lets really think about it . the whole objetive of the series is to find red john, and it has been like that ever since the begining of the series, from season 1. this can only mean one thing. in tv series, we generally see the three main characters at the begining. who are the main characters of TM? . Patrick Jane, Teresa Lisbon, and off course, Red John. what does this mean? that if the point of the series is to find Red john, that means that he has been under our noses all the time, SINCE SEASON 1. red john appeared in every episode of season, his importance in the series gives him the need to appear in season one. my guess, Virgil Minelli. Another thing, what happened to Brenda since we saw that she was corrupt and allied with Tommy Volker? i have the feeling that is not the last we will see her. she might be also be friends with RJ.
