look at the pictures in the comments please, who's that little girl

It's the Sheriff ... and he's the perfect Red John ...

The show has two gears ... It has a lighthearted Agatha Christie mystery of the week side to it ... but it accelerates closer to reality when the Red John case becomes the focus ...

Successful serial killers in real life are invisible nobodies .... John Wayne Gacy was construction worker ... Ted Bundy a small time lawyer ... The Green River Killer was a factory worker ... They killed for years because they didn't stand out ... They blended into the background and nobody gave them a thought ... Not only as serial killers ... Nobody gave them a thought in any way ...

For Red John to be successful he needed to be anonymous ... ( A small town Sheriff ) ... but then he was partially revealed by Janes list of seven ...

Maybe he has found a way to become anonymous again ...

He "kills" himself and  sets up another man to be Red John ( Bertram ) ... this fake RJ needs to disappear so he gives him some money and a passport ... and then he becomes invisible again ...

From the latest promo we saw a glimpse of someone resembles Tom McAllister....Further, when Bertram went to locker room to 'take care of some business' he even used the name 'Thomas' , it's either a sign from Heller or he was taking RJ's belongings...Either way, it's McAllister people !!!

Mercy, really? Does the Red John we all (soon will) know and love really looks like someone who would ask for mercy?

Well I have something to say...I was a Partridge fan,I still was until yesterday,he is dead in the corps and from the promo we see a balding looking man appearing to be Red John,also the voice nothing like Partridge. So,I rest my case...Partridge is not Red John 

From the promo it is obviously Thomas McAllister.
