Ok, this will be more questions and random thoughts than a theory, let´s start with, how did Red John read Patrick´s mind? We know now that he could have learnt the happy memory part from Sophie Miller, but what about the list? How did he know those 7 names even BEFORE Patrick himself knew them? I personally think there´s something fishy going on there and that the list is fake, I strongly believe that if RJ was REALLY on that list, he would have killed Patrick as soon as possible since he wouldn´t want to risk being catched, but that´s just how I see things, I guess we´ll know for real soon enough. IF those are really the final suspects I guess it could be either Haffner or McAllister, I have a hard time seeing any of the others being Red John, maybe Partridge but I doubt BH will use that old "he was not really dead" trick, it would be kind of lame IMHO.
Another question is, is the Tyger Tyger "conspiracy" (as some call it) with Red John, against him or neutral? I´m guessing they are either chasing him or not even caring about what happens to him, I don´t think RJ is a part of it. Maybe the tattoo we heard about is a TT thing and one of them killed the PI, and, as some people already claimed, I don´t think RJ hired that woman.
Now, about Kirkland´s brother, I think he might be alive and probably is an important minion of RJ, and I think it was him in the hospital killing Jason Lennon, though it´s not very plausible, I still do. 
Anyway, I had more things in mind but seems I can´t put them into words yet haha to finish this, I must ask...please PLEASE people, stop posting those PJ is RJ theories, we should know better now at this point of the show, also, RJ is not a woman, so enough of that too, yes? I don´t want to belittle any theory but those really make no sense at all.

Hello everyone

I just want to reply to some theories


Mccallister fear of pigeons:

We all saw at the end of e3 how he was spooked by the pigeons but lets face it. If a group of birds just came out of nowhere towards your face it wil spook you too so we can't call what happened there a(phobia).

He might be Red John but I don't think he has fear of pigeons




Rigsby as Red John:

I dont see Rigsby as RJ becausen he doesn't match the description. He was born in 1978 (35 yrs old) and he is 6 feet 4 inches (193 cm) so he is too young and too tall to be RJ besides according to Lorelei RJ is supposed to be someone who does not get along with Jane but we can see that he and Rigsby are just fine together.

So I think it safe to say Rigsby isn't RJ

Food for thought. Remember at the end of the very first episode of Season 6 when Lisbon at the time was tracking all the 7 Red John suspects and went to Brett Partridge's location? If they did track correctly, shouldn't RJ who was at the scene be on the tracker too? 

I think Jane's wife faked her death and is the real Red John. This would explain how RJ new about Patricks memory that he (she) killed. Plus its the best way to blow everyones mind when they close it out.
RJ set it up to look like a guy just to throw us off.

[...] and then Kratos killed his wife and child because of Ares.
Now Ares did the same thing with Jane

Red John is a persona or a construct created by Brett Stiles, not one particular person. The Visualize religion is a cover for a CIA clandestine operation to develop assassins using post-hypnotic suggestion, narcotics and psychological conditions (i.e, phobias) as tools.

 The subjects of the operation are drawn to Visualize and if they are suitable, they are brainwashed and conditioned to believe they are Red John.

At this point their suitability as assassins is tested by various targets to which they are assigned.

The idea is that clandestine operations can be executed by subjects who are not aware of what they are doing and have complete deniability even under torture.

I deduced this answer from the following observations:

1, Brett Stiles has a long association with Red John dating back to the first happy face on the barn.

2. Hypnosis and psychological susceptibility is a frequent theme in the series. For example the man who drags in a body to CBI believing it to be a sack of potatoes.
 
3. Stiles has friends in high places, throughout law enforcement. They are not touching him because his program is sponsored by intelligence agencies of the government. This is idea has parallels in real life such as the MK Ultra program from the 50s and 60s (look it up, its scary!).

4. There needs to be a trigger for the post-hypnotic suggestion. It is Tiger Tiger.

5. At least two of the suspects have phobias (pigeons, heights or spiders). This points to a psychological susceptibility.


Its not possible to determine, which of the seven original suspects are 'Red John' but my guess is all of them, and probably more (Roy Tagliaferro, and all the characters who have said 'Tiger Tiger'! ).

Hope you like the idea, Happy to discuss it.

I think, that Red John is Bob Kirkland's TWIN brother. They said about him in the series for a reason. And even if Bob Kirkland said that his twin brother was killed by Red John, I think it is not true. There is a possibility that Red John was an old man, started to kill people long time ago (evidence is "the face" on the building in one of the episodes). If that old man died, Bob Kirkland's twin brother could continue the work of original Red John.
I am betting for Evil Twin!!!

P.S. I think Bob Kirkland thought about it, that is why he was asking everyone "Do you recognize me? Have you seen me before?" hoping, that victims would mistake him for his twin!
