Apart from Lisbon and Lorelei, all of the other female cast members who are current suspects have red (or reddish) hair, Grace Van Pelt, Kristina Frye, Rosalind Harker, Susan Darcy, Brenda Shettrick, even Madeline Hightower. Summer and Sarah (Rigsby's girlfriend) don't have red hair but I don't think that they are in the show as suspects, just there to add to Cho and Rigsby's storylines). Could it be possible that the red haired women are all in some way linked to Red John and that he chose them because of their red hair? I don't believe that Grace is Red John (too young) but could be linked in another way, possibly through family. Kristina Frye is a victim of RJ and may even be RJ and pretending to be in a catatonic state to escape suspicion. Rosalind Harker also has links even if Roy Tagliaferro is not RJ. Madeline Hightower was also linked indirectly through Todd Johnson but we have no more news of her. I don't know how Susan Darcy or Brenda Shettrick could be linked but it seems that this is a disproportionately high number of redhaired women in the cast without a specific reason, especially since none of the male suspects have red (or reddish) hair. Minelli, Bertram, Laroche, Brett Stiles could have had red hair before going grey but we have no way of knowing this and no indication has been given that this is the case. The other male suspects, Bret Partridge, CBI Ron, Walter Mashburn, Luther Wainright and Craig O'Laughlin are dark haired and Patrick Jane is fair haired. It seems to me that the red haired women are all linked to RJ in someway or another or are otherwise there as red herrings.
