I would just like to test my theory and see what people think.......

Ok. So, Jane and his family and his Wife's family are all part of the carny life supposedly. They are circus folk but not as Jane mentioned fully (carnies) although we saw in one of the episodes of Jane's flashback life that Jane's Father had been a con-man, and Jane (boy wonder) was part of his Father's coning spree (eg. the sick little girl and the healing jewel or stone.) I'm thinking that given the view of Jane's Father being angry in the episode (and seeming slightly abusive) after Jane walked away not wanting to con the girl, I am thinking Jane's Father Alex was upset that his "money maker" left him for the woman (Angela Jane) that Jane fell in love with and they both ran away to get married' perhaps after that Alex jane swore revenge to get even on Patrick for leaving him alone. Though the one thing that doesn't add up is that if it was Alex Jane who killed his daughter-in-law and granddaughter, why would he inflict that tragedy on his innocent granddaughter? well...we haven't heard of or seen Patrick Jane's Mother (did he even have one?) (was he adopted?) just an idea. Perhaps Jane's Mother was born of the carny life or not form the life, maybe she met Alex Jane (who may or may not have already had Patrick) and the were due to be married or married (or maybe they had Patrick as a couple) and perhaps Jane's Mother (if he had one, which I would think either way) perhaps she didn't want the life of a con-carny for herself and Patrick her baby that she decided to break up and leave Alex Jane, although Alex wouldn't let her have his son because Alex knew something about Patrick Jane that the Mother didn't know of. Also too wasn't it mentioned in Red John Rules that Patrick spent a lot of time in the Child Service Center as a child? anyways I could just be going off and not putting things together but I feel like some of this theory could be the truth. Also too it would be a play-off of Angela not wanting the same life of a carny that perhaps Patrick's Mother didn't want also, perhaps because it would be dangerous for their children?? Perhaps Alex Jane was so angry after Patrick left that he begun to kill people, anyone, brutally, and maybe he came across visualize? just an idea, maybe he left the carnival? never went back, and swore to track down Jane, and make him suffer in the harshest and heartwreching of ways, also maybe the leaving of Patrick's Mother caused Alex to have a break down and he became crazed because he thought, Patrick was the cause for the departure of Patrick's Mother and maybe he didn't want to see his son happy when he was anything but! also this could be why Red Joh doesn't kill Patrick (when he is this close to) and then explains saving him (form the copy cat crew) it's like something inside him is pulling away because it is his son. Haven't you noticed how it's always someone eles murdered and Jane never get injured??? I think that means something...besides the game he is playing.....

So when you think about it some of it adds up. Also if it is not Alex Jane, then perhaps it is someone else who is a part of the carnival life and maybe Patrick was supposed to pay them back for something, remember what Patrick said? "Carnies are good people, but make sure to pay them back" or something along the lines of this.

Also Bruno Heller has been taking us back to the carnival for a few of the past episodes and now all of a sudden he is bringing the audience back. ....is Heller deliberatly trying to throw us off???

Also I don't know if anyone remembers or can explain this but just a question.....remember in the episode where Patrick Jane sees his Doctor (Sophie Miller) ? we'll I still can't understand this....in a flashback to the Mental institution where Jane was being kept and Sophie was his therapist, it shows Jane sitting on a cot-bed and on the wall isn the Red John smiley! I don't understand, am I missing something? was there a murder in the Mental Hospital?? or is Jane drawing the mark!? and why is it in Patrick's room of all the other rooms??? 

Also one last thought......I know it has been conformed that Red John is for sure a man, although it very well could be a woman. Think about it.......Heller seems to like to confuse the heck out of us, so why couldn't it be a woman? besides after seeing that seen when RJ saves Jane I sear I saw high heeled boots! and the hands look femmine.

Also I don not trust that "legit" list of the final 7 suspects! that was deliberate! I don't think any of them are RJ! 

So these are my theories.....

True or False...........?
