Well, i can't say right now who Red John is. But i agree with some of the theories I have seen on this site; Episode 1-7 in season 6 will show that all the 7 suspects can be Red John, and I'm pretty sure, that we will know his identity in episode 8. 

My guess on who he is.. Many. Mayby all 7, and one of them is the "leader". If I had to put all my money on one of them right now, then it would be Betram. But no one can say for sure who it is right now.

I do have a theory about Kirkland to be Red John. His interest in Red John and his break into Janes room can be a false interest to make him look innocent as being Red John. That would be a great trick, right?

I also think that too many believe in every word that Rosalind said about Red Johns look etc. If she revealed too much about him, then I'm pretty sure she would have been killed. 

*WARNING, HUGE RED JOHN SPOILERS AHEAD*

Hi,

My theory is an unpopular one, but don't just hit the red thumb.

I am certain that Red John is Marlon Dingle from Emmerdale.

Now, I know that this seems unlikely because Emmerdale and The Mentalist are different TV shows, but a collaboration is not out of the question. I also believe a few of you will have come up with this theory too, so please, let's share our ideas.

There are a few things that make me certain of this:

1. The voice;

We know that Red John has a high pitched voice, and I think you will agree that in this clip Marlon Dingle's voice is also rather high pitched, when he wants it to be: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GwbXArwp19Y

2. Law enforcement connections;

In the video clip above, we see Marlon is a member of the local law enforcement. We know Red John has influence over the CBI and other local law enforcement agencies. It would make sense if Marlon gained this influence by working his way up the ladder of the FBI or Homeland Security - making friends on the inside.

3. Appearance;

From this picture, and the video above, you can see that Marlon matches Rosalind Harker's description exactly. He would make the perfect Red John. When he smiles, his face also bears a strong resemblance to the famous Red John smiley face.This should convince you that Marlon is Red John. http://files.list.co.uk/images/2012/07/16/9df367ec6a7771d4854bc0b5fccbbfa5f3dab10d.jpg

4. "He is Mar"; http://www.blogcdn.com/www.aoltv.com/media/2009/01/mentalist-heisman.png

This CLEARLY implies that the man Red John killed was trying to write "He is Marlon". This almost proves Marlon Dingle is infact Red John by itself.

5. "Gonna Red Mill";

Marlon Dingle is an anagram of "Gonna Red Mill", i.e. Marlon is going to paint the mill red. The mill actually refers to the barn where Red John ( or should I call him Red Marlon! ) painted his smiley face!

6. "Tyger Tyger";

As we know, the line "Tyger, Tyger" is repeated often by associates of Red John. In this picture, we see Marlon wearing an orange and black shirt. Which animals have an orange and black striped coat? You guessed it, tigers! http://www.emmerdale.org/emmerdale/Picture_Gallery/thumb_size/marlon1_dedication.JPG

Thanks for reading my theory and I hope this has enlightened you. Maybe now you can all stop posting theories about the "7 suspects" and we can collect enough evidence to prove, once and for all, that Marlon Dingle is Red John!

How did we miss this?  Right under our noses:

I give up with a serious suspect, Heller is leading us all on a wild goose chase, and i'm getting fed up of suspecting everyone shown onscreen. 

So, i'm going to be silly. We know RJ is basically another version of PJ, so lets assume that he too is australian. We know that he has great hunting instincts, is skilled outdoors and is very good with a knife.


At the end of "Red Sky in the Morning", we see that RJ kills the copycats in a very skilled manner, almost as if he's saying "That's not how you kill someone mate, this is how you kill someone"

RJ is Crocodile Dundee

Ben Red John'un bu 7 kişiden biri olduğuna inanmıyorum.

Çünkü hepsi birbiriyle bağlantılı ve bir planları var, bir iş çeviriyorlar.
6x02'de, Bertram kimin öldüğünü soruyor ve oradaki adam Bratt Partridge deyince, Bertram'ın surat ifadesi değişiyor, ürküyor gibi oluyor ama az tanıdığını söylüyor. Vermiş olduğu tepki, normal bir tepki değil. Kesinlikle o da planın içerisinde olan birisi. Her şeyi geçiyorum, Tiger Tiger diyor. Bunu demek zorunda mıydı? Zaten ölüyorsun, onu desen ne olur demesen ne olur?

Kirkland'ı yönlendirenin de; Bertram olduğunu düşünüyorum. 6x02'de hatırlayacak olursanız yine; Reede Smith, Jane tam olarak ne kadarını biliyor diyor ve Bertram Soru da bu değil mi?, diyor. Bunun üzerine Reede Smith: Evet öyle. Ve bilmekte senin işin diyor. Bundan dolayı da Kirkland, Bertram'ın dediklerini yerine getiriyor. Hepsi birbiriyle alakalı. 

Şuanlık Red John'un kim olduğunu tahmin edemiyorum fakat şuna eminim ki; sonunda bizi gerçekten şaşırtacaklar ve tamamen ters köşeye yatıracaklar. Seni bekliyoruz Red John!

I'm not bashing the Partridge isn't dead group as anything is possible but how do you explain Sac PD saying there is a DOA named Brett Partridge at the scene? There are quite a number of people that take part in a crime scene investgation and they can't all be in on it.

Hello!

To be honest: I do not have a clue who will be Red John in the end.

I just wanted to make you consider the following possibilities:

PJ is ahead - he created this list and staged it all. As in previous cases it's a small bait for the killer: like a faked diary e.g. that makes him nervous and do someting to reveal his identity. This time: a list of the final suspects.

Lorelei is not dead - otherwise there is now way she could have read PJs list 2 months before. As PJ said to Lisbon when asked how RJ did it: "I don't know, it's a trick".

The list must not include RJ - PJ just wanted to create chaos and suspiscion among all (and Heller including the audience). Everyone suspects someone and PJ is waiting for RJ to make a mistake.

Partridge must not be dead - even this may involve PJs doing so that all the others on the list try even more desperate to find RJ after a "kill" happened. That' why RJ did not kill Lorelei, it was staged (although the surprise call from RJ to PJ After the Assault does not fit in).

PJ also expected Lisbon to tell the others about the list so that the suspicion gets inside the Team.

Thank you very much for reading.
