Who is Red John?

Theories of RedJSheriff (1)

In S01E02, sheriff McAllister first meets PJ.
PJ finds out that the killer they're looking for (in this particular episode) is abducting redhead girls in order to rape them.
He tells Van Pelt to go near the crime scene alone (but with a camera and a wire so the team can watch her) to attract the suspect.
First person to show up is not PJ's guess but McAllister ! He offers a ride to Van Pelt because the last events prooved that this area was "dangerous" and she kindly refuses (because she wants to catch the rapist and assumes that McAllister isn't him).
But then something very odd happens, the sheriff really insists on driving her home.. In such an intense, almost violent, way that rigsby runs towards McAllister to protect Van Pelt.
And later on PJ catches his original guess who turns out to be the killer.

It feels that this really strange moment where you could almost consider McAllister as a killer trying to attract his "prey" was forgotten.

So my theory is : McAllister is RJ and Van Pelt was supposed to be his victim in this episode.
He had no idea he was being filmed. You can really distinguish a mean look on his face.
You should check this episode out, because you can definitely see that McAllister is trying to abduct Van Pelt and that is some relevant evidence.

PS : Please excuse my poor english.
