Red John is known to be a showman just like Janes dad from the circus. They have a similar skill set which is obvious because Alex Jane trained Patrick. It was revealed that Alex Jane bordered on physcopathy as he conned the desperate without a second thought. People often forget that red John needs a motive for killing all of these young women and something influences his obsession with Jane. He kills the young woman because they resemble the woman who he believes stole his son from him. It is relatively obvious why his father would be obsessed with his jane. I would like to know if anyone has info to disprove this. It along with a team member or Jane himself are the only endings that contain a big enough twist to really make everyone be stunned.
