There are so many clues pointing to all on the list that anyone of our theories are all equally valid. I don't care who it is AS LONG AS ITS NOT REEDE anyone but reed, please god. He would be the worst red John. He seems very childish angry, not well composed. I would be so disappointed but it's for that reason I think it's gonna be him. No logic, just that he is the last person I would choose.

My ultimate choice would be Rigsby, wow what an ending. to see him exposed and do a complete character turn would be amazing. The creepy voice and his presence would be the fantastic ending. It would knock our shocks off and be unexpected. it would also make perfect sense in that red john would be always ahead of them knowing everything. Remember red john plays an acting game, he wont risk exposing himself. What better disguise than of the aloof innocent team member.

If the suspect is on the list then my next choice would be Haffner. We need a red john that would do the show justice and the others don't fit everything we have been told. It needs to make sense, the descriptions of him etc. Haffner was super creepy in that hospital scene gave me shivers and Lisbon brushed it too quckly off and made a slight joke that she had to get out of the hospital, but he really scared me. The sheriff is too...country. Patridge is more than likely dead, they told us that so maybe we need to listen. He would have been great too. I really want them to keep the creepy voice, the voice really makes him scary. I hope this is his real voice.

A few other things- Kirkham asked that man he killed in the hospital did he recognise him because he just wanted to see/test if RJ might his twin brother, he was relieved when the man said no. I also read the other theory that that was actually red john, the twin but I don't think so.


finally why do people keep saying that tiger tiger group are against red john, they are with him, Kirkham wanted to kill red john the tiger tiger group killed him. They are together that is why they have s much power. It's red johns group, not separate from him.

I believe Ellis Mars is Red John. Although there are many reasons to suspect Ellis Mars, a few specific ones stand out at me. First, Lorelei Martins sais she is surprised that Jane didn't become friends with him the second they shook hands. We all know that Patrick used to be a "Psychic" and Ellis Mars too believed himself to be a "Psychic". This is a perfect reason for Lorelei to think they would become friends. Next, Ellis Mars does not have the personality of a killer, but as we know Red John is very intelligent and will know how to put on an act. I personally do not believe that Red John will be a character who is very involved in the show, such as Lisbon, Cho, or Vanpelt. I think he will be someone who plays a high role in one episode of the show and then will return in an early episode of this upcoming season. Although there may not be much evidence supporting this theory, i don't think the creators of the Mentalist want us to know who Red John is until the last season, i don't think it will be to obvious. Many people suspect Brett Partridge, but i do not believe it is him simply because he seems to be too young.Red John has been killing people for up to 15 years, and Brett Partridge does not look to be any older than 28. No matter who Red John is, i can't wait to find out, and i'm looking forward to the next season.
