Hi guys :)
I have recently (about 2 months ago) posted a theory which most of you (about 100 if i remember correctly) regarded as plausible. However it somewhat turned out to be nonsense as Brett Partridge is now dead. So after watching 6 x 01, I made up my thoughts entirely new and came up with a few very interessting factors:
1. Lisbon is not dead. (Bruno Heller quot: "Lisbon fans don't have to be worried, even though they are supposed to be"). I am also pretty sure why Red John drew the Smiley on her face.
What I think happened was that Red John made her uncouncious (probably with an injection) and then he drew the Smiley on her face for the following reason: He murdered Brett Partridge without a Smiley at the wall! We know that if you see a RJ victim you must see the Smiley first. Therefore what will happen is that Jane will, when finally entering the room, look for Libson first before bothering to look at Partridge. When finding out that she is uncoucious or even sleeping, he will then look at the dead Body of Partridge. Then he will have seen the Smiley first and the actual vicitm of Red John.
2. With that knowledge now.... WHO ON EARTH COULD BE RED JOHN? I will utilise the same method as before going through factors for every single character on the list:
1. Brett Stiles: too old, no Chance to have the voice, Stiles is not average size as Rosalind said (hes waaay smaller)
2. Reede Smith: would be cool as when rearranging the letters of his Name, it could mean: The Red is me. However, Smith is small and fat which does not fit Rosalind's description
3. Sherrif Thomas McAllister: would definetely be interessting, but he is too old and again the voice could not possibly fit. However, I cannot fully disclude him unfortunately
4. Bob Kirkland: Once again: WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAy too obvious, but definetely a Person working in coorperation with RJ.
5. Gale Bertram: he is very, very tall which Rosalind did not say. On top of that his voice once again cannot possibly fit. However he is my number 2 candidate, just because I had a bad Feeling about him the first Episode he appeared.
Coming to my main suspect: Ray Haffner
Notice that RJ's fingers are very skinny which can only be the case for Kirkland, McAllistar and Haffner (Smith too fat, Stiles too fat, Bertram not as thin as required).
On top of that he is a member of visualize which we know that Red John definetely is (or was).
He offered Lisbon a new Job in 05 x 13. If he really is Red John, he knew of Jane's recent Feelings for Teresa and wanted to gain her as a allie for the "game" that he is playing with PJ. The fact that he snatched Lisbon fits as well, as Lisbon's Team had always outpaced Haffner's Team.
So in conclusion my ranking is:
1. Ray Haffner
2. Gale Bertram
3. Sherrif Thomas McAllistar
4. Bret Stiles
5. Reede Smith
6. Bob Kirkland
One last thought:
I think that Kristina Frye will become relevant again.
She is the one and ONLY victim that remained alive after being attacked by RJ (He would have killed her simply if she was no allie as she insulted him on tv, she was a woman and she meant a lot to Jane at that time). I am 99% sure that she is a very Close friend and maybe even complice of Red John.
Thank you very much for reading :)
