LATEST THEORIES

Ok.  Here's another theory of mine.  This time instead of Minelli I wanna go with Haffner but only in a halfway sense.  When Red John first started out he had a partner named Orville Tanner.  Who's to say Red John doesn't always keep a partner around during his killings?  When Red John was talking to Patrick he had both hands free.  Of course you could say he was holding the phone with his shoulder/ear or bluetooth but for the sake of this theory I'm going to say there were two guys there.  One is the voice/mind of Red John and the other does his dirty work/killing.  Haffner does the dirty work since his voice sounds nothing like him and.......Sean Barlow or Virgil Minelli is the voice/mind/brains.  Someone else posted this really cool vid on youtube about Haffner.  Watch it.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EECBjnasoEk&list=WLLSLLkh0wPJZ10LsEC2rwJHk3shVxfvVi

Since I am media, I have already watched Episode 8, "Red John"

I am willing to reveal who Red John is, by a show of hands. The most plausible checks will win the reveal. The most unlikely checks will keep things secret until Sunday. It's up to all of you! Voting will end at 5PM. Have fun!

When Kirkland asked Jason Lennon, "Do you recognize me," he found out his twin had altered his appearance. Michael Kirkland was "corrupted" by RJ when he BECAME RJ when he was part of Visualize. Now, he looks like someone else, and has a new name. That someone is one of the dead suspects from the explosion. I'm betting it's McAllister. He faked his death by placing Robert Kirkland's body under or in the house, with the bomb, so "his" DNA would be found among the dead.
I think he goes to the church intending to gloat, then kill PJ, knowing Bertram is on the hook for being RJ. Somehow, that doesn't work out in the church.

Bertram, McAllister and Shawn Barrlow - none of them is Red John. I know that someone almost bald is shown in promo, and it can be one of them (McAllister can be alive since he was standing next to Bertram and Reede and they weren't hurt, DNA tests can be fake), but they are not Red John. 

Rosalind said that RJ had straight hair, and three man mentioned above are bald with no ability to grow hair again. + Sophie said RJ is middle aged and at least McAllister, but in my opinion also Barlow do not fit this descriptions. 

Kirkland is dead and there are no doubts to it. 

Reede is apparently not RJ, we know for sure after The Red Dragon episode.

Stiles does not match the RJ profile at ALL and i never suspected him.

For a little while I thought Partridge can be RJ, because his voice was quite matching, and Cho didn't check face of the body at morgue in 6x07, but then i figured that:

- RJ is too smart not to modify his voice
- we heard his voice few seasons ago, so Jane would recognize his voice a long time ago
- Patridge looks too young to me
- he seems to be dead

After all that said I have no idea who RJ is. The only options left are:

- it's no one from the list (Yes, I know what Heller said but he can be messing with us)
- it's Micheal Kirkland but that seems soooo illogical and cheap and stupid ending, i would be VERY dissappointed with an ending like that

I can't wait for the big suprise on Sunday!!
