Who is Red John?

Theories of Falsely (1)

Recently, I have been 95% sure that RJ is Haffner and equally sure that he isn't Stiles. Episode 6 make me think opposite, haffners behaviour with Lisbon in the cafe made me think he's definitely not RJ, far too weak. Stiles pairing the 'clown' face on the woman at the ritual made me think it had to be him.

Then, when the other three suspects had the tattoos, I ended the episode thinking it must be one of them. However it doesn't really add up having one of these three as RJ. Sure, they're all portrayed to be creepy and sinister..but why would they need to send a PI to infiltrate Cho et al, when they could just big lisbons office, having inside access and all. It would seem to me that these three suspects are together, bound together by something due to their meet ups etc, but that none of them really fit Rosalind's description or have RJs intelligence levels.

Let's not forget that during these 'reveal' sessions the PJ stages, he is usually a few steps ahead of the pack, including us. I think he knows the three suspects he ordered to stand up are not RJ, and that's why he seperated them from the group. He probably wanted to give stiles and Haffner false confidence that Jane is not on their trail.

The explosion: let's not forget that jane used to perform trickery. Could the explosion be a diversion or something jane put in place to seperate everybody, disappear with brett and Haffner?

Look at Brett stiles , so nurturing towards janes investigating. Almost fatherly, he acts as janes mentor, kindly pointing out to him with interest that Bertram & FBI guy had the tattoos too. Perhaps him and stiles have a connection that jane is not aware of? Haffner carries out the acts of RJ , unbeknownst to father figure stiles..he's doing it for recognition/attention from stiles.

The visualize connection is just too strong!!!
