Who is Red John?

Theories of Armchair fan (1)

Jane's bulletin board at the end of episode 5/13 reveals that the Smiley Face Killer (Red John) killed a female victim in Clovis, California in 1982. Prior to this episode, it was believed Red John's first victim was killed in 1998. We now know of the Elliston Barn murders in 1988. Why did Jane not reveal to Lisbon and the CBI team that he knew of a Red John killing that occurred in 1982? Also, if Ray Haffner was 21 in 1988, he would have been 15 in 1982. Possible to be Red John, but unlikely.
