Well, it looks like they are getting married

I noticed one very interesting thing from the list of 7.I dont know if its really important but its worth to mention it.From the 7 suspects of the list there is only one of them whom his appearance on the show isnt connected at all to the Red John case.And this man is Sherrif Thomas McCallister.In his appearance in s01e02 we have zero mention to Red John and it seems one episode with another killing that PJ and the team will solve in a smart way.Think of it.
1)Brett Partridge:All his appearances except one were in episodes referring to Red John.
2)Bret Stiles:Helps PJ to get Lorelei out of prison and also in another episode talks to PJ about RJ and how RJ takes all the things from PJ's life.
3)Gale Bertram:He is also connected to the Red John case in s03e24 where we thought at the beggining that he was RJ's accomplice before we find out that O'Laughlin is RJ's accomplice.
4)Reede Smith:His only appearance is in s05e01 where he and Mancini at the beggining have an argument with Lisbon and her team about the Red John case.Also take a look at his face when Rigsby says "We were this close on catching Red John...etc".
5)Bob Kirkland:Well what can i say about BK.He killed Jason Lennon.He is the chief in finding Lorellei when she escaped from prison,he break into the room of PJ.All his appearances are connected to the Red John case.
6)Raymond Haffner:S04e01.He and his team replace Lisbon's team cause of their suspection in killing Timothy Carter(fake RJ).And of course s05e13.The episode that we learn that RJ started to kill in the late 80's and was a member os Visualise as Haffner too.

I am impressed by the many compelling ideas supporting each suspect as RJ.  That notwithstanding, I really hope some of the suspects turn out to be good guys -- or at least normal human beings (good intentions, serious flaws but also some positive characteristics).

In particular, just how many psychopathic serial killers -- and devoted followers of a psychopathic serial killer -- can there be in law enforcement in one area?!  RJ is striking because psychopathic serial killers are rare.  It is quite a stretch to assume that even criminals would be willing to accompany RJ down such a heinous path, much less be willing to die for RJ.

Also, while the conspiracy theories are fun, it strikes me as weak if the plot depends on widespread evil, with the lone exception of Lisbon's virtuous, heroic team.  Ordinary failings often are quite enough to explain dishonorable or questionable behavior.  For instance, Bertram was perfectly willing to write Jane off after he killed Timothy Carter.  This is perfectly in keeping with an excessively ambitious bureaucrat/politician whose commitment to his subordinates ends when they cease to further his career.  (BTW, try as I might, I can't reconcile the plaque for bravery in Bertram's office with a RJ personality, regardless of the other clues suggesting Bertram might be RJ.  Bravery -- especially the aspect of risking self for another -- seems incompatible with the absolute self-referential nature of RJ.  RJ appears to place zero value on any person or belief system except his own.)  Kirkland's murder of Jason Lennon isn't far from the ruthless values and actions sometimes required of spies.  If Lennon were a covert agent "turned" by RJ (as Kirkland said, Lennon allowed himself to become the "plaything of monsters"), Kirkland might have killed Lennon to protect some larger investigation.  Anyhow, it's too precious for all virtue to reside in Lisbon's team with evil widespread among other law-enforcement teams and agencies.

Just a thought.  Thanks for reading this.
