Red John is Max Winter!!!! So here is why I think Max Winter is Red John! I rewatched season 3 and currently in episode 4 where Max Winter was introduced. If you may recall Max winter's history, His wife was murdered in which her throat was also cut. And in this episode, when Jane meets Max in the guest room of the TV show Karen Cross, Jane did his deductive reasoning against Max but Jane is convinced that MW has a secret in which makes him calm or confident. MW also talks about reconciliation about the murderer of his wife but Jane thinks that is bullshit. So, what makes MW calm and feels like he doesnt have to seek revenge? It is because he is Red John and probably the killer of his own wife. Also, his job as a businessman and a construction manager (probably cutiron properties? ). He isnt in the list because he didnt shook hands with Jane but he gave him a gift. A gun. In which he used to kill the RJ impersonator in the end of season 3. 

Anyway, I saw a theory that almost share the same thoughts with me, so i think you should just read it.

I think Brett Partridge is RJ but I don't
think 'Brett' is his real name. I'm thinking he changed his name and
chose 'Brett' due to a connection with Visualise - either simply in
homage to Stiles or because he is Brett Stiles's son. The surname -
Partridge - could be a reference to the painting 'A Brace of Partridge'
by William Blake (who also wrote Tyger, Tyger)
