Hey folks.Heller is very smart man.There is chance that he is tricking us on this way.Kirkland and Partidge.I know too obvious and that.But thats the point.Heller thinks that we dont suspect on them becouse they are too obvious.But thats the point.Admit we will all be in shock if Kirkland or Partidge is RJ.He make them as main suspects and nobody think that some of them is RJ.So Heller could trick us good.And on today episode on video type we seen that RJ is angry.Seems like Partidge character but little more calmed.And dont forget RJ says:you will catch me or i will catch you.Thats all

I was wondering , he said at the begginning of the episode, that he concluded names of people he shook hands with AFTER his wife was murdered, what about people he knew BEFORE and it actually might be someone from his childhood, or im just stupid P:

I am very angry beacuse some of here so silly.

"The cards are up on the table and they're the real cards," Heller tells
TVGuide.com. "There is no sort of double twist. There's no more messing
around. We've been through all the twists and turns of plot, and we're
now getting to the truth. Only the truth gets revealed from now on in."

So, one of them (7 suspects) is the real Red John! There isn't trick. And he also said before Patrick Jane isn't Red John!!!!! Despite of there are more than 100 theory about Patrick Jane!!!! It's a shame!!

My opinion is, Brett Partridge or Gale Bertram is Red John. If the handshaking was true and we saw it, obviusly Gale Bertram is the nemezis serial killer.

But, my first guess is since end of the season 2: Brett Partrige is Red John.

I'am fine because:

"This is the final chase," Heller says. "We will know who Red John is
and we will catch him next season. Everything that has happened over
ther past five years will come to a head, and things will change
drastically. This is the biggest finale in terms of game-changing and
setting up for the last act of the Red John saga. This is as definitive
and revolutionary as you can get."

Eventhough Minelli isn't one of Jane's 7 suspects, I believe Jane is hiding his real list, and came up with a fake list which was some-what predictable that Red John could have guessed. The reason he didn't tell Lisbon his real list is because he thinks Lisbon is a terrible liar as he has mentioned many a time throughout the series. But anyway back to my theory of it being Minelli, in season one, it is very coincidental how Minelli leaves to go on holiday during Renfrew's death. This may be a bit far-fetched but hey. Furthermore, as Renfrew was dying he wrote "He is Mar" There has been some speculation saying that this could have been referring to Ellis Mars, however Jane and the team did not know of Ellis Mars until season 4 and frankly it would be difficult to identify a serial killer based on a second name this is quite popular. I think that Renfrew was trying to say "Marnelli" and Renfew being Renfrew spelt his name wrong.

One thing is certain to me that Jane planted that list on Red John (him smiling on seeing the misplaced tooth pick says it all).

According to the list it will look stupid if RJ is either one of Reede Smith or Sheriff McAllister.

Bret Stiles looks too old to fit as being RJ.

Bob Kirkland doesn't fits the bill as he has been made too certain to be guessed as RJ.

Ray Haffner - It doesn't seems like that he possesses the skills to be RJ. I'll be highly disappointed if he is revealed as RJ.

Now Brett Partridge looks a possibility, but again he also has been made too obvious to be guessed.
If I have to go by the list than my money is on Gale Bertram. His quoting the poetry (from the same writer or something) in one of the episodes can't be a co-incidence.

As I said that I believe that the list is fake, coz it's not Jane's list it's RJ's list.

So, this leaves us with only 3 possible suspects -

1. Jane's Father - I don't think that any father will do these kind of things to his son. So he's most unlikely to me. And also I think Jane will consider his father to be on the list.

2. Teresa Lisbon - "Keep your friends close and your enemy's closer" gives me odd vibes about her. The only thing which goes against her is the description by the blind lady. But I can't understand why RJ will leave a person alive who can explain his personality other than his own accomplices.

3. Patrick Jane - Too much references to the conscious and subconscious thing in the series makes him a highly possible suspect but I do think if that's to be the case
then Jane certainly doesn't knows about his subconscious personality.

So these are the suspects I can think of. Lets hope for a great last season because I don't want this series to have a flat ending. :)

This is short and sharp, I have proved it is Brett Partridge.

If you pause the red john murder scene when RJ slits her throat on the episode "His red right hand" when Jane said he makes a mistake, you can clearly identify that red john is Brett Partridge in the black hoodie. I have paused it on the right frame but I can't seem to be able to upload a photo on here. That's a shame, any suggestions on how I can share it?
