<p>So, then ... </p><p>I think Jane's dad, Alex Jane, makes the best serial killer Red John-- colorful and we have an interesting background probably including time at Visualize. Plus, Alex Jane pretty well matches the old RJ descriptions. </p><p>But, Jason Lennon (the womens' shelter killer guy Jane catches and Lorelei shoots the last time Jane and Lorelei meet) is a good prospect, too. </p><p>Either way, the old Red John has been killed off; the serial killer RJ is out of the game. </p><p>.
I'm sticking with Lorelei as 'Red John' working for the FBI to nail the Tiger Tiger group. </p><p>- Lorelei's death was faked & Jane knew it. </p><p>- The 'list of RJ suspects' came from Lorelei. Jane knew that, too. So, he accepted it as his list and pretended to be amazed by RJ's psychic powers. </p><p>BTW: The business of Lorelei torturing and killing Julia Howard (the woman who ran the womens' shelter) for information about the killing of Lorelei's sister? That was faked-- an FBI setup to deflect interest in Lorelei as 'Red John' and FBI. The fact that it 'happened' to be filmed by a hidden home security cam is the giveaway. </p><p>Lorelei's connection to Jane?  Lorelei is "Carmen", the sick little girl who shows up in a flashback to Jane's carney days with his dad (in episode "Throwing Fire).  The 'ancient crystal' (maybe with extra help from Patrick) worked! Carmen got well and grew up with fond memories of that carney boy named "Patrick Jane". </p><p>As the FBI's 'Red John', Lorelei easily walked in and out of federal prisons when she wished. </p><p>Lorelei built the 'Red John' organization depending mostly upon women recruited from shelters. Always presenting herself as Red John's trusted agent, she made sure her agents were well supported. (The agent who gave Jane the video and later took poison? Faked. Easy for the FBI. No telling how many other deaths of 'Red John'-Lorelei agents were faked.) </p><p>When I mentioned the FBI-Lorelei = 'Red John' idea to someone (named "Stoopkid") a few days back, he commented "the Blue Bird herself". </p><p>Darn interesting thought.  (Maybe, even, psychic!)  Fits so well. Lorelei's FBI code name could be "Blue Bird". That would mean Heller used the name of 'Red John' for the final episode! </p><p>.
I think Haffner is head of Tiger Tiger. So, maybe, Lorelei ends up shooting him to save Jane. </p><p>The 3-dot tattoo? Bet it's a red herring-- probably some harmless Law enforcement fraternity. So, McAllister and Bertram are not Tiger Tiger; may be that they are totally innocent. </p><p>.
No telling about the 'Jisbon' thing; may work out nicely as far as it goes. But, once Jane wakes up it will poof; and, Lisbon will know nothing about it. </p><p>Should be a good conclusion. </p>
