His main focus is on the cases involving Red John or Red John copycats. Jane subsequently abandoned his career and teamed with the CBI, using his skills to help them solve various crimes. Red John, angered by the perceived slight, murdered Jane's wife and his young daughter in revenge. Five years before the events in the show's pilot episode, he appeared on television to claim that his paranormal abilities helped the police profile a serial killer named Red John. The real reason for Jane's involvement with law enforcement is to track down the serial killer known as Red John, who was responsible for the brutal murders of his wife, Angela Ruskin Jane, and his daughter, Charlotte Anne Jane.īefore the murders, Jane had a lucrative career as a con man, successfully posing as a psychic medium and enjoyed near-celebrity status.

Although not an officer of the law, he uses his skills from his former career as a successful, yet admittedly fraudulent, psychic medium to help a team of CBI agents solve murders. The series follows Patrick Jane, an independent consultant for the California Bureau of Investigation (CBI) based in Sacramento, California.
