THE THEORIES

Kira Tinsley paints a tattoo vertically

Ray Haffner barely pulls his sleeve down.

The patch of skin removed from Partridge or whoever's body, is longer vertically than it is horizontally.

 
If Patrick wanted to kill Haffner, he would have done so at his house. I suspect there's a bigger plan to lure out Partridge going on.

- gale bertram is not red john. patrick wants RJ for himslef, he would
never give his true identity to the press. it was just a distraction,
part of a plan really.

- what's the story behind that gunshot
before the explosion? why it wasn't explained? i think it's essential
for closing in on RJ, and Patrick must remember it and know something,
but why he didn't share it with Lisbon and others?

- sheriff must
have survived the blast. if patrick, gale and reede survived, who all
were at the same side of the room (same as sheriff), away from other 2,
then sheriff would have survived it as well. So the bomb must have been
planted somewhere around haffner and stiles. i think it was hidden
inside sheriff's hat (there's no other way to bring the bomb really) and
he left the hat on the couch. But, does that make him RJ?

- in
promo for Red John episode we see a lot of scenes with a character that
looks like sheriff, but would they really give red john that easily? in a
promo? even though i like sheriff as a red john, i wasn't expecting
they would reveal rj to us in a promo. it's too easy which makes me now
kinda doubt it is him.

- this episode ended in church (i think
there's a reason patrick went there) and from promo we see the next ep
continues in church with a possibly sheriff (rj?) walking in and saying
something like ''game over''. I don't believe we will know who is red
john already in beginning of next episode, somewhere in middle yes, but
not at the beginning. What if that really was sheriff in church and he
was holding the phone which from real RJ was talking through?

-
brett partridge. there's a huge mystery with him atm. why did RJ kill
him? it is still not answered! if that was really his body at the
morgue, why is his skin from shoulder removed and who did that? did he
even have a tattoo? if he was in TT, why would RJ (who's also part of
TT, according to Reede) killed him then? at that point no1 even knew
about TT, so he wasn't danger to the organization or RJ and wasn't
needed to be killed.

- when it was found out reede and gale are
in TT collective, why only reede was ordered to get killed and not gale
too? is gale their leader then? reede said it's called the blake
association, because some1 is a big fan of blake and we saw back in
season 3 gale recited some other blake's poem. it appears to me gale is
leader and what is rj to them then, just a member or?

who can be rj then?
1.
sheriff - i like him the most of all 7 suspects and i want it to be
him. but, if he's rj and he is the one in promo we see, i'd be
disappointed i found it out in a promo and not in a episode. THAT WOULD
SUCK HARD. but since he's alive he's top option.
2. brett partridge -
there are too many questions around him and his apparent death and so
far we didn't get any answer to that. just because we didn't learn
anything about it i gotta give him some chance, but would he need cbi
credentials to enter cbi building to kill rebecca? hmm...but look at
this, if he is RJ, and faked his death and would want his identification
to remain secret, wouldn't you as well remove some1's skin from
shoulder from your fake body so nobody would ever know were you in TT
organization or not.
3. ??? who else? I believe hafffner and stiles
are really dead dead, there had to be some casualties at that bomb
explosion, no question about it. and bob kirkland's evil twin brother is
biggest shit i read here, i give more chance to reede.

Guys I found one thing. It has something to do with episode 7, the forensic guy who helps Cho to check Partridge's shoulder. Please don't look at who I accuse, just read.

I was watching episode 1 from season 4. Patrick is in jail, after he has killed Timothy Carter.
Patrick tells everybody that Timothy had a gun in the newspaper. Also, according to Patrick, and we know it's true, he had a mobile phone where he was called several times by Craig O'Laughlin. 
The police never found the gun and the mobile phone.

At 16:20 Cho and Rigsby are analising the video records, they see Patrick shooting Carter, then the police arrest Patrick.
But the important thing is that we see a waitress, a police man (who arrested patrick) and a forensic guy going next to the body of Carter, in that order. One of those three stole the gun from the scene and replaced the mobile phone with another one. Now, I was looking at the forensic guy, and I immediately recognized him! It's the same guy who helps Cho at the morgue in The Great Red Dragon.
Then I checked on IMDb, and I was right, it's the same character, played by the same actor" Faran Fonté". 
Here's the pic of the forensic guy on the scene http://i.imgur.com/LyvINTP.jpg

It's a huge possibility that the forensic guy works for Red John. He removed the evidence of Timothy Carter being  Red John (The real Red John wanted Patrick to think he was actually RJ and then he just made everybody think he killed an innocent). Also, he was there when CBI wanted to see Partridge's body. Why?
Is it a coincidence? I think not. But there's nothing else I can add. I just thought it was useful to share what I found.

In my previous theory I posted the main spoilers in the episode "Red John." It is very hard for me to actually PROVE that these spoilers are real.

www.whoisredjohn.com/See-a-theory-Red-John/13340

So what I'm going to do now is write something, to prove as early on in the episode, that everything I wrote is true. It's impossible for me to actually convince a person before an episode that these spoilers are real. Even if I gave you the full transcript of the episode, which I obviously do not have, the actual episode is quite complicated in that it ties up an assortment of loose ends, so its not very simple to communicate.

At the very start of the episode: Lorelei Martins is the first person who enters the church.

Ok. I get how absolutely unbelievable this is. I would never have believed it myself. But as SOON as you see it, you'll know I wasn't lying.

Just want to share something I saw in the next sunday's episode promo.

Please watch it here: (   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z77P7ebT0QI   )

What I noticed: If you pause the video about the 20 seconds, when RJ says "....is over and I won", you can see that he moves his hand. That hand has a ring on it.

After that, in the promo Jane replies, "this is not a game", if you pause when Jane shoots, you can see RJ lifting his left hand again. That hand DOES NOT have a ring on it.

If you cannot stop at the exact moments, I made a picture so everyone can see that.

Here's the link: https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/1470291_10202827578876256_914275098_n.jpg

So this means, that probably Jane will meet with more than 1 person in the church. Red John might have a ring or not.
So they might make a editing on the video and audio. They might have changed the audio for the promo to fit other part of the video. So there's not actually the sequence, do you know what I mean? Probably they want to direct us to think that RJ is the bald guy that appears in the church.

But I think RJ is not bald, actually Rosalind Harker said that RJ has hair.

So my conclusion: I think that the guy that is bald going in the Church might be Bertram (looks like him), or McAllister, or Sean Marlow (the psychic) that talks with RJ. And actually the ring that we see in the picture is really alike to Marlow's ring in this video that someone already shared:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8COaSZHveg



My other conclusion. From all the suspects, the only one without a ring, is Brett Partridge if I'm not wrong. So Brett might still alive after all, and might be him lifting his hand when Patrick shoots (no ring).



I would love to see Brett Partridge as Red John, or CBI Ron. I think CBI Ron must have something to do with RJ.

Also I think there's a possibility to be Michael Kirkland. I don't know.. Just wanted to share some evidence about that ring stuff.

I hope we all get what we are expecting in next sunday's episode. To be surprised!

Have a nice week!
