The Mentalist Season 6, Episode 4: Aunjanue Ellis returns as Madeleine Hightower
Aunjanue Ellis returns as Madeleine Hightower in The Mentalist Season 6, Episode 4. She reveals to Patrick Jane that FBI thinks he himself is Red John. (Fans in forum sites agree Bruno Heller is listening to them.) This tells Jane that Kirkland and his men broke into his attic quarters.
"Red Listed" explains why Bob Kirkland, also known as the man in the limo in the 100th episode of the series, has made Red John a Homeland case. It further explains why he has asked a suspected Red John suspect if he had seen him before. He's not the big bad Red. He wants revenge against the smiley-painting supervillain.
Could evil Reede Smith be Red John? It is believed Gale Bertram and Sheriff McAllister are with him in a secret organization called, "Tiger, Tiger." But it now appears as if none of these three is the real big bad Red. Instead, they are likely to be the next villains after Red John is caught.
