Who is Red John

The cult of Red John is made up of a lot of people, but there is one leader. Is he Kirkland? or is He Heffner? Because Bertram, Smith, and McCallister are out. Partridge is dead, and Stiles is too old. What was telling in that scene was the following: McCallister had no clue how far Jane has gotten..."What is this?" was his words.

Smith was exetremely interested in what Jane knows, and with that an obvious RJ accomplice. Bertram is very close to the leader of the Red John cult and so he know's that Jane is close, but I believe the leader has reassured him, but to keep close watch on Jane. This is how Bertram knew that "Jane's getting close",(In Bertram's and RJ's mind "or thinks he is getting close" (from episode 1)

I think that Haffner is RJ now...He has an arrogance around him. He is connected with Stiles through visualize, and he evaded the question as to if he was at the farm. He didn't deny it with exact words nor did he affirm. In episode 2 he was seen with Bertram at the beginning of the show in the office...that maybe how he got information that Lisbon was ok, and where she was, but also a follow up on the murder of BP, but that is speculation..he was just shown with no dialog.

As far as Kirkland goes..we will have to wait till the 4th episode to see Kevin Corrigan again, as it seems on the tracker from episode 1 he was in Los Angeles, or at least his main cell phone was.

The 2 closest to BP when he was killed: Bertram, and Haffner...

It will be interesting to find out about McCallister this coming sunday..Jane on a roof with the sheriff hovering over him like a hunter...

Okay...from the top: Patridge is finally out. That leaves 6. But all 6 are working in concert. Jane(We) will find the reason Patridge dies in episode 4. Rigsby and Vanpelt are killed in episode 3, and in the next episode Bertram is in a meeting with: Haffner, R. Smith, and McCalister. In the preview someone asks "What does Jane know?" and Bertram answer's with: "That is the question..."

So that and with last season's meetings with Bertram and Kirkland make this whole thing point at Kirkland being the ring leader, and you are probably right about Stile's son..whom is probably Kirkland...

When does Kirkland come back in? Or Stiles for that matter?

Personally I believe the original Red John could be dead. I
believe Patrick Jane killed the real Red John years ago and now either is aware
that he is Red John because he was sent truly insane by his wife and child’s
murder or that he has created the alter-ego so that he has something to live
for; the pursuit of revenge. I don’t think either idea is outlandish or
far-fetched given the subject matter of Jane’s abilities to anticipate and
manipulate human behaviour.

Also, whether
Jane being Red John is believable or not to people, how can we account for Red
John’s obsession with Jane? Before Jane’s family was murdered Red John was a
notorious and prolific killer, since then his murders are few and far between,
and most of them surround Jane’s life or people who are getting too close to
his identity. Red John, since Jane’s wife and child were killed, has not acted
like a serial killer; more like someone with a different agenda entirely. His
whole world seems to revolve around Patrick Jane and vice versa. Why is this? Before
Red John killed his family Jane was basically a con man and had no real
discernible history that would make Red John think he was the ultimate
‘opponent’ so why would Red John dedicate himself to Jane’s misery so devoutly?
If it is to test himself, then he has proved time and again that he is elusive
to Jane and CBI so what does he have left to prove? The semantics of Jane being
Red John may be convoluted but the motives of Red John fit only with the idea
that he is Jane himself, in my humble opinion.
