LATEST THEORIES

   I Think Red John will be revealed probably to be Brett Partridge :
          Reasons are:
Heller's assessment of Brett partridge:

Brett Partridge (Jack Plotnick): "You've always got to be suspicious of the nerds," Heller cautions. "He's both a slightly embittered soul and a very intelligent person. Someone who feels they've been underestimated, underrated and mistreated by the world. Demographically, he's right there where a profiler would say, 'Yeah.'" As far as his career choice as a forensic investigator, "That's exactly the kind of job that a serial killer would want to take up. That's exactly the interests that a serial killer would have. [But] he always appears slightly weedy. Is he concealing strength or is he really that flaccid a person? It's hard to tell."

         Brett Stiles is maybe related to Brett Partridge in some way, which not only explains his Red John's connection to Visualize, but also explains why there are so many important people involved in covering up Red John's Trail.

         Bob Kirkland is secretly connected to both Red John and Brett Stiles through Visualize. Bob Kirkland also masterminded what will be eventually revealed to be the phony death of Lorelei Martins, and the information he collected on Jane is what allowed Red John to produce the tape that seemed to suggest a psychic prediction of Jane's suspect list prior to her death, when in fact that tape was made more recently.

        I accept the idea that "Brett Partridge is Red John",if Bruno Heller tells us the true side         of Partridge, I mean the mysterious side: intelligence, management and influence on           people.

I feel sorry for those who still think Patrick is Red John, you guys really need to see a doctor! Simon Baker and Bruno Heller have both said Patrick is not Red John, and Red John is someone on the list, and he is a person, not an organization. It's not Mashburn, Lisbon, Van Pelt, Jane's father, or Cho! Grow up please!

With all due respect guys, some theories are as stupid and ignorant as it can get. Please think a minute before you post a theory and respect the readers. Please know most who come here are fans and know enough to see how nonsensical your claims are. At this point claiming Patrick is Red John is a direct insult to visitors of this website.

Jane could have done this subconsciously, his mind is intricate enough for this to happen. We all like him but it can't be denied he's manipulative. I think that during his subconscious phases where he resorts to being Red John he has arranged with people plans. I think his seven main people for these kinds of arrangements are the same seven people he has put into his final suspect list.
There are lots of reasons for Jane being Red John, read any of the other theories they're more or less the same. But what really makes me suspect him is the show itself and they way it picks its killers. They always throw lots of obvious suspects at you with reasons that make perfect sense but it always ends up being the person you like or sympathise with the most that turns out to be the killer. Out of every single character in the show Patrick Jane is the most beloved, in their mind he's the ultimate final answer to this case. Oh, and I just love the idea of him naming his seven suspects/helpers each after the seven deadly sins.

This is a longshot but I watched and listened to Lorelei read the
list over and over.  While she read most of the names on the list with a certain rhythm, she
hesitated slightly while reading Haffner's name.  I feel this may have
been her attempt to give Patrick one final clue before Red John ended
her life.  Don't know, but I am sure anxious to find out!

My money's on Kirkland.  Kirkland is the only one who had access to Patrick's data so he could have deduced the same list that Patrick had compiled.   I feel either he IS Red John or is a Red John informant.
