Who is Red John?

Theories of TellingTruths (3)

I don't really understand why you all think that the episode sucks.

Although McAllister wasn't my favorite Red John when this season started, this season has clearly been built to fit McAllister for Red John. I thought this entire season was pretty bad, mainly because it lacks Patrick's brilliance. But this episode itself wasn't bad, and it fits perfectly to the story. I agree that there are still A LOT of questions that must be answered, and I really hope they will be. I also agree that several dialogs were pretty cheesy and "funny", but not enough to prove the episode being fake. You might think that it still lacks Patrick's brilliance, but it doesn't. He knew who Red John was AT LEAST in the previous episode (as I and many others "knew").

A lot of people seems to believe that this release was fake, which is not impossible, although unlikely. 
If we assume that Red John is someone on the list (which most people assumes), this ending is clearly better than either Bertram, Smith, Haffner or Stiles being Red John. So, that leaves the only possibly better ending with Partridge as Red John, which I still might have preferred. But anyways, I'm not upset with this ending either, not yet anyways, because I still think that everything will be explained.

For those of you who still hope that Partridge is more involved than it seems, I'll just say that it's possible that it was him in the last scene of the episode (at least looked that way in the crappy webrip I watched). It's a reach, and it's more likely just a tease, but still.

I can only advice you to watch the episode again, because it's really not THAT bad.

I'm sure I wasn't the only one who knew that Kira Tinsley (the private investigator) lied about who hired her, long before Jane did.

At first, I only thought that Cho made a major failure, asking a leading question like that.
But recently, I've been starting to wonder if it was intentional.

The dialog;
Cho: And who was your client? Was it Visualize?
Kira:   <long silence> Ye (looks like she's trying to convince herself)

I've always seen Cho as highly professional and short-spoken, but now he suddenly makes a rookie mistake and practically puts words (a lie) in the suspect's mouth (and then believes it with barely no further questioning).

I think he's involved somehow, most likely a member of the TT conspiracy.

If he isn't, it is a pretty big failure by the writers which "destroys" his character, depicting him as nothing more than a rookie cop interviewing his first suspect. And according to the TVGuide spoilers, he will start working for the FBI. Pretty funny with an FBI agent asking questions like that.
In my world they are better than that, but perhaps the writers aren't.

I'm sorry to reveal it, but we will never actually get to see Pj killing Rj, because Red John is already dead.

Brett Partridge was Red John, and he was killed by the Tyger Tyger conspiracy, hence why his last words to Lisbon were "tyger tyger". This is the important clue Heller was talking about.

The Tyger Tyger conspiracy pretends that Red John is still alive, and that's why "they" called Pj after the murder of Brett Partridge. Brett's killer (whom is part of the Tyger Tyger conspiracy) was a former associate of Red John.

The TT conspiracy have committed murders under the name of "Red John" before, but the one who killed Pj's family was Brett Partridge. He was the original Red John, the one who killed multiple women before the murder of Pj's family.

Some people may think that Brett Partridge is too young due to his looks, but his character is actually played by Jake Plotnick who is 45 years old (born 1968). If we assume Brett Partridge is about the same age, he would have been about 20 years old when committing his first murder (at the Visualize barn). This also explains Rj's connection with Visualize, and Bret Stiles extensive knowledge about Rj.

The murder of the private investigator was carried out by the TT conspiracy, not Red John.
Hence the sloppy work and the reveal of the three-dotted tattoo.

McAllister's blurt out "it's not what you think" in the latest episode pretty much means that he wasn't involved in the murder of Pj's family. In fact, noone of them have anything personal against Pj, and noone of them were involved in the murder. Everyone in that room is guilty of something though, the Visualize members for keeping Red John's identity a secret since the barn murder.

I might have missed out on some information but don't fear, it will all be explained in the upcomming episodes ( ¦ ))

(For additional information about why Brett Partridge fits to be Red John, take a look in some other theories. I choose not to include such things, because my intent was only prove how he is Red John, despite being dead. Listing everything else would take too much time. Remember, this is not a theory, it's the truth.)
