Partridge said a little while back that "red john hasnt killed anyone in years ". He said this to another no name forensic guy. It seems like macalister and partridge were assuming the roles of red john in order to explain certain murders. So in a way macalister was red john as heller said. But i believe the original red john who killed patricks family is still alive . I dont think the real red john would have 3 dots on his shoulder .
The investigator hired by visualize said her killer had 3 dots . How did she see the 3 dot?! Why did her killer leave her alive ? Rj could of just slit her throat ? Nobody would leave a witness alive to talk.
Maybe she was a rj follower who was meant to die and to lead jane to take down tiger tiger. Seems weird that rj gave info to sophie miller and if he was indeed the head of tiger tiger .
Red john is sitting back waiting for patrick to keep killing and this BECOME a serial killer . Fearful symmetry.
All in all there is no explanation for thst girl to have seen the 3 dots . Her killer wasn't shirtless !!!!
