What was Jane burning in the episode?
The list is in Jane's head, he wouldn't have a physical copy of it. Which leads me to believe the list he does have is fake to flush out Red John.

Robert 'Bob' Kirkland is an accomplice of Red John
Jane is MORE clever than Red John and knew something would happen to his list so he planted a fake list knowing someone would take it and whoever takes it IS an accomplice of Red John.
Jane wanted someone to take the list so Red John would feel safe because he would know he is not on the list.
This is why Jane was smiling when he saw the toothpick on the floor because he then realised someone had broke in and his plan is now in motion.
I think its Ray Haffner is RJ, Firstly Styles is to involved to bed RJ, he and Jane have a specal relationship and i'd want RJ to be a shock to the audience. Bertram may be involved but i dont think he has the intelligence to fit the persona. Brett Partdridge again is a good dummy for the audience, hes perfect for the suspect, voice, heigh and age. i think he's a helper to RJ but no more. Ray has been involved from the beginning but we havent seen alot of him, hes part of the FBI team, one of which was an accomplice to RJ (Van pelt BF). Im sure alot that watch him ge a weird vibe off him. There's a scene where he tries to lure Lisbon onto his new project, she seems to be onto him and i think she may be the one to get him.
Clearly the series has gone on too long to end with a simple "it's one of the seven suspects" finale. I think Jane is insane, i think he has a multiple personality disorder that means he is Red John but at the same time he honestly doesen't know who red john is. As for the fact that Martins said he shook red John's hand and the fact that Red Johns accomplices never recognize him as being red John those are easily surmountable pieces of evidence that point against him. How does Red John know about his childhood memories? How does Red John always stay one step ahead of him? Its simple, Red John lives in Jane's subconscious. However there is one thing that leads me to be contrary to this belief and that is with regards to my suspicions related to lisbon. The fact that at the begninning othe season finale she is asked what happen to her hand and no answers are given was dropped in by the writers on purpose. However as with jane there is the whole thing regarding the handshake. I have a very strong feeling that that was just a huge red-herring dropped by the writers in order to fool unwitting spectators.
Here is my theory. After watching the finale, Heller gave us some dead clues.
-- Red John is someone in Jane's past. Someone he grew up with during the circus days. This was revealed through some past video during the season finale.
-- Red John killed a person in Jane's past. Not from the recent past, but a childhood friend. Jane mentions to Lisbon that Jane has not seen her in over 30 years. The last time Jane saw her was when he was 12 years old.
-- Red John knows Jane's secret in which Jane has never told a soul about until the finale episode.
So with those clues, I think we have an entire new list of suspects that are not in the 7 that CBS mentioned. If we are looking at Jane's childhood than we are looking at only a few faces.
Bret Stiles is old enough. But he doesn't have the look of a killer.
JJ LaRouche is a perfect age, but is too large. In the episode where Red John shows his shadow we see him as a average built man.
Bertram doesn't fit it because he's too naive and honestly doesn't have the motive to being a serial killer. Bertram is working with Red John that's not a question, but him being Red John isn't.
That leaves very few people left, I personally think it's someone that Jane knew when he was a young kid. The only person I honestly can think of it now is SEAN BARLOW who was in the finale tonight. He had that swagger about him, as well as had the build and the height. He was also incredibly clever and even got Lisbon's head.
I do not think the writes from start had a clew who Red John was going to be, so they were making the story as they were going when they found that red John was popular. I might be wrong in this theory but I have some experience with show writers. So looking at clews in much earlier episodes seams pointless to me. Nevertheless I do think there is a possibility this character to be someone who knows Patrick well, someone he will never suspect or we will never suspect. So I exclude all the characters that it is too obvious to be since this will be a let down form the writers and show producers. We should look elsewhere.
Having said all that I must say that the last episode gave me a clue that it is almost too good to be true. Red John is Patrick's father. Now I do not know why I got this feeling since I'm not sure what has happen to his father besides the info the episode gives away but in the great Hollywood tradition it is always a father and son universe. Think Darth Vader-Luke skywalker duo, so why not here too. Now why a father will have the sons wife and daughters killed I have no idea and I can't explain, though I think they can find a reason to cover it if they wish to be creative.
I have a gut feeling that it's Teresa Lisbon. In the episode "Red John
Rules", at the very beginning when Lisbon checks up on Jane, Janes asks
about her hand. She says, "She tripped". Is this a clue that she
murdered Aileen the night before or maybe that same day. Then there's
the relationship between Lisbon and Jane. Doesn't it seem like they have
secret crushes on each other, right? Well, maybe it's really much more
than that. Maybe Lisbon is really obsessed with Jane. Maybe she has been
obsessed with Jane even before they knew each other. Maybe she used to
watch his show and became fatally attracted to Jane or just hated him
for being such a fake and a fraud but obsessed at the very same time.
She wanted him all to herself so she killed his wife and daughter. Maybe
it's deeper than that. Maybe it's related to Lisbon's alcoholic father
and something linked to Jane that hasn't been revealed yet. Maybe Jane
used some kind of psychotherapy/hypnotherapy on Lisbon's father that
caused him to commit suicide and that's why Lisbon punished Jane by
killing his family. That could be a possibility. Now, they work together
which makes so much sense especially because she's always a step ahead
of Jane. "Keep you friends close and your enemies closer"... sound
familiar? Now, later in the episode, when they meet Mr. Barlow there's
another clue about Lisbon. Barlow knows that Lisbon is a believer. That
she has faith and believes in the supernatural so that means she
understands that the psychic world is real and maybe she's the one who
possesses such powers. Barlow visits the mind of Lisbon and he read that
she's in love with Jane but "love" can be interpreted in many different
ways... obsession, fatal attraction, love to hate, etc. Now, in the end
when they reveal the "7", it would make complete sense that Lisbon is
not among those 7. She has seen Jane's poster boards and she has 24/7
access to their department. Maybe she made the vid herself and she's
just playing mind games with Jane.
