Bet...everyone will watch every red john episode once again, after s06e08.... :')

Brett partridge is Red John, each one of the 7 suspects all have clues pointing to why they could be red john, i think the death of "Brett Partridge" is just to make us take our eyes of the prize, i think out of the 7 there are more clues pointing to him then any of the other 6 suspects. also the Pigeons seem to be some sort of clue as somebody mentioned, both In episode 1 and 2 of season 6 also a partridge is a bird. perhaps thats the clue?. just my thoughts my money is on partridge if not the only other person i could see being red john would be ray heffner. ps leave your comment on my site if you want to discuss theorys on fastwap.net look foward to episode 3

It's very much possible because only that explains why PJ was telling Lisbon about searching for a file in his psychologist's house when he knew before hand that she only records and he already has that record. It was just to confirm his (PJ) doubt that the woman was spying them so that it would send a wrong signal to RJ and lead him in the wrong way. PJ is in the driver's seat by doing that. He knew RJ or an accomplice would come to spy on him and Lisbon after he told Bertram (very likely to be an accomplice) that he has made progress.
So either Partridge is RJ or an accomplice but I'm sure he's alive. That explains only one GPS tracker point in that address. I'm suspecting that Bertram would have ordered his men to silently clean up Partridge out of that place into hiding! Also my hunch on how in the first episode itself PJ meets Partridge! Very dramatic indeed. So IMO, it could be him as RJ or RJ's right hand.

My other doubts are on Walter Mashburn based on others' theory I read here. Very very pCokmemts?

Comments?

Hats off to whomever realized the Pidgin "lady" is Brett Partridge. I checked the video several times in slow motion and that's definitely a man In loose, frumpy clothing. He writs, hands and shoe size are very large for a woman. The writs look slightly abraded from the zip ties and if you compare the woman's facial profile to Brett's, you will notice they match with the elongated facial structure, pronounced nose. Also, her 'natural' hair color matches Brett's with RED highlights in the wig.

Red John was baited to come out of hiding to listen to what Lisbon/Jane had to say because Jane dropped a hint about knowing something Red John didn't while in Bertram's office.

He's not afraid of birds. The dead psychologist picked up on his growing fear of Jane discovering him. That's the real reason he visited her and what was immediately on his mind.

So, Its kinda weird but, when they had this discussion about the name 'redbird' given to the drone in the last episode, I think they're trying to show us something about a 'bird'. Don't you?

Why the name REDbird?
Why the pidgeons showed at the end?

I'm pretty sure this is something relevant, and Partridge is behind all this.

The "woman" who is feeding the pidgeons in Episode 02 Season 6 is really Brett Partridge!! Great work guys! :o)))

This post is an expansion of my prior theory #5409. It explains why the other six names are on the list and why they act so shifty. It also explains why Red John works alone, even though it often seems otherwise.

Red John works alone but has an uncanny expertise in many things including forensics, servailence , FBI, etc. The other six suspects are collectively documented experts in these areas. This is no coincidence. They are being extorted by Red John to help in his exploits. Red John specifically picked each one of them to use as tools in his nefarious 'performances'.

Red John had damaging or embarrassing secrets on each of the other six, most likely through his link to Visualize. Red John contacted each of the other suspects anonymously through email perhaps and requested a 'favor' from them in exchange for not disclosing their secrets. The initial favors were seemingly benign enough where the six suspects chose to comply in order to protect themselves.

Each suspect eventually became aware who they had helped when Red John pulled off another one of his murders...At this point, they know they helped Red John, but have no idea who he is or even how to contact him. Moving forward, they have no choice but to continue helping him because he can blackmail them and end their careers with scandal. As time passes, some of the six suspects come in contact with each other while watching the Red John investigations unfold.

I think what we saw in season 6 episode 2 was a 'Red John Support Group'. -These guys have figured out at the others are involved and have reached out to share information in an attempt to bring Red John down. I don't think any of them know who he is, if they did, they would probably kill him themselves.

Bertram desperately wants to know the latest developments on the Red John case to pass them to Red John and keep him happy, but he is probably privately hoping Jane catches him in a manner where Bertram's 'secret' doesn't get out.

These six suspects have conflicted feelings about Jane because they would love for him to catch or kill Red John, but they don't want their secrets to be revealed when that happens. Also, there is probably some resentment towards Jane because many of the illegal things they are forced to do are to taunt Jane or obscure his investigation, so they also feel like Jane is hunting them as well as Red John. Tricky, no?

There are lesser characters who are willing fans or followers of Red John. Notice how their value to him is very limited to having 'hands' to carry out more visible dirty work. These guys always die in the end. RedJohn sacrifices his pawns to protect his prized pieces who can further provide him forced assistance or information. These lesser characters are societal outcasts that probably meet Red John through chat rooms or fan sites and he eventually selects the ones who will be blindingly loyal after providing them something they desperately want.....
