Just a few observations about McAllister.

Noticed in "Wedding in Red" how there were moments when his voice would go a little high pitched (e.g., when he said "corpse" and "hunt").  Remember Patrick said he had a speech impediment of which he was ashamed.  Whoever RJ is changes their voice when in public, but you will hear hints of "THE RJ voice" in McAllister if you listen.

Did find it interesting that when he entered the church he asked, "what's cooking" (Sophie Miller had been murdered in the previous episode).  Others have noted his keen sense of smell (like RJ in 'Strawberries and Cream').  There's always some mention of "game" --- and then in the upcoming episode RJ will declare, "Game's Over and I Won!"  I don't think for one minute that he really lost "rock, paper, scissors" --- it took just as much smarts to get it "wrong" each time with PJ.

I mentioned this a while back, but in "Wedding in Red" there are birds chirping in the church when McAllister didn't want to go up the ladder and also when he didn't look at the Bella Vista.  In a recent article teasing about the upcoming episode, we're told that we should have paid attention to the clues.  And we all agree by now that pigeons have been of utmost importance, exactly how, not sure.  As most of us noted yesterday, there is a live pigeon on the Mary statue in the church.  Are they triggers for RJ?  Bad memories?  Does "A Brace of Partridge" factor in?  (BTW: anyone have the "interpretation" for what the painting means?)

I still feel like RJ met PJ in his younger years.  We'll soon find out!

Just wanted to point out that no one seems to talking about the car that sped away from Jane's house right after the explosion.  There was a car speeding away that almost wrecked into Lisbon.  Whoever is driving that car has got to be red john.  I personally believe it has to be Sheriff McAllister since he was right beside Bertram and Smith( the only two that survived the blast).    I can also see it being Partridge.  the first thing partridge says in season 1 episode 1 is "red john enters here".
Also Sheriff McAllister shows up in the second episode so they are my two guesses.

So I would like to propose an idea entitled The Severed Foot Theory

As Lisbon enters Jane's demolished house, she waves her flashlight around and comes upon a severed foot.  I postulate the foot was NOT blown off by the explosion, but rather a shotgun blast... the same shotgun blast we hear prior to the bomb.  

Here's what happened.  One of the suspects grabs the shotgun out of Jane's hands.  He's aiming it at Jane, who panics saying, "No! WAIT!"

And then the strangest thing happens.  The suspect shoots off his own foot!  Jane is perplexed for a moment, and then the bomb explodes.  Due to head trauma, he forgets that last split second.

So why was the foot blown off?  Because the suspect wanted the forensics team to find it.  That way they would believe him to be dead.  This would also imply the suspect knew about the bomb, and therefore would probably be Red John!  

My theory eliminates Bertram and Smith because they have both of their feet.  So it has to be one of the supposed dead suspects: McAllister, Haffner or Stiles. 

From what Reede Smith tells us, someone within the Blake Association wanted Bosco's secretary dead.  Therefore, I put my money on McAllister, since he's got the tattoo.

Now I don't know whether we should consider this a clue, but did anyone else notice the boxes in the storage-room where Bertram goes in 6.07? 

In two different scenes you can see boxes saying "Shand Creek" and "Seven Graces", Valley winery/cafe, both addressed in Napa Valley. 

And if you recall, both of these places were featured in episodes that had Sheriff McAllister in them. And not to mention the wine bottles in the room and Bertram's id named to a "Thomas". 

What are your thoughts about this?

Since day one when the list was revealed I
was in the Bertram camp..... but after viewing this weeks episode, I have to
admit i might be changing my vote.  I mean it still could be bertram and I
would be happy if it was, but it all seems to obvious to be him.  The way
things are playing out I think he is a top guy in TT but not red john.



Red John is indeed McAllister, for a few reasons.

 - he has been there since the beginning which would make sense.

-  faking his death and killing jane would be the ultimate victory

-  red john brought the bomb into the house on his person,  probably
in his Sheriffs hat...  that is why stiles and haffner were killed... they
were closest to it. It would easy to bring in a body and fake DNA records for a
guy like red john.

- Jane calls out Bertram in the media because he really thinks he is red john,
or more likely, he gets the CBI shut down and the FBI chasing a red herring so
he can take out red john one on one.

- watch the promo, the guy going through the window, they guy jane chases
through the cemetery, the guy walking down the church aisle, the comparision of
hands photo.. all point to McAllister

- Jane is in the church waiting for Red john...  the look on his face
is  because he knows the end is coming and what he has to do.



from what we know through interviews and the promo.... next weeks episode could play out like this.... it
starts in the church, follows him through the graveyeard and eventually meets
up in a park where the end will occur... and if it isn't Bertram somewhere in
between all this he meets up with Jane and their story is concluded.....  




anyway just some thoughts.... more importantly I hope we get answers to the
many questions that  been created through the years....

It's HIM. Shitty CBS has just fucked up the RJ's true identity with their promo.

This will probably be my last "not-a-theory" in this website, as the BIG REVEAL approaches there is not much left to say. I just want to make a few comments about theories i've been reading here, so... 


About the explosion: Even the writers said that the bomb took out a lot of suspects, we even see a foot on the ground, its very unlikely that everyone survived the blast (as some people believe), one of the writers even said "That is not a rubber foot, there is dead people in the room". I guess the bomb was in McAllistair's hat, in the couch, that could have blow the hell pieces out of Haffner and Stiles. 


:: QUESTION: What about the shot and the car leaving Jane's house when Lisbon arrives? Who was in the car? 


About RJ voice at Red John's Promo: People who are saying that its Bob Kirkland's voice around 0:19 promo, ITS NOT, cmon, that is not the voice of any suspects on the list (thats weird, since RJ is probably one of them), that we will have to wait and see, also, Bob Kirkland was shot SIX TIMES in the back, he is the ONLY ONE we actually see dying.

Brett Partridge: Yes, i was one of the people who wanted Partridge to be Red John, he would be an amazing Red John, Plotnick's performance is outstanding, but, we also see him dying and Cho checked his body (Ok, he did not look the face, but imagina how STUPID would be if RJ is Partridge and Cho having to say "Damn, i should have checked his face  -_-" ), so, sadly, i guess Partridge is really dead.

Bertram: I dont think he is Red John, at this point its too obvious and as one of the writers said "in the Mentalist there is always another twist", he is most likely the head of Blake Association, but no "the man" himself.

At the promo all indicates to McAllister, even Nick Nordella who is portraying a Young Man (possibly Young RJ) is the spitting imagine of a younger Xander (McAllister), but if they foolish put RJ at the promo, that was a bad mistake ;( took out all the mystery. But still, that was not McAllister's voice as well.

Only to conclude i want to say that i hope everyone enjoy the end of RJ saga, its been amazing so far and i really enjoyed discussing so many theorys with everyone here for so many time.

So.. Sunday its the day!! Bring it on! Let's finally see the true face of our (mine) favorite serial killer in all times.
