THE THEORIES

Ladies and gentlemen.... We GOT HIM..
It's an honor to introduce you to Red John. Let's give a wonderful applause to CBI RON.
This showman wanted his face in almost every scene.
That bald Bertram wanted to kill Jane, Jane wakes up. Bertram escapes outside and breaks his phone, and look who is there the master of all trolls. CBI Ron, he is just saying 'Hey boss!!' just walking into the hospital.

Yet again another scene, I honestly thought this was fking creepy. Reede Smith is telling about the Blake Association. Well well well I've heard one of the most creepiest whistling in my life, CBI Ron yet again just trolling and walking in the hallway whistling. Reede Smith looked creeped out, he was just telling he doesn't know who Red John was.
FBI walks in, yet again CBI Ron right there. I'm a troll, just a regular CBI agent. Catch me if you can, you don't even know who I am.
Dafuq why was he coming to the hospital?
Bertram is not Red John, he killed the bartender but he didn't even thought about putting a face on the wall. He is just one of the grrrrr Tygers :P.

One thing though I have yet to see the bodies of the bombings, but they said they had found remains of the three suspects. And we had the honor to see one of their foot. YUCK lol.

The Partridge body was obvious that left shoulder was the place of a wonderful tattoo. I thought it was disappointing though that they didn't let us see his face... This Bruno Heller is a troll too. Somehow when Jane mentioned the name Partridge it was kinda thrilling I can't describe the feeling.

I have liked this episode a lot more than the previous episode, my heart was pounding fast the whole episode long.
In the last scene when Jane sat in the church, I was quite scared. I expected to hear Red John's high pitched voice.

ANOTHER WEEK..... Bruno dude what are you doing to me?

Come on guys! Think outside of the box. We are told we will be surprised when we learn who is Red John. Then, we are given seven suspects and again we are told this list is legit. Then, again we are told Red John is there from the beginning. So simple answer to who is Red John is Partridge or McAllister. I don't think that it is a huge surprise for fans if one of them is Red John. We have produced many theories for them and are given many clues that one of them is Red John. We are always misdirected to one of the suspects.

So what could the trick be if the list is legit and we will be surprised when Red John is revealed ( we won't if we have only Partridge and McAllister). Simple trick works. He is a really on the list but he is not at the same time. Who is the best candidate then? Of course, someone who has a twin brother whom he switched his identity with. Then how could Robert Kirkland be on the show from the beginning if he resembles his twin? By changing his appearance (plastic surgery). So who could be Robert Kirkland (someone in the show from the beginning and someone like Waldo we see on background ) if he changed his appearance? CBI Ron.

I believe I really connected how the seven suspects are connected to Red John in my theory.

There are a few
possibilities in this theory:

Bruno Heller says that we
got a glimpse of Red John's face in the season 3 finale, Strawberries and
Cream. While everyone was focusing on looking around towards the end of the
episode in the mall, I spent my time looking at the extras at the beginning and
the rest of the episode. 


I
found CBI Ron 03min:29sec into the episode.

Then
we see this guy, who acted strangely as an extra - he was staring at the action
while walking in the other direction, and he looked back twice. He's then cut
back into the scene a few seconds later from another direction even though he'd
have been out of sight of the camera. Continuity issue, or intentional? And
does he look like the guy in the red sweater in the mall?

If Heller is using artistic license when he says that we
saw a glimpse of Red John’s face in this episode, then it’s entirely possible
that it is Bertram. Bertram called the bombing at the gas station “elegant” and
did so with a look of pride, then quickly reverted back to his CBI boss
persona. It’s a stretch, but it’s possible.

 

Another person to make an appearance very briefly is Oscar Ardiles who was a previous
suspect of mine, based on aspects of a psychological profile of Red John. He
would almost certainly seek work that would allow him to utilise his
manipulative side without drawing attention. As a lawyer he is able to do
precisely that, and has access to information about a ton of people. He’d also
not draw any attention to himself being in any of the law enforcement buildings
at any point. Another reason why this episode implicates him is that Rigsby made
it obvious that he was feeding information to Ardiles by pretending to let it
slip while on the balcony getting coffee. This was obvious to the viewer, and
therefore obvious to Ardiles, especially if he is Red John. He’d see straight
through this as a trap. But he still needed Hightower, hence why he sent his
assassin to the floor above and told her to climb down, therefore implicating
Bertram. Or Bertram told her himself, considering he was also told the same
information. Also, why was O’Laughlin on the roof when Van Pelt found him? Was
he simply getting coffee, or was he meeting with Ardiles – we know that Ardiles
is often there, considering that’s where Rigsby went first to feed him false
information.

Here is my theory. Please read all.

I improved my previous theory.

I think CBI Ron is real Robert Kirkland and he is Red John. At the Red Barn, Robert finds his twin brother Michael who tries to get rid of his alcohol issue, but now he becomes a drug addicted. Robert kills the other members of the Visualise. The problem is now how to prevent the Visualise from killing Michael. Michael is the weaker sibling and cannot survive against the Visualise. The twins switches their identities. Then real Robert disappears and Michael (now Robert) hears no news from his brother. What Michael does not know that his brother had a plastic surgery and changed his face and identity. That is why he did not kill anybody for a decade.Because creating a best identity theft takes years (in one episode an Irish guy who creates fake identities told so). Maybe during these years he kills under different alias like Roy. After a decade, he becomes CBI (R)ed j(O)h(N). This also explains why he is not on the list. because his fake identity does not fit the Red John case so Jane eliminates him.

This theory explains many things.

He is there from the beginning.

He is like Waldo.

He is really on the list (Real Robert Kirkland)

He fits the expression of Simon Baker. ( He told the interview it is like killing a family member). Unlike the seven suspects, Ron has been there in many episodes from the beginning.

He is close to Jane and the investigation.

Other things

He is mar. He is (M)ichael (A)ka (R)obert

Examine carefully Robert Kirkland (actually Michael). He has self-control issue and shaking hands. He is an old addict. He was desperately looking for Robert. That is why he ask people "do you recognise me?". He wanted to know if they had met Robert. He did not know for sure that Robert is Red John or his tool killed by Red John. He actually brought those people to his own cabin.

Ron had a phone at his hand when Jane came to the CBI at the end of episode one of season six. Then he called his accomplice who killed Partridge and while his accomplice was drawing his mark on Lisbon's face, he spoke to Jane through his accomplice' and Lisbon's phones. He kept it short because he did not want Jane to understand he was talking to him through two phones. In this way, he also eliminates himself as a Red John suspect in the eye of Patrick and many viewers. However, we know Red John tricked Jane before in this way (Think about Wainwright in the limo). Besides, when Jane staged the fake death of Rigsby, who were there with Wainwright? Ron and Karl. He could easily kidnap Wainwright and trap Jane. He is a good observant like Jane. He can easily notice that man is not Rigsby.

When Tyger Tyger killed his brother (They did not know the real identity of Red John and Kirkland is his brother), he gave tattoo clue to Jane to led him to kill the group members who are also Red John suspects (Bertram, McAllister and Smith) or he led Jane to bring all suspects together and wanted to get rid of them all together if he is the one who planted the bomb. In this way, he would kill both his brother's killers and the Visualise leader that is after him because of the Red Barn incident.

Lastly, I think Ray Haffner is the accomplice of Red John. he has a problematic childhood. He told so. He has also interest in Lisbon. He is a good tool for Red John. Red John always offers his accomplices the things they do not have. (As we know he offers the accomplice the girl he loves, in another case, he gives the baby) I think Haffner is obsessed with Lisbon and helping Red John to get Lisbon. It was Haffner who killed the fake Red John killers and saved Jane. Ron (real Red John) spoke Jane through the phone. He is also the one who drew the mark on Lisbon's face. If Red John is the one who planted the bomb at Jane's house, he also wanted to kill Haffner because he knows him. Red John has no friends, only tools. I really wonder what would happen to Haffner if Red John put the bomb.

After the loss of his brother and cleaning in the California Law Enforcement, he will desperately seek the friendship of Jane. then, bang! Bang!

I want to try and look at this like a mentalist (if I can manage). The statement made by the actor (undisclosed) who will play RJ may have been including a clue in it. As you know, almost all characters who're accused to be RJ are accused for their actions, behavior and suspicious moments. So, we can say that there have been "certain elements" that made us suspect that those guys may be Red John.

However, the actor says: I though "I WAS" a red herring. I don't know if I'm thinking too deep but he's putting his entire character on the table and call it a red herring. He doesn't say that he thought his actions or behavior is red herring. And the only one who can be identified according to this statement is CBI Ron. Maybe wrong but it was worth to mention. Of course, I have to deny the list in order to come up with such a theory. Have fun people!
