THE THEORIES

Can we all just say how awful it would be if Red John was in fact the whole group of people? That would be the worst case scenario ever. The season 3 finale and the interaction of Red John, the fake one was so cold and he was disconnected from Patrick Jane. He is a man who equally loves and hates Jane so I hope that at least if Red John is in fact one person that we will have more of an interaction between the two before PJ kills him. He was gonna walk away from Jane without saying a hell of a lot to him. Patrick Jane did kill him but the smart Jane would have known straight off the bat that this was not Red John that killed his family. 

The group thing is impersonal, means that his wife and daughter died for some stupid reason, for nothing personal. This is the way I feel it is going. i feel that all the clues point to multiple people. Does anyone else feel this way? Would you be disappointed if all the suspects were in fact Red john. I hope the writers don't  go this way but it's the simplest explanation now and this is why the whole TYGER TYGER thing was brought in.

I hope the writers read this. It would be a terrible ending and not satisfying at all. please leave comments below to how you feel about this. I can't be the only one.

I don't know but I've heard Heller verified the suspect list so I'm very very confused.. I didn't actually think that RJ would be on the list of the 7 suspects.. Anyways, my point is, that Styles is the only one of those who has that many connections and can hide it perfectly behind Visualize. Which means even if he was talking to a victim of any RJ related case he could easily talk himself out of it by saying it was someone who needed help from Styles aka the head of Visualize. Some people say it has to be Haffner because RJ must've been a cop of some kind to have so many connections with cops and agents from the fbi, cbi, homeland security and who knows where else.. And I also like to think that because he knows that his followers/Visualize members would always cover for him, for literally everything.


But either way I hope RJ messes up big time so that Jane can follow another track.. because the thing with the tattoo can be RJ but it's not very plausible because I don't think RJ would ever be this careless, although he was in a hurry when he killed the woman he/or someone from the tyger communtiy hired to bug the cbi because he knew the police and the cbi were coming for him. 

Soooo anyways.. Oh! and also the thing about the not-knowing where styles is since Loreleis video is also very suspicious.. but couldn't it also be the tyger community who made up Red John to confuse the authorities to let them think that it is only one person and not a whole community..? Because the authorities think the they are just RJs "followers" and (maybe/probably) think they're more or less harmless to society... I don't think that this is very plausible though.. It HAS to be ONE person.. or? ugh I'm so confused right now.. when I first started watching the show I was hoping that Jane himself was Red John because he has a split personality or something like that which would be SO AWESOME but we all know that this is most likely not going to happen.. 

yeah.. that was my theory; I just hope that this isn't the last season of The Mentalist, the story is really awesome and I just don't want it to end.. 

I hope it wasn't tooooo long haha I'm sorry if it was..

Facts:

1. Kirkland is dead. 6 left

2. Bertram + Smith + Mcallister = Corrupted police ( Tiger - Tiger ) led by RJ so possibilities is they are not RJ

3. Haffner was police and still is Visualize.

4. Patrick got a clue that is massive ( tattoo of RJ )

5. Pattridge has the most similar voice to RJ

My thoughts:

In season 5 if im not mistaken patrick and his team invastigate a case at an old farm house which was controlled by VIsualize and had the red john face on its wall from long time ago.

Detective said that she was hired by visualize before she got killed by her client ( RJ ) 

As stated by the doctor RJ has phobias and haffner seems to be scared of things

They say that RJ controls many people and so does Brett stiles from visualize

My Conclussion

RJ is 6 men:

Pattridge = his voice

3 agents ( FBI , CBI , POLICE ) his eyes and ears

Haffner = his hands

Stiles = his brain and leader...


What I am not sure though is that red john appeared as a person to the doctor and she concluded but a visualize member would never do that because they all some how find inner peace at that place.

And more interesting is that RJ never makes mistakes that are THAT obvious to patrick...

Malcolm McDowell (Stiles) is the most famous guest actor involved, so it has to be him.The Mentalist always casts the most recognized actor in an episode as the killer.

Prepare for the dissappointment now people, once RJ is revealed this website will be flooded with haters! Heller has had trouble deciding who he wants to make RJ. He has changed his mind many times!

Bret Stiles is not Red John but he is Patricks real father.
Patricks happy memory was discovered by Red John , because either Red John was  ( 1.) actually there to witness  the memory or (2) Patrick was hypnotized to reveal information about himself.
Red John is Patricks brother/ or sister. ( the bad sibling, hence Tyger Tyger, and symmetry references)  I have not idea who that could be but I am sure this is about 'family'.
At a guess I would say his wicked, deranged little brother is  Brett Partridge ( son of Bret Stiles, same first name).
