Who is Red John?

Theories of Nomoreredjohn (1)

RED JOHN





Friends with Orville Tanner,
father of Dumar. Took Dumar under his wing when Orville died and
most probably landed him the Sheriff's job aswell.


A member of visualize who worked
at the barn back in 1988. Mcallister was most likely taken in by
Bret Stiles as a damaged man. This obviously stems from an abusive
childhood upbringing for Mcallister that probably involved abuse
from both mother and father to the point where recovery to live a
normal life was beyond him.
Stiles took him in, nurtured him
and sent him to the farm to work. It was here that Stiles realised
that Mcallister had murdered the other 2 workers. Whether Mcallister
threatened, blackmailed Stiles or Stiles simply could not have the
name of Visualize be asscociated with a serial killer they both
agreed to keep it between themselves, hence Stiles always knew
Mcallister was Red John and Red John now had leverage over Stiles.
Hence why Stiles had to die, loose end especially since he was dying
and Jane was narrowing the list.


Bosco and his team had come across
the evidence about Carter & Janet Peak, Jane realised that Red
John does make mistakes and if not for Rebecca, Bosco and his team
may have been able to identify the DNA from Carter Peak's body.


Kristina Frye is either a RJ
operative or member of Visualize. This is how RJ knew to say Roll
Tide to Patrick in the season 2 finale, this is why RJ did not kill
Frye after she went on TV and the whole zombie I'm alive but dead
thing is just an act, I mean she is an RJ operative, a self
proclaimed psychic, she would have all the skills Patrick posseses
to deceive and put on a show. This is also how Stiles knew where
Frye was in season 3 episode 1.


The person who killed Rebecca was
indeed another accomplice, the same accomplice who sat in the food
court in the red sweater.


It was the real RJ in the season 2
finale with the mask. It is the same hunting knife used by RJ
throughout, including in the scene with Lisbon where she has her
face painted in season 6 episode 1. The smiley face on Lisbon was to
show Patridges death, he never got to finish Lisbon because either
1) He had her bugged and used her for intel on Jane or 2) The
pigeons scared him away before he got to finish her off.


Timothy Carter was not a law
enforcement Tiger Tiger member, but he has no recorded past at all,
so he knew RJ from the past and it was RJ that helped him kidnap all
of the children with ease therefore Carter would do anything for RJ,
even standing in pretending to be him at the foodcourt.

How did he hook up with Lorelei? Lorelei was with him because he made her believe he had saved Lorelei from a downward spiral and that he would help her in her quest to get revenge on her sisters killer, when in fact it was him.

Rebecca followed him because as Jane said, she was a messed up kid, came from abuse etc, something RJ knew all too well about, and with Stiles taking him under his wing, showing RJ how to make followers of people, this was too easy for RJ.

The big clue in S06E01 final scene was the hunting knife, although we were not suppose to put that together until a later episode where we found out Mcallister was a hunter.

He is Mar...ked.

How was he able to buy the barn under Cut Iron properties, have limo's for his accomplices etc?
Stiles and Visualize, they funded anything he needed.

As for how he got the list, Jane knows how. But he also knows that RJ is dying to tell Jane himself. This is what get's him going, RJ wants nothing more than Janes approval, or at least to be able to tell/show him how amazing he is and how smart he is. Jane refusing to care or know how RJ did it is the ultimate insult and this is the 1 thing RJ really wanted to tell Jane more than anything, Jane knew this and never gave him the opportunity. RJ's last attempt at telling Jane he is a REAL psychic was nothing more than a last gasp attempt at making himself look divine/amazing/smart/god like in Janes eyes before he died...unfortunately for RJ, Jane already knew how he did it and killed him.

In the end, RJ was nothing more than a man, a sexually sadistic, egotistical psycho and in no way was Jane going to give him satisfaction in letting him think all he had done was to be marvelled at.

Goodbye RJ...
