Wasn't it weird that Lisbon called for back up, but somehow it got cancelled? My guess is Ron called it off and he's one of RJ's pawns

I was really disappointed when Brett Partridge was the first to go :( I thought he was the only suspect who showed enough intelligence and hidden demented fantasy to be a convincing Red John... plus I just don't like the aggressive and bureaucratic nature of the next most popular suspects, doesn't seem to make a good fit for Red John in my opinion.
Plus, I thought the 'Here enters Red John' scene way back when made a brilliant entrance/clue!
Anyway!
Does anyone find it weird that, while Patrick is talking to Red John in the first episode this season, the voice of RJ is not 'distorted' when it cuts the the shot of him wiping off the linoleum knife? We know he has to be using a voice changer while talking over the phone (and was wearing a mask when he first confronted Patrick), plus a few comparisons on youtube show it might be Simon doing some of the voices albeit pitch-altered, but the voice as he is wiping the blade sounds very natural. Is it possible he is simply changing the tone of his voice without assistance?
- Spoilers Ahead - The clue that Bruno heller was referring to is 666 the number of the beast which red john possibly uses to hypnotize his accomplices thus making them unable to reveal his name now considering that the sea beast is red john read this " And that no man might buy or sell save that he had the mark or the name of the beast ( his real name ) or the number of the beast " meaning that his accomplices can't reveal his name unless they had his mark or his name or his number which still sounds confusing it's also still interesting that heller chose the last suspects as 7 ( now 6 ) which is the number of the sea beast heads this supports the theory that red john is not one person but a group of people but it's unlikely considering what's been revealed so far personally I believe that brett partridge is not dead and to further support that read this " and I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death and his deadly wound was all healed and all the world wondered after the beast " and maybe one of the seven heads is red john while the others are his accomplices which he cannot operate without them as to how red john knew about jane's happy memory it's because of jane's therapist which will be murdered next episode this could also explain the carnival theme in Lorelei death scene and painting a clown face on Lisbon maybe she told red john that clowns ( or maybe a particular one ) were a bad memory of Patrick as to Bertram and Kirkland suspicious conversation last season it's probably related to something other than red john Bruno heller said that Bertram could be either a good or bad guy with agenda so he is somehow deeply involved in a cbi corruption case which would make up the remainder of season 6 after red john saga ends . To cut it short red john name is related to the number 666 and to be more precise it is also also mentioned in revelations his number is his name so maybe it's related to the alphabetical order in which the sixth letter is f and the only suspect who has the letter f in his name is Haffner this is of course pure speculation but I think red john is the one of the last suspects to be investigated by Patrick which excludes Bertram reede smith mccallister partridge ( two of which will make an appearance next episode ) which leaves brett stiles ( definitely related somehow to red John ) Bob Kirkland ( could either be red John , chasing him , or a close accomplice or even involved in the cbi corruption ) and Raymond haffner - I'm 100 percent sure of what I wrote next there is no other explanation - in addition it is also mentioned in revelations that there are two beasts the sea beast and the one who speaks like a dragon the sea beast is red john while the dragon is his right hand ( possibly one of the remaining suspects other than red john himself ) the dragon can act as the sea beast when he's absent and it is his responsibility to ensure that everyone has the mark of the sea beast on his right hand or his forehead ( the red glass bead ?? ) this would make sense if the dragon is red john right hand and there's an episode ( episode 7 I think ) is named after him and the episode after it is named red John so his right hand will be revealed in episode 7 and red john will be revealed in episode 8 to support that further it is directly mentioned in revelations that the dragon gave the beast his seat and his power and great authority meaning that the dragon is the one who provides red john with everything he needs and the most plausible suspect here is Brett stiles (he will feature in the episode before red great dragon along with Jason cooper whom Jane will investigate and reveal stiles true role in the next episode ) who in my opinion is the most powerful character in terms of authority and it is his responsibility to ensure that all visualise members have red John mark so my final guess is red john " powerful " friend is definitely Brett stiles and Ray Haffner is red john while partridge at this point could be either alive or dead thanks for reading and I apologise if most of what I wrote is contradictory
There are two possibilities regarding Red John. Either it is someone from early on in the show like Sheriff McAllister, or they changed Red John half way into the show. When a show starts it is on a year to year contract and can be cancelled or not renewed at anytime. There is no way that the producers could anticipate they would have 6 years to tell the story and wait until season 5 and introduce a character like Kirkland and have him be Red John.
They could have started the show in season 1 with Red John being Brett Partridge and decided to change down the road. I would like to think that they had a grand scheme how this would unfold from the beginning and not be flying by the seat of their pants and changing midway through. Bruno Heller has said in interviews that Red John is someone we have seen in the background already, like a Where's Waldo. I believe he said that during Season 4. He also has said that he has had a general idea how the show would play out from the very beginning, so I would think that assuming Partridge is dead it would have to be Sheriff McAllister because everyone else was brought in much later.
BRETT PARTRIDGE IS NOT RED JOHN!!!
Thats all :)
I think RJ is Reede Smith or Sheriff McCallister. Why? Because Bruno Heller gave us so many "clues" (in reality red herrings) as to why it could be the other 5 suspects of the final 7. He is just distracting us from the real guy (and distraction is a big theme in the show). So with Smith and McCallister, we really don't have much evidence to go by. They are the two least obvious choices so thats why i would guess one of them. Otherwise, how did they get narrowed down from the original 2 thousand something suspects to the final 7? Clearly Patrick has reasons he thinks they might be RJ that we, the audience, don't know about.
With every season i watched a few people stood out as RJ. The "he is mar" makes me thing that means he is many. The William Blake poems quoted talk about good and evil and questioning whether God made the evil as well, so basically its a battle between God and Satan. With the appearance of the 6?? number on the wall, makes me think that perhaps The Mentalist is going to take a turn similar to that of Twin Peaks, which revealed Laura Palmers killer to be possessed by spirit that took control of many different individuals to commit murders and rapes. So Patrick Jane could also be one of those people commiting the RJ murders and so can the other suspects. Maybe Jane made that video of Lorelei revealing the suspects as a cry of help to Lisbon to save him. He wants RJ to be stopped. Lisbon wears a cross always and her first name is Theresa maybe she will be his saviour.
