THE THEORIES

RJ's blind EX girlfriend said in season 4 that rj is not taller than 6 feet 
So, it just can be 3 out of the seven suspects:
-Brett Partridge
-Bret Stiles
-Gale Bertram (not sure)
AND: The list of the seven suspects is not a fake. Bruno Heller himself said so.

Sorry for my bad english....:c

[wiki-quote]Self-realization
is a maturing of the ego or personality to accept its own evanescence and thus
allow space for the true Self to reveal itself[/wiki-quote]


 



The whole
RJ phenomenon is surrounded by Visualize, since he is the perfect example of
someone who found his true self and lives by it. Since RJ obviously still is a
Visualize member he's being aided and protected by the cult. Bret Stiles and RJ
might even have a master/apprentice relationship, with Brett Stiles being the
master and RJ the apprentice. Brett
Partridge seems to fit the role of RJ perfectly. His posture and voice
resembles RJ 's appearance in the season two finale `Red Sky in the Morning`.
Brett has a job that feeds his obsession and after hours he gives in to his
true self.

 


The thing
is... 5 out of the 7 suspects (sorry hardly any info on the Sheriff and Reed
Smith) all individually have some of the ingredients of the RJ soup, but none
of them have the complete set. The Bret/Brett combo tastes like great RJ soup
to me.

 



And on a
side note:

 


Kirkland
was able to figure out the 7 potential suspects on PJ lists (after copying all
the info in Jane's room) and fed the information to Brett Stiles or RJ himself.

 

Kirkland
question for the accomplice (before he kills him) 'Do you remember my face?' is
possibly to verify if he recognises him a as fellow Visualize member. If he
would have answered by saying "Yes" then Kirkland would probably have
said something like "Then you know what needs to be done.".

 



RJ was able
to kill Jane's happy memory, because he knew about this dream. This information
could have been retrieved in possibly two ways: 1. During Jane's dark times in
the asylum, where the shrink possible performed some regression therapy on Jane
with `the happy childhood moment` being the cliché question. The info could be
passed to Visualize in many ways. Accomplices inside the asylum or by Ray
Haffner being the expert in wiretaps and creative surveillance techniques... Or
2. During Jane's time at the Visualize centre where he fell `asleep` and
meanwhile was being robbed of his memories. 



One thing
I'm 100% certain of..... I can't wait for season 6 to start! ;)

Heler said: PJ is not RJ. RJ is one of the list. Bertram and Kirkland are connected to RJ somehow, but neither of them are RJ. In one ep, Krikland asked Lennon if he remembers him, and then he kills him. This is too obvious and too simple, he cant be RJ. RJ would probably sent someone to kill Lennon (like Kirkland). I mean, kill a man in a hospital ? Isn't it a little too risky for RJ to do it himself ?
Krikland and Bertram had a little odd conversation, so we can tell for sure that both of them are connected to RJ. Now, i think B. Heller wouldn't show us the "puppeting" of RJ. If Bertram really is RJ, B. Heller wouldn't let us suspect him so easy (The conversation with Kirkland, etc).

Reede Smith and Thomas McAllister - deep down, we all know it's not them. : )

Ray Haffner: A member of Visualize. RJ is a really smart man. I don't think he would fall for that sh*t Visualize (new religion and stuff). But, he could use Visualize as a mask, hiding place etc. Even so, he is not a serial killer model. Also, he is too tall :D

Brett Stilles is just too old. But, he is a real mistery in the whole series. Always he shows up in an episode, something strange happens. 

Brett Partridge is just the guy for a cold blooded serial killer. He has that mysterious something in himself. I think he's the one. But it definitely has something to do with Brett Stilles.
BRETT stilles & BRETT partridge :D

Okay, so first I thought PJ was still in the institution and the whole series spun out of his memory
as a way for him to deal w/ the murder of his family. Hence, the "mental-ist" Maybe RJ even worked there.
Now I think it might be too derivative. Also pretty sure that RJ isn't Jane. Nor Teresa. Her religious values are too real and established as a foil for PJ. Personally, I really like Teresa and yes, I'd like
to see PJ fall in love again, but I don't see him w/Teresa. He loves her like family, not romantically.(Sorry!) He was half in love w/ Lorelei, which makes more sense to me. interesting to see LM's role next season. she will definitely help PJ. I also think Kirkland will team up w/ PJ. My guess is he's a victim of RJ and suspects PJ. Makes his line
"I know who you are" make total sense. He will realize its not PJ and they'll work together. From the list, only BP makes sense to me. His persona could hide his psychopathy and the actor could reveal the crazy once he's been caught. i can see episodes of cat and mouse, questioning, mind games. PJ won't kill him (done it, didn't work) but someone else will...Teresa? Kirkland? Still, I think the list isn't genuine, so...I don't think we are limited to this suspect pool. I really love the idea someone floated that one of the
central women is the little girl PJ conned and I think Sean Barlow will play I role in the RJ
reveal. Finally, "he is man"...probably "he is many"...the cult, the brainwashing, the California setting...all feels a bit Manson family inspired (or maybe that's just me ). Love the site!

Why would Lorelei tell RJ that she told PJ that RJ and PJ shook hands , i mean  Lorelei hates RJ now , because RJ raped and killed her sister,and in the RJ video RJ said "Lorelei told me what she told you about shaking my hand" , because he wants to cover on who ever told him which is Lisbon , because Lisbon is the only one who knows that Lorelei told PJ that  RJ and PJ shook hands .

I think Brett Partridge is Rj. It has been said over and over again in the show that a psycopathic killer likes to be involved in a murder investigation he himself committed (ex: SJK). In every RJ killing BP has been there or thereabouts and he likes to explain to PJ his theories (hence the involvement). I think he likes to taunt PJ by misleading him to see if PJ can see through his tricks.
