ARGUMENTATION

Lorelei reading Red John's letter to Patrick

"I know that you've made a list, and I know that by the
time you watch this video, you'll have narrowed that list down to a few
names. That's quite a feat of memory and research. Bravo. I bet you
think you're pretty damn clever, but you're not. You got a lucky break.
That's not clever. I'll show you clever.
"



Did he already show us what he means by a clever act? Do tell on the comment section.

The clue
Bruno Heller was talking about a big clue in S06E01. Could it be the pigeons or the different style of Red John face painted on Teresa's face.

Try to compare it by yourselves.

Kristina Frye
She hasn't been killed by Red John, but she got hypnotized. Who could have pulled that off? Someone who has knowledge of drugs or by a certain hypnotic technique, a forensic expert or someone from visualize?

Let's narrow it down then:
Brett Partridge
Bret Stiles
Ray Haffner

Brett Partridge
The forensic expert. He could pull off the fake wounds, lowering down his heart rate, and even drug Kristina. But yet he is dead. I wonder could that be the clue on Teresa's face. He pulled a clever trick, he is and will always be a showman.

Bret Stiles
The person with probably the most power of all the suspects. He said that he had inside knowledge about Red John. Could it be that he knows Red John or that Red John joined his Visualize? Sadly the boss is enjoying his precious time before he dies. Kinda "disappointing" Right Heller?

Ray Haffner
He has a weakness for the lovely Teresa and always calls her by her first name. The lunatic Red John calls Patrick on his cell in S06E01 'Teresa can't come to the phone right now, can I leave a message?' If you would try to take a look at the suspect list, only Ray calls her Teresa.
Furthermore he tries to warn Teresa to keep distance from Patrick, something dangerous could happen. Did he know about the planned bombing in Patrick's garden house? He has a phobia and is scared for spiders.. Well who isn't :P
The different Red John face on Teresa, could it be Ray's doing to mark his love. Like you're mine our time will come.
It was quite weird in the hospital, first the nurse comes the 'check' on her when Patrick is besides her bed. And after Patrick leaves Ray arrives. He has grown in confidence significantly and why is that? After the conversation with Teresa he just leaves happily and whistles.

Let me read those theories in the comment section, I just really like how people think differently about these things.

The other 4.

Sheriff Thomas McAllister
I just love this guy, he seems really intelligent. Saves Patrick and always challenges him in little mini/mind games. Those squinty eyes and that smile. Lol I wouldn't even be disappointed rather excited if he is Red John :P That picture below is kinda cool.

I think he is just a guy with a fetish to see Patrick's reaction when he discovers who Red John is. He is probably the head of the TygerTyger group or at least a minion who is sharing all his known information to a certain person through the phone.

Great voice, sadly shot dead by mr. Smith.
