In S01E02, sheriff McAllister first meets PJ.
PJ finds out that the killer they're looking for (in this particular episode) is abducting redhead girls in order to rape them.
He tells Van Pelt to go near the crime scene alone (but with a camera and a wire so the team can watch her) to attract the suspect.
First person to show up is not PJ's guess but McAllister ! He offers a ride to Van Pelt because the last events prooved that this area was "dangerous" and she kindly refuses (because she wants to catch the rapist and assumes that McAllister isn't him).
But then something very odd happens, the sheriff really insists on driving her home.. In such an intense, almost violent, way that rigsby runs towards McAllister to protect Van Pelt.
And later on PJ catches his original guess who turns out to be the killer.

It feels that this really strange moment where you could almost consider McAllister as a killer trying to attract his "prey" was forgotten.

So my theory is : McAllister is RJ and Van Pelt was supposed to be his victim in this episode.
He had no idea he was being filmed. You can really distinguish a mean look on his face.
You should check this episode out, because you can definitely see that McAllister is trying to abduct Van Pelt and that is some relevant evidence.

PS : Please excuse my poor english.

hi guys,

in a fresh spoiler i have read that the real RJ is one of the 7 suspects!!!!!!
in the promo of 6/7 there is 3 photo on the wall in the CBI office, possibly because the other two (gale bertram and reede smith) died in jane's house at the end of 6/6.
please consider that RJ is IN the 7.... therefore macallister seems to be the only one who has the tatto and still alive...

I really hope we'll get an explanation for the writing on the wall. A lot of people seem to think it's "he is marked". I don't think so. It seems very strange that a dying man would write that on the wall instead of just 'tattoo' for example. And anyway, how would he have seen it? Was Red John killing him in a sleeveless top? lol
 
The only reasonable explanation for me would be "he is marshal" which is something like a sheriff if I'm not wrong? He was obviously wearing his uniform and because the guy didn't know his name, he didn't know what else to write..

I think it's much more believable than "he is marked". That wouldn't be a big help, people can be marked in different ways.

CONTAINS SPOILERS about RJ meeting PJ!

 

 

 






I read in the TV Guide that PJ kills RJ in a park.  Remember the pigeon scene in the park after learning
of Sophie’s death?  Like it was some sort
of clue, as were the pigeons present at Partridge’s death and in the bell tower.  If RJ hates pigeons to the point of fear and
Jane figures this out, perhaps Jane meets RJ in a park --where there’s sure to
be pigeons-- to have an upper hand.

If McAllister is RJ, he's probably not using his given name. So, he most likely took the name McAllister.
McAllister means "son of Alistair," the Gaelic form of Alexander. What do the last 3 letters spell backwards? R-e-d. Of course, PJ's father's name is Alex. Perhaps RJ has a connection to Jane from the carnival?

I remember Heller once said he chose Patrick's name because it was a good Irish name. Would be interesting if he chose a Scottish one for RJ.

Ugh I am just going crazy with this show. I'm obsessed!

So the house that they are swarming in the S06E07 promo is in Roseland, California (you can see the police cars). Roseland is very close to Napa Valley geographically. Are they at Sheriff McAllister's house? Might be a stretch, as they may just be at another crime scene that they usually have week to week. Although, we've been told (by some of the actors and Heller himself) that the next few weeks will move at a very high-pace plot wise, and so I'm assuming the next episode will only have to do with RJ and the fallout from last week.

Additionally, in the promo, when Rigsby is talking to another agent telling him about RJ and the bomb, we can see (in the HD version) that the board has 3 suspect photos, Haffner, Stiles and McAllister. He looks to them in reference when explaining that RJ apparently brought the bomb to kill 'the suspects.' Since Smith and Bertram are not there, does that mean they are deceased? Also, the diagram on the board has the bomb explosion point marked down, it also has post-its where DNA was found (in 2 places-- maybe more, it was too blurry to see-- that coincide with where Jane had the 5 of them positioned in the room). Interesting to note.

One thing is certain... I spend A LOT of time thinking about this show. Oh boy. I am starting to worry that Heller's version of events to come won't be as fascinating or plausible as some of us have theorized. I really hope that's not the case. I am also expecting full explanations for all the clues that we have been given (for example, the 'he is mar'). Let's cross our fingers that Heller will blow our mind with the episodes to come!

 The Smile  BY WILLIAM BLAKE

There is a Smile of Love And there is a Smile of Deceit And there is a Smile of SmilesIn which these two Smiles meet 
And there is a Frown of Hate And there is a Frown of disdain And there is a Frown of FrownsWhich you strive to forget in vain 
For it sticks in the Hearts deep Core And it sticks in the deep Back bone And no Smile that ever was smild But only one Smile alone
That betwixt the Cradle & GraveIt only once Smild can be But when it once is Smild Theres an end to all Misery

poem fragment W. Blake

Among the Lambs, clothed in whiteShe walking with her Thomas in sweet delightI wept for joy like a dove I mourn
