LATEST THEORIES

I think going by the previous episodes Red John has to be somebody who's
- male, probably older: his voice is male and it was mentioned that he's a little shorter than Jane
- part of the CBI since he's always aware of what's happening and is able to hack into the system every now and then...
- someone with many followers (also in the CBI and FBI), probably a great hypnotist (incognito) as well
- someone with a major superiority complex... a father figure with a soft voice (Stiles voice is too powerful) and in a high position
- someone who knows what Jane and Lisbon share... why else would he ask for Lisbon's body in season 4 finale...
- someone who lives alone without family so he can go unnoticed
- someone whom Jane knows since he prefers to wear a mask during their encounter

Why did Virgil Minelli leave after Boscos murder... to go fishing? I doubt if a CBI chief could really relax or retire early after a highly geared-up life full of action... seems strange... when the lady who killed Bosco was being questioned Minelli was also present there and seemed quite nervous.. he probably poisoned her and was hoping she'd die soon. He pretends to be very straightforward and resentful of Jane's methods but I think he's just playing games with him and is in league with Bret Stiles. He actually tries to act stupid most of the time... I even think he faked his voice every now and then when he was CBI chief.

The only reasons I chose to accuse Jane is, 1.) I had to choose someone and 2.) that was his voice coming from the back seat of the limo.

Of Course -  This would conflict with the fact that Jane was sitting in the passenger seat of the car.

Even if Jane doesn't end up being Red John, for some reason the producers used his voice as Red John in the finale of last season. 


My reasons for this are the following:

1.) Jane's voice rises in pitch during certain situations, and if you compare these instances to the RJ recording in the limo, they are identical. Everything from the tone, the manner of speaking/pronunciation, and over-all phonetic acoustics of the voice.

2.) I ran them through my voice recognition software (torrented), and although their pitches differ, they have identical baseline signatures. 


Conclusion

I don't believe Jane is Red John, but for some reason they used Simon Baker's voice in last season's finale.

I think it's Brett Partridge mosly because he's super creepy. I looks like a psycho killer. AND What are the odds that he'd end up working on 2 fake RJ crime scenes...? He and Jane also seem to really hate eachother, that could very well be that they're just faking they're hatred towards one another...

Okay. My best friend and I have decided that Lisbon is a reasonable suspect.  I think that it is Bret Stiles says that what Red John does is "a form of love." And Lisbon cares about Jane.  Maybe Lisbon was just trying to protect Jane.  None of Jane's tricks on Red John work, and he always tells Lisbon. It is logical but she seems so nice! So did O'Laughlin. Think about it.
