(Posting from another account since it won't seem to let me submit a new theory after my original one - is this a bug?)

In a previous theory about the 6x2 pigeon lady, I believe someone mentioned there were 7 pigeons and one flew away.

I
didn't rewatch 6x2 but I made sure to pay close attention to the birds
in 6x3. Jane is feeding the swans, and there are 3 close ups. The first
is when he arrives at the crime scene. They show 7 swans. The second is
when he returns to the crime scene, and they show 7 swans again. But a
few seconds after that, they show 6 swans swimming together. Perhaps this symbolizes that Partridge is dead, so 6 suspects left.

But
in the last scene with McAllister in 6x3, a lone bird flies out of
nowhere and hits him in the face. "Didn't see that coming." If Partridge
is indeed RJ, the seven swans to six symbolizes his "death", but his
return at the end is foreshadowed by the one bird that everyone thought
was gone hitting you in the face, the bird that no one will see coming.

I
also was staring at McAllister's hands as he pulled Jane up on the
roof. No ring, people. (Remember the RJ teacup scene where he had a ring
on his left hand.) And to those who are saying that McAllister's pigeon
phobia suggests he is RJ...I think RJ probably loves pigeons. The
pigeons were in the Partridge house the entire time RJ was hiding out
there. RJ wasn't scared off by the pigeons; he never intended to kill
Lisbon to begin with; he just wanted to send her back to Jane with his
mark on her.

I see so many parallels with Red Dragon now (refer
to my previous post on Partridge). New one: Jane's description of RJ
describes a slight speech impediment. In Red Dragon, someone addresses
the serial killer thus:


"I can hear that you've had...







some kind of soft palate repair.







But I understand you fine

because you speak very well" (implying she was expecting a speech impediment).

Partridge is coming back, I can almost smell it.

Who's being played for fools? The producers of this show are one step ahead of us, folks. Pigeon-phobia my foot.

Sherif Tom McAllister is a dude!

Heller would be reading all these theories and will be laughing at us... :)

Easiest way to find Redjohn ! (just in no time)

we can find Redjohn by recording the voice of seven suspects, and play it for the blind girl (Rosalind Harker) ... she could easily find out ! 
she spend a lot of time with Redjohn(Roy Tagliaferro) ...Thats It :D

I also believe that BP is still alive. An that are the clues from Bruno Heller that makes me really sure that Partridge is RJ:
- Bruno said that RJ 'likes the Cold'
BP is a forensic analytic, he is working with dead, cold, bodies
- Episode 1/6 is called ' the dessert rose'
A dessert rose is never really dead, it can grow again and again combined with water.... (Without Water its just sleeping).

Just my two cents.

There's been so much talk about RJ being a sum of 7 people but in my opinion this would be a disappointing way for closure to Jane as well to us fans.

I guess i would have been ok with this theory of 7, had RJ begun to take form at the same time Jane started consulting  for the CBI, as a counterweight to his brilliance in solving all those countless crimes. But let us not forget the RJ pre existed way before Jane jointed the CBI, even before his family got murdered by RJ. So what are we really suggesting here ? That 7 people from with different demografics, out of the sudden decided to come together and form a serial killer named RJ?? And where did they meet? They frequented at the same bar?At fantasy football?In sociopaths anomymus support group?

And for the sake of the argument lets say that indeed they got together and RJ came to life.
In a group of people who believe in the same cause, a cult or something, there is always a leader, a figure of authority that came up with the idea, who organises, schemes and delegates...So only this person is RJ and the other 6 people are just his sidekicks, his errand boys,,,,

And what about ep07 of current season and its title "The Great Red Dragon"? But really, do you think that Mr Heller would reveal something so important like RJ's ID in an episode title ? Remember what is the title of ep08..Red John...Come on now, RJ should be one person..,

I am not saying the the all the suspects do not play a role . They do play an important one. I trully believe that they all know who RJ is. And RJ holds each of them with something and uses it as leverage into making them do things for him.
For instance the voice we hear might be one person, Rosalind met another, Lorelai o third one, the psychiatrist another and so on and on...
But behind all this there is only one person pulling the strings, one RJ.

I cannot say with certainty who from the 7 is RJ. For a long time i thought it was Partrigde but now i am not so sure. But I strongly believe it is one person otherwise, I would be extremely disapponted by this story's end.

Thank you for bearing with me....

I'm just connecting other theories, so will skip most of the math. Brett Stiles is more powerful than RJ, is not RJ, but is connnected to RJ. My guess would be he is RJ's father. And knows it. That leaves the question did RJ learn from him or is he merely sadly using power to protect his homicidal son? The former seems too predictable. Mr. Stiles is using Haffner, and unknown others, to protect his son. BP. So BP is either not dead after all or Stiles kiiled his own son him-self.

Bertram, McAllister, and Smith are in cahoots, But on something else. Classic shady California land-deals. Fodder for another season.
