Ok folks im going to blow this case right out of the water so read and learn.
1) Red John is not Walter Mashburn, Van Pelt, Ellis Mars or any other dumb people you keep accusing. So please stop with those crazy ass theories cause they make no sense and are a waste of time and space.
2) Brett Partridge is not RedJohn. He is dead. Plotnick and Heller both confirmed it. Give it up already.
3) Micheal Kirkland is not Red John. Jason Cooper knew who RedJohn was. Dont you think that when he saw Bob Kirkland he would have recognized him or his brother as RedJohn??
4) Tom McAllister is not Red John. Red John while visiting Ms. Harker was wearing a suit and drank tea just like Patrick. We have only seen McAllister in his uniform and nothing else. Also does McAllister look like the tea drinking type? He looks like more like a guy who would drink a cold beer at the end of the day kind of guy dont you think? As far as him being scared of pidgeons goes thats a red herring people. You would react the same exact way if a bird came swooping at your head. It doesn't mean anything. Also it appears that McAllister is part of this Tyger Tyger group.
5) Gale Bertam and Reede Smith are also part of the Tyger tyger group along with McAllister and Partridge. It would be very hard for Bertram to run the CBI, secretly run this Tyger Tyger group and still have time to be RedJohn. Same can also be said for Reede Smith. It would be very hard to do you job at the FBI, take care of the dirty work in the Tyger tyger group, have time to be Red John and not slip up and get caught. So Bertram and Reede Smith are not Red John.
6) Bret Stiles is not Red John. For one thing he is to old and doesnt match the physical description of RedJohn. Second he is the leader of Visualize and very recognizable. So Sophie Miller would have known who he was and would have also known who Gale Betram was for that matter. Stiles knows who Red John is but is to scared to reveal anything. His teachings and being in Visualize made RedJohn who he is today.
7) Raymond Haffner aka "RED JOHN". Haffner fits the physical description of Red John. He has a knowledge of wiretaps and different kind of servalliance but he was an FBI and CBI agent. He wears a very nice suit all the time. Just like Red John did visiting Ms. Harker. He's a very charming and good looking man. Red John is known for manipulating people into doing anything he wants. A nurse accidently goes to the wrong room lookng for a "Carmen Lee". Then Haffner comes to visit Lisbon? Coincidence? I dont think so. Haffer is a member of Visualize so who knows all of their techniques. When asked if he was at the Elliston farm is 1988 he ignores the question. He tried to get Lisbon to join his security agency and obviously has a thing for her. Red John after kidnapping her instead of killing her paints a clown face on her. He asked Cho if he thought Patrick was smarter than him like is was a game or something. Red John and Patrick's relationship is like a game.
People it's Obvious that Haffner is RedJohn. Everything fits perfectly. Those of you will say that Haffner isnt smart enough to be RedJohn. Its called acting and not drawing any suspicion to yourself. Bertam for example in front of Patrick quotes a William Blake poem. Do you really think somebody as smart as Red John would tell Patrick the Tyger tyger poem and then turn around and quote another William Blake poem right in front of Patrick and not thing Patrick would catch it?? Raymond Haffner has never done anything to make himself look suspicious. He's to smart for that. RAY HAFFNER IS RED JOHN. ^_^
