It's no secret that I watch lots of different police/investigation television programs, but one that I have recently been getting really invested in is The Mentalist. It's like a more serious version of Psych... but it's still funny... just not silly. I dunno, it's just awesome alright?
It's also like Monk in a sense because Patrick Jane (the "mentalist") has his own personal mission to hunt down the serial killer who murdered his wife and child (just like Monk with Trudy's killer). The name of this serial killer?
Red John
It's a great show guys, but when I watch too many of these programs I begin to see things in normal everyday life that I wouldn't normally see. Like walking through the school parking lot? I've got my car keys positioned to stab in case an offender pops out from underneath one of the cars. I've also become a lot better at reading body language when I'm people watching between classes.
Anyhow... I'm pretty sure that some of the things I think I'm noticing are a bit of stretch... but today?
I don't think I was imagining things.
You see, Red John feels that his kills are a work of art, and he the artistic genius. After killing his victims he draws a red smiley face on the wall in the victim's blood in a position where it will be the first thing seen. You see the face, and then you see the body. It's quite sick.
This is the signature face...
And today when I was picking up Travis from school I literally did a double take!
Could this be for real???
Red John...? At Basha High School??
You can't tell me I'm imagining things, this looks JUST LIKE the Red John face!
It seriously sent a little baby shiver down my spine. If only its artist knew what their masterpiece uncannily resembled.
