Acly Red John is no man, it was just dream of Patrik jAine!!!!

Please no copy paSTerino sory for bad englando :D

OK, I am going out on a limb here. Be warned, my theory is pretty out there and not exactly cohesive or complete. But, I've been re-watching Season 1 and I remembered things that I didn't think were as significant back then.

However, the whole Van Pelt suspicion some theorists were showing got me thinking... We obviously know that her father was a football coach, it was mentioned a few times throughout the series. In addition, we can recall that RJ said "Roll Tide" to Jane which is most likely a reference to the University of Alabama's football rally chant (coincidentally the team is called 'Crimson Tide'). A lot of interesting correlations...

Further, in S1, when Jared and the prostitute are murdered in Tijuana, the blood on the wall says something like "he is mar" which many of us have suspected was meant to read "he is many" among other things. BUT, as I re-watched, the first thing that came into my head was Heisman, as in the Heisman trophy that is given out in college football in the US.

I've also read on this site that sports trophies are seen in Bertram's office. Perhaps a closer look into this is needed!

My question now is that do we have ANY indication of if Van Pelt is from Alabama? Her background really is a mystery. I'm very curious about this whole situation. I may just be looking too close at the details but it's worth thinking about. 

Before S06 E03, with all the hints so far (based on what we know and what we don't know about the suspects). Chances (approximately) of each suspect to be Red John are:

24% - Gale Bertram
23% - Ray Haffner
17% - Thomas McAllister
15% - Someone Else
11% - Reede Smith
5% - Bret Stiles
4% - Bob Kirkland
1% - Brett Partridge
0% - Patrick Jane

In my opinion Red John is like ''Anonymous'' just one idea, Red John is anyone and in the same time is everybody (on the seven of the list). Simple like that.

Hi all,

I know a lot of us suspect a lot of people on the show.....

All I can say is that the pressure really is on Bruno to pull off an epic here because every possible outcome ( based on what we have been fed all these years) has been discussed, analyzed, raped, heck even produced offsprings.....

Whatever the outcome is of episode 8......I just hope he doesn't disappoint.....I really love the show and would like to continue to watch mentalist after 6x8.....

Keep guessing and discussing :) more power to you mentalists !!!!!

The list is FAKE.  The Direct TV synopsis for the up comming October 20 episode titled "red listed"  states:  Jane's list of fake Red John suspects is stolen, the team realizes those named are in danger.

Some people think that when Heller said "You can trust the list" that it meant RJ is on the list.

I think it meant you can trust the people on the list. None of them are RJ.

I still think that Jane is in the process of setting RJ up.

I believe that several of the people on the list suspect that Jane is RJ-hence the meeting in Bertram's office where
Reede tells Bertram it's his job to know what Jane is up to.

I believe that Partridge is indeed alive and that he is a wannabe RJ trying to insert himself in the action.That woman on the bench feeding the pigeons sure looked like Partridge.

Jane repeatedly relies on creating a diversion in order to solve his crimes. 

The identity of Red John is revealed in episode 7, yet I think it won't be the real Red John.
