night I posted a theory about Bret Partridge and I can't believe I missed something so big if you go back to when Brett is describing a Red John murder scene he says that Red John draws the smiley face clockwise using three fingers and wearing a kitchen glove.  When Lisbon is knocked out That Red John uses two fingers and the smiley face is wrong then he gets spooked by the pigeons that's because it was Mcallister or one of them while Brett who is really Red John pretended to be dead you can check it out if you want but Red John would never change his method so now I know it's Brett Partridge and that it wasn't Red John painting blood on her face.  Also did anyone notice how nobody wanted to see Brett Partridges body or acted like they just lost one of their own he had worked with them since the beginning but it was never spoke of again like he disappeared that's because we are meant to forget about him it leaves nothing to question later since nobody looked over the body especially Patrick if Partridge is one of the Red John suspects you would think he would make sure he is really dead but nobody did anything no tears just another day even when a cop gets killed it's a little to convenient.

The link above is to a theory why RJ will kill Sherriff McCallister, thus symbolically proving he's RJ. My theories are pretty ridiculous, but I hope they entertain, haha.

Here is my speculative theory. As Sophie Miller records her notes on RJ vocally, and Patrick says  "acrophobia" is the fear of heights to enlighten the audience, wouldn't it be convenient if there was a phobia which sounds like acrophobia and Patrick mishears Sophie or pretends to... Sure agrophobia and agoraphobia fit, but they're hard to make a theory out of. What about Acaraphobia though, hmm? It is a fear of small crawlers, termites and  insects that bite.

Look at Partridge's behaviour in episode 1 of season 6 in the desert. As the scene goes on, the buzzing of the flies is more and more prominent, and Partridge looks more and more in discomfort. When Patrick comes closer and stares, Partridge looks scared/bothered. Is he scared/bothered by Patrick or the flies on their shoulders. Even Patrick notes that he's a very good actor afterwards. But what if Partridge really was only bothered by the flies, 

And the BS on top, for extra ridiculousness, (don't consider this part of the theory, its just a laugh), Partridge is fond of pigeons because they grab and gobble termites and other insects. 


----------------------------------------------------


Along with Brett Partridge's script + the amount of dramatic irony in there if you watch, thinking/knowing he's RJ, and him matching Bruno Heller's clues as well as Rosalynd Harker's descriptions, there are stacks of points to BP being RJ.

These are just a few examples; I am not making a Megatheory.

Script:

1. His first line is "Red John enters here."
2. In season 2, there is symmetry between Patrick scaring him, and his retaliation as Rj scares Patrick in the finale.

Dramatic Irony:

3. Season 6: "I've been at the Redjohn crime scenes since he began."
Val Ziskin (photographer), working with BP, later says "I've always wanted to work with one of the famous serial killers."

4, He calls Patrick, "amigo" in season 2 meeting, after killing Jared Renfrew in Mexico.

Hi everyone.
I re-watched the episode where that crazy Rebbeca  woman kills Bosco's team. When they are taking her away, the man coming towards her poisons her (as we know).
If this man is Red John, then it can only be Brett Partridge. They show him for a second from the back and he is tall and thin and has BROWN, short hair (definitely not white, grey, or bald, but dark brown hair).
Of course it could be someone who just works for Red John. However when this person is coming towards crazy Rebbeca, she has the happiest, most joyful face, like she is seeing God or something. (please watch it if you have time and you will know what I mean). This makes me think that it was RJ personally, who poisoned her. But if it really was him, then it can only be Partridge from the list. He is the only tall(ish), thin person there with brown hair.

Ok- let me first say that I do not really believe that the "lady" feeding the pigeons was Brett Partridge.

BUT, for those of you who do... This will be entertaining!

I said this after the first episode of this season that Brett Partridge is Red John he is a forensic specialist so he could make his death look real and I will list my other reasons.  First why did he say tyger tyger to Lisbon so far only people connected to Red john have said that.  Second he has been there since the first episode and his voice and other features match.  Third he is the only one besides Bret Stiles who hasn't really done suspicious stuff or associated with the other suspects.  What better way to throw Patrick off his game then to take himself off the list Bruno Heller said the list is real but he never said what rules can be broken with the list and faking his death would be perfect.  When the three suspects Bertram, Mcallister, and Reede are talking they said does he know I think they meant does he know Brett is alive maybe they do work for Red John.  I got a lot of people to disagree with me on this and I do think Mcallister is the only other one that makes a great suspect but I don't think Bruno Heller took us on this 8 season ride to reveal something so obvious so I'm going to stick to my theory that it is Brett Partridge and think about this he knew he was a good suspect from the start even without the list people compared his voice and the description of him so it would make sense that Bruno Heller would take him out the first episode so we would forget about him and focus so much on the others that we are blown away when we find out because we aren't even suspecting him anymore.  I know many will disagree but I won't change my mind and when it is revealed people can go back and see that it made sense. Also I really like everyone's theories on everyone it takes a lot of detailed thinking to come up with these theories I just hope you guys don't bash me too hard and see that it does make some sense that he would kill Red John off the list first episode he kept his word about the list but is still keeping us in the dark.  Thanks for reading my theory.

Lisbon is actually in league with red john that is why the nurse asked for a different name when she was in the hospital bed because she also has a different past and that's how red john new the names on the list and Bret partridge isn't really dead!
