"The simplest answer is usually the right answer" - Patrick Jane
Bret Stiles- He's 70 years old. To old to be Red John. The man that attacked miss blonde the other night wasn't a 70 year old man. The man who attacked her was pretty strong and unless Bret Stiles has kept himself in amazing shape I dont see him being able to do that. He knows who Red John is but out of fear and loyalty wont reveal Red John is. Lastly I think Sophie Miller would have recognized who Bret Stiles was when she met him. Brett Stiles- Not Red John.
Brett Partridge, Walter Mashburn, Michael Kirkland and any other person not on this list is not Red John. I repeat none of them are Red John.
Gale Bertram, Reede Smith and Tom McAllister- The person who attack blonde had a head full of hair so obviously that eliminates Bertram. Also I dont think Bertram would be able to run the CBI, be a part of this group and be Red John at the same time. Gale Bertam- Not Red John.
Reede Smith- Red John is known for being cool, calm and collective. Reede Smith is known for being a loose cannon with a bad temper. Red John is also has a slender build. Reede does not. Reede Smith is obviously the muscle of the Tyger Tyger group and does some of the dirty work for them. That, working for the FBI and still being able to be Red John would be almost impossible to pull off. Reede Smith- Not Red John.
Tom McAllister- Is the Napa valley Sheriff. Does anybody know how far it is from Las Angelas to Napa Valley? It takes you exactly six hours and that's one way. Most of the murders if Im correct have been in the Los Angeles area. So basically McAllister would need 12 hours to drive there and back plus whatever time it would take for him to commit the murder and draw the smiley on the wall. So add another hour or so. Dont you think the Napa Valley Sheriff's Department would notice a bunch of days where their sheriff has been gone all day long??? He like Bertram is balding and is 57 years old. That in my opinion is to old to be Red John. He also seems to be a part of this Tyger Tyger group. Tom Mcallister-Not Red John
Ray Haffner- While many of you say he isn't smart enough to be Red John let me remind you that Bertram needed janes help to win at poker, Jane beat McAllister at rock, paper, scissor multiple times and Bret Stiles needed Jones help to beat a murder rap. So everybody in some way appears not smart enough to be Red John. Ray Haffner has a knowledge of wiretaps and surviellance. Probably how he knew about Jane's list of suspects. Also with that type of knowledge he would know how to set up fake accounts just like Red John does. Haffner is also a member of Visualize and a possible protege of Bret Stiles. Sophie Miller wouldn't have recognized who Haffner is and that is key. Haffner fits the Red John perfectly and if you watch closely always seems to be jealous of Patrick. He's in love with Teresa and that's why he didn't kill her. Ray Haffner is RED JOHN...
Ok so many of you are wondering why Red John would have used a P.I and a $300 bug to bug the CBI. Its called a trap. Red John knows time is running out so while it may look like he's being careless I would almost bet that he's set up one last trap for Jane. I mean there is an explosion in the next episode people.
