I notice that 5 disbeelever fools dont trust in my. Master Lees, extremely good knowledge of crime and solving complex investigations.  I am very intelligence super smart man much like the criminal master mind Chow but very very very much smarter indeed.  Chow is a not as smart as me Korean and MAster Lee, me, is from China.  I am much bigger stronger and more handsome manlier than Chow and most if not all of you for that matter,  Now back to matter at hand, who is red jon and it is Chow.  Chow is so smart he has all you big dummies like rigby so fooled.  he did masterful trickery and was made to have jane secretely remove the name of Chow from the list of both the fake red jon list and the list of patrick jane.  Only one man smarter and that is me master Lee who discovered the trick and was not fooled one bit like the rest of you dummies.  i think all other guesses can be deleted from this board as i am right and mine is scientific and almost magic not a guess.  i have far stronger mental powers to solving crime.  it is as obvious plain as day to a trained eye and ear like me, master lee but to you it just seems like you everyday foolish guesswork that you write on this page.  Chow is Red jon and if you cant see that I will do my best to give you a proper education schooling as the american school sytem as failed but the mighty chinese detective, master lee has solved this crime and the makers of the show are probably scrmabling to figure out how I found out the closely held secret of chow being the red jon killman,.  how could one man be so smart you ask yourself and i stand before you as a master detective solving many crimes and blowing the lid of of this crime by exposing the true thief and murdered Mr. Chow.  you stand in amazement of my detective skills but all is not lost on you as you may serve as a fan and follower of the great master detective , master lee who exposes the criminal mastermind cho only to find that he has become seocnd mastermind to the Great mastermind, mast lee, me.  I use mus mastermind magic powers for good and crime solving.  Heller thought he could outsmart everyone but I stand as example that this could not be done.  I have solved crime so season 6 can be cancelled.  i am sorry ive let the cat into the bag and ruined it for all of you lesser intelligent amateurs;.

I thinks that Red Jon is Gumball Chow.  He is always read the books at the scene of crime and not paying much attention mainly because he already commit crimes and now in a good place to cover evidence up with his ole pal dummy rigby who is just a yes man follower to red jon chow.  Chow is the man who Red jon.  All the facts point to case that chow has been working to establish the crimes and many outcomes that wil prove and show beyond the normal shadow of doubt that he is in fact red jon. Chow is definitely the killer of many and this will show in season 6 once it starts.  Chow is so smart he manipulates everything to get his name rempve from the red jon suspect list.  this is how smart chow is.  Chow is very smart ancient chinese scret.  chow is very smart manipulative killer he has all of you fool.  only one man is smarter than red jon chow and that is me, Master Lee who figure out this crme.  I could be detective.  the rest of you are dummies like rigby.

I just wanted to point out that the actor who plays Ray Haffner is Reed Smith. Reed is so close to Red. Mere coincidence or a clue?

I don't have a lot to add to what's already on here but I feel like Brett Partridge is the most likely - probably unlucky with women so acts out a hatred, we don't know much about his past, just generally a bit creepy. But I have another question. If Rosalind Harker has met, and of course talked to, Red John, can't they play her a tape of the 7 suspects speaking? He could get interrogation tapes from most of them, record Brett Partridge at the next crime scene, play one of Brett Stile's speeches etc. I'm assuming he spoke to her in his 'normal' voice as who would help out somebody who spoke in Red John's creepy voice!

my theory for who is red john is may or may not be Brett Partridge, but he meets some of the criteria of the serial killer. In the last episode of season two, patrick jane encouter red john who is wearing a mask, but it may not be red john, if it is red john we can see he is male in his late 30's because in season 5 we found out red john started killing in the late 1980 when he was still a young man and now we can assume he is a slightly older man in his late 30s to early 40s and was a member of visualize. He is also able to manipulate people mostly women who have sleep with him so he can be rather handsome and a lady killer. So we can eliminate Bret Stiles and Sheriff Mcallister because they're quite old and may not be able to sexually active. We can also eliminate Reede Smith because he is too fat because as you can remember in the last episode of season two red john is a slim figure who has a rather raspy voice. So it leave us with three suspect for who is red john it can be Ray Haffner, Brett Partridge, and Robert Kirkland. But remember what color is red john eyes in the last episode of season two.

For the record, my brother thinks Red John is Patrick Jane, and it did seem plausible, until I read some of the the other "theorists" feedback. Originally, I thought Red John was the red headed spiritual advisor, but I now move my theory to Grace van Pelt. She acts too innocent- and as Johnn Depp would say - "Evil wears many masks, but none so dangerous as the mask of virtue." She's always around, so sweet, has red hair, and she knows where Patrick Jane is on the Red John investigation. She would have the "last laugh", if it's not Patrick Jane. I have nothing to base it on, really, except gut. I haven't rewatched any of the episodes. But, I welcome feedback and if anyone can prove / disprove my theory let me know.
