Who knows who red John is? The writers, Simon baker perhaps? The truth is, we don't know enough about the characters to have a suspect. Most suspects have limited screen time and you know nothing about backgrounds. You are even limited to the background of Jane himself. From James mouth himself, himself and red John are showmen, and from Lorelei, Jane and rj are very similar. So you would theorize red John is a mentalist of some sorts. With that theory, you have Patrick Jane, along with that one fraud psychic guy, Ellis Mars, Brett Stiles, and with Linus Wagner being a psychiatrist, as face value mentalists. Then you have known visualize members, Brett stiles, Jason Cooper, Ray Haffner.
Next, how does Red John meet his accomplices? Rebecca, truly devoted and damaged. Todd Johnson, great family and loving father who was a police officer. Craig olaughlin, played in the nfl, FBI agent. Red John has someone in the FBI. The bomb guy, owns a convenience store, religious. Lorelei Martins. Sister killed by Rj. Red Nohn knew she had been physically abused by her boyfriend. With that said, being in law enforcement, a religios organization, or therapist is going to have to be the key. Why hasn't he killed Janes team? Why is he so attracted to Jane? Truth is, we dont know enough without making guesses.
Bob Kirkland does not have an attachment to Mirands Martins. He asked for info about run before Miranda Martins was killed. I think Kirkland has an attachment to Jane. Maybe even family, but I'm just guessing. I love the show, but I'm thinking it will have to change the format to be good next year. To end this, red John had killed no one unattached to Jane in a few years, so he has evolved into a cat and mouse game with Patrick. Why has he stopped doing what he does? All very interesting. I'm just going to say that Bruno Heller is Red John.
