Who is Red John?

Theories of jmdemoss (2)

If Heller goes for the logical then we are left with 2 choices: Bret Stiles or Gale Bertram. Kirkland wants RJ to boost his career. Haffner was too easily fooled by Jane. McAllister also when they played Paper, Scissors, Stone. Reede Smith is too vague. Partridge too obvious but was in the Pilot episode. However, as brought up earlier by others, surely Heller should've had actual on-screen hand shakes for the Lorelei clue right!? If so, just Haffner and Bertram shook Jane's hand but Lorelei was incarcerated when Kirkland shook Jane's hand. She'd not know about him shaking hands. So, Stiles has never shook Jane's hand and that leaves Bertram. Recites Blake, was at the scene of Johnson murder, sounded like RJ and called Jane The Boy Wonder (thus knowing Jane's Carny past) so he is the logical choice. Thoughts?

Here's my 2 cents worth. I can't imagine that the show's writers / producers would have any of the regular CBI crew (cho / van pelt / rigsby / lisbon / jane) be part of Red John's network. It would make rerun's in future syndication seem weird if one of those characters is helping Jane solve crimes and the viewer knows already that one of them is a criminal........I say RJ is either Partridge, Kirkland or Ardiles with no CBI regular being part of RJ's network.
