This is no theory: I came back in a time machine to spoil this for you.
-Brett Partridge is Red John
-Reede Smith shoots Michael Kirkland
-Ray Haffner killed the copycats, Jared Renfrew and painted Lisbon's face after carving up Partridge
-Patrick kills Red John alone in a park
-The 3 suspects with the tattoo turned out to be undercover agents inserted into Tyger Tyger in a law-enforcement clean up
-Bret Stiles is Red John's father
-Patrick bombed his own house
How do you find this theory?
plausible
