As people before have stated, Bruno Heller has said that the scene where Lisbon was abducted, was extremely important. In all three episodes, there were pigeons present or shown on camera. I think this is the fear that Red John has instead of heights. It's the fear of pigeons. In the last episode, McAllister freaked out when a bird came near him in the attic of the church. There were pigeons when Lisbon opened the door where she was taken. I think he did the killing of Brett along with impersonating a patient for Jane's therapist. Although, I don't think that Red John is a single person. The scene in episode two, where the three men were chatting in Bertram's office was interesting. That's why I think it consists of multiple people, but McAllister was present on the scene of the abduction of Lisbon.

In a interview,the actor of Brett Pattridge say's that he play his role as if he was RJ so my guess is that BP was the first RJ by Bruno Heller but so many people have done videos on youtube or blog about him to be RJ so I think he just decide to switch everything because everyone think it was Pattridge after like 3 season so that was just not a clue anymore.just a though i got when i read the interview.

He is MacAllister!
Thats the only name that make sense. It is not "HE IS MAN" or "MAR"...

I cant believe that I am reading
almost all theories posted on this site everyday. There are some good theories
but others are too far-fetched. I have watched the 2 episodes of this season 3
times. I feel like I missing something. There are so many clues. But we are
missing a lot of information in order to make a good guess. Jane has a plan to
catch RJ but he is playing his mind games and he is not letting anyone know
about it. This is how he usually solves the weekly cases.

Red John has been ahead of Jane
so many times and i think that Jane is setting him up. He may or may not have
told Lisbon about his plans. He is pretending to be freaked out in the first
episode. I think he wanted Lisbon to reveal the list to Van Pelt and others. He
was not enough angry when he discovered Wayne and Cho also knows about his
list. Bertram told Jane that he knows he is getting close and I believed that
maybe Van Pelt told him or the CBI is bugged. Bertram is spying on Jane Thats
why Jane went to this attic to listen to the Sophie’s recording.

Bruno Heller said that there is
something wrong in the California law enforcement. I think that Bertram and his
poker friends are corrupted. And Red John knows about their wrongdoings. RJ don’t
necessary hypnotized all his followers but he blackmailed them to do his
bidding. This is how Jane does it sometime. Blackmailing LaRoche to give him
the list in season 3 or Bertram to get Lorelei from the FBI. Reed Smith and
Bertram desperately want to know about Jane’s progress because if RJ is caught
then they are going to be in trouble. Bertram looked very worried when he found
out that Partridge is dead. The reason why he died will be revealed later. My
guess is that Partridge was corrupted as well. He was probably removing
evidence at crime scenes. And RJ killed as a warning to Bertram and companions.


I have to admit I was not sure
Partridge was really dead but obviously there was someone else in the house in
the first episode. I find it strange how Lisbon got this call. RJ planned this
very well. I not sure about the clue Bruno Heller is talking. Visualize is
involved with Red John somehow, we will discover soon. I have suspicion RJ did
not kill those men in the barn but Stiles actually did. RJ was there and hiding
in the basement. I think that how he started killing people.

Kirkland is a very mysterious
man. I think most of agree by now that he is on a personal mission. He is after
RJ too just like Jane. Jane obviously had a fake list on his board. And thats
the fake list in episode 4. Maybe he is killing them. So Bertram, Smith, Stiles
and Kirkland is out. We are left with Haffner and McAllister. They both whistle
and very strong suspects. Personally, I think Ray is a too obvious choice but
could definitely be an accomplice. He is currently the most popular one because
of the scene at the hospital. He was creepy. The sheriff would make a great RJ.
He is a sheriff and thus he can be inconspicuous. He was weird in the episode 2
of season 1 which was written by Heller himself. The episode was about a serial
killer couple. Red John has serial killer friends like Timothy/Sally Carter,
Todd Johnson and maybe others.

I am really looking forward to
how Bruno will tell this story to make it epic.

Thanks for reading.

 

Red John's Last Murder.

I know this is a bit Off Topic, but I've been seeing this for the last three or so seasons.
There has been a fundemental PROBLEM with "The Mentalist" from its start that Bruno Heller has always faced.  "What happens when Red John is CAUGHT."  For Jane, his work with the CBI is OVER.  He's avenged his Family.  His work is DONE.  That, seemingly CONCLUDES the Series.  That's why BH has teased us so miserably the last 5 years with Finales hinting at Red John's end with increasingly preposterous endings.
And I sussed out a way for the series to continue on after Red John's demise.  And you're not going to like it.
What is Red John's relationship with Patrick Jane?  Why doesn't he simply MURDER his biggest and cleverest foe or mow down his CBI team to force Jane to give up?  Why would he have his knife at Lisbon's neck and not kill her?  If he wanted to discourage Jane from pursuing him, why doesn't he just mow down Lisbon's team?
Red John has been grooming Jane as his SUCCESSOR.  He smells Jane's cold-blooded Sociopathy and actively wants to groom Jane as his successor.  So that if he is caught and killed, Jane will continue his legacy so that even in Death, Red John will always live on!  
Jane is key to his immortality.  Not his weak-minded Cult, but someone truly capable of taking on his mantle.  That's why Red John has spared Jane's Death so many times.  RJ wants Jane to be GRATEFUL to RJ and the only person RJ trusts to perpetuate his legacy.
Jane has been too strong.  He hasn't fallen for any of RJ's tricks.  I think Red John has given up on Jane.  He wants someone NEW to GROOM.  And that person is WAYNE RIGSBY.
RJ wanted to groom Jane into a cold, Sociopathic Killer like himself.  He has FAILED.  I think RJ has given up on Jane and moved on to Plan B.  He accepts that Jane will eventually hunt him down and kill him.
Jane was too strong to fall for RJ's manipulative tricks.  But he sees EASY PREY in Rigsby.  Rigsby's a Hot Head.
This is my vision of RJ's REVENGE against Jane:  When Jane has RJ finally hunted down, RJ will intruct his Cult to HUNT DOWN and KILL GRACE and Rigsby's SON.  Red John's final murder.  Let Rigsby feel the pain that Jane had felt.
Red John couldn't convert Jane into his chosen successor.  Red John LOST.  In his place, his Cult of devotees and wannabes turn to absolute CHAOS, with Rigsby wanting to go MEDIEVAL against anything smelling vaguely of Red John.  Red John rules beyond the Grave by the swath of Chaos left behind in his Wake.  Disciples and Wannabes war against Law Enforcement that just wants to smack down anything vaguely Red John.
Cut off the Head of the Hydra and only more problems emerge.

Some people think that because McAllister is obviously NOT terrified of heights, that he cannot be Red John because Sophie Miller's recording states that her patient (Red John) is afraid of heights.  I don't agree.  So this is why I think he still could be Red John:

If I were a clever killer trying to 'prove' that I am NOT a killer, maybe I would manufacture some fake evidence by telling a  psychiatrist that I am afraid of heights when I actually am not - knowing that these notes would be discovered by my pursuers. I would even pretend to be trying to destroy her notes, and pretend to assume that she is not making recordings as well.  Then, when an opportunity arises (no pun intended) I can 'rise to the occasion' (pun intended) and 'prove' that I am NOT the killer.
 
If I were a dumb and reckless killer I would divulge a very pertinent and identifying fact about myself to a psychiatrist, knowing that my pursuers are hot on my heels - even though I knew I was planning to kill her.

Not too many people can think that Red John is either dumb or reckless.

Some people are saying that McAllister is afraid of pigeons and Red John is not because the house where Partridge was killed is full of them.  Possibly, but in my eyes a bit tenuous.  Not liking them or being startled by one does not mean that you are afraid of them to the point where you cannot enter a house where they are present... (or does it?)

Honestly, if a bird came out of nowhere and scared the shit out of you, you would very much act like that, i would for sure but does that mean i have a bird phobia? No. Don't over think it, honestly.
