PEOPLE, YOU HERE RATHER BELIEVE THE FACT THAT BRETT PARTRIDGE IS ALIVE AND IGNORE ALL EVIDENCE THAT YOU HAVE ON PJ BEING RJ..I AM ASKING YOU WHAT EVIDENCE DO YOU HAVE THAT BP IS ALIVE? NONE..IF SOMEONE WRITES SOMETHING ABOUT PJ, BAM! UNLIKE, DISLIKE...BLA BLA...AND YOUR BEST DEFENSE IS WHAT HELLER SAID....

HELLER SAID A LOT OF THINGS AND AMONG THEM IS ALSO THAT BRETT PARTRIDGE IS DEAD, BUT YOU KEEP ON WRITING LIKE HE IS NOT SO I WILL WRITE PJ IS RJ EVEN IF AT THE END OF IT ALL HE IN FACT ISNT RJ BECAUSE THERE ARE CLUES STRONGER THAN ALL THE CLUES WE CAN PUT TOGETHER SO FAR THAT PJ IS RJ THAN FOR EVERY SUSPECT ON THE LIST...

I WATCHED THE FILM BLOODY VALENTINE ( STARRING JENSEN ACKLES) WHERE THE PLOT WAS ALL ABOUT ONE KILLER WHO WAS KILLING EVERYONE...THE DIRECTOR DID SUCH A GOOD JOB THAT ALL THE TIME I WAS CHEERING FOR ACKLES GETTING ALIVE OUT IT ALL BUT AT THE END HET WAS THE KILLER WITH 2 PERSONALITIES....HE TRAPPED HIMSELF, WAS EVEN WOUNDED IF I REMEMBER BY HIMSELF AND ALL THE TIME I WAS BLAMING THE OTHER "MYSTERIOUS"  GUY WHO SAVED THE DAY AT THE END...OR DIED AMONG THE WAY :D I DONT REMEMBER...

PARTRIDGE DEAD THAN ALIVE WOULD NOT BE A BRILLIANT PLAN RJ MADE TO GET OFF THE SUSPECT LIST FOR ME AND IT WOULDNT BE A BRILLIANT PLAN MADE BY HELLER TO KEEP HIM OF THE HOOK.....

FOR SO FAR I CAN ONLY SEE THAT ALL THE RJ SUSPECT ARE GETTING OF THE HOOK ONE BY ONE....PARTRIDGE,SHERIFF,KIRKLAND BUT I CAN SEE THAT WE ARE SEEING MORE OF STUFF WE DIDNT KNOW ABOUT JANE......AND NEXT WEEK WE WILL SEE EVEN MORE ABOUT JANE...WHY IS HELLER GETTING US SO CLOSE TO PJ ALL THE SUDDEN...ISNT HIS JOB NOW TO GET US THE FACTS ABOUT RJ AND GETTING US CLOSE TO RJ, NOT JANE?

AND YES, SOMEONE WILL DIE FROM THE LIST IN THE NEXT EPISODE (PROMO) SO THAT LEAVES US WITH WHAT? 3 MORE SUSPECTS..

I DONT THINK RJ WILL KILL ALL OF THEM BESIDE HIMSELF AND THEN GO TO PJ AND SAY "HONEY IM HOME" :D

I DONT BELIEVE THAT THE LIST OF 7 THAT IS STOLEN HAS THE NAME OF RED JOHN AND I HONESTLY THINK THAT THE SECOND LIST DOESNT EXIST

AND YES, UNTIL I READ SOMEWHERE THAT HELLER SAID PATRICK IS NOT RED JOHN AND RED JOHN IS NOT PATRICK I WILL STAND FOR THIS THEORY 

IF SOMEONE ELSE TURNS TO BE RED JOHN I WOULD LIKE THAT ALLOT, BUT NOT SOMEONE PREDICTABLE....IT WOULD BE COOL:)

AND IF SOMEONE FROM THE LIST OR EVEN BP ENDS UP TO BE RJ I WILL RESPECT THAT AND I WILL RESPECT AS I DID IT SO FAR ALL THE PEOPLE WITH THEIR THEORIES, JUST TO SAY THIS I DIDNT PUT ONE SINGLE UNLIKE ON YOUR THEORIES BECAUSE EVERYONE HERE PUT AN EFFORT TO WRITE HIS THEORY AND HAD GIVEN SOME OF HIS TIME TO PROVE US ALL SOMETHING EVEN IF ITS WRONG MAYBE, EVEN IF IT WAS PURE GUESSING...:)

AND THIS IS FOR SIMON BAKER AND HELLER IF THEY EVER READ THIS :)

SIMON DONT LET HELLER MAKE YOU RJ :) WE LOVE YOU JUST AND ONLY LIKE JANE! :)

Based on the promo for next week's episode, I think RJ's next victim will be Sheriff Thomas McCallister.  It looks like his body on the ground.  If PJ made up a fake list of 7 suspects, Kirkland may be torturing PJ to get the real list of suspects.

Red John is actually an acronym for:

R Rigsby
E Edna Kinders(from season 2, episode 5)
D Dean Harken

J Jane
O Oscar Ardiles
H Hightower, Madeline
N Nathan Brown(a suspect in season 1, episode 3)

Red John is a collective group of these seven people.

I have seen Bruno Heller previously stating to media that Red John is not a one person. (When season 3 or 4 running)

May be there is no Red John. It must be a criminal organization with psychopaths.

A single person cannot do such accurate killings with such precision.

May be all 7 suspects are connected to this :o

I think if the 7 suspect list is correct, then it can be narrowed down to 3 people.
Red John shouldn't be:
Sheriff McAllister because he saved Jane the last episode by climbing the ladder onto the roof (not acrophobic, maybe),
Reed Smith is too large according to the way Rosalind Harker describes RJ,
Bob Kirkland is seen in the preview of the next episode (Red Listed) as torturing Jane for the real list of RJ suspects. RJ already knows the list of Jane's suspects, and
Brett Partridge is dead.

Obviously all of my reasoning could be wrong and it is just RJ's way of throwing us off his trail...
for example Brett Partridge could be alive and be the one that tazered Lisbon, who knows.
Did anyone catch Sophie Miller's (Jane's psychologist) patient named something 'Washburn'. Remember Walter Mashburn? silly coincidences like that are made to confuse and annoy us, haha.

I strongly think it is Bret Stiles, but I definitely think that Red John is someone who has strong feelings for Lisbon (making his smiley on her face). Someone like Ray, who stopped by her hospital bed. I haven't watched the older seasons but I also think that Bertram and Stiles liked Lisbon, too. The other 4 suspects don't/didn't have any relationship with her...
So there you go. Bret Stiles, Ray Haffner, Gale Bertram

Guys i think jane has another suspect beside the other ones
and thats why he kinf of smiled when red john knew the list of suspects
so i think probabley the 8th suspect is redjohn or redjohn's associate .

This is my personal list of suspects and it has only 4 suspects :
Raymond Haffner ( because of sophie miller's descriptions )

Bob Kirkland ( because he is the smartest one in the show after patrick and red john and he also killed lenon who was the only one knew who red john is )

CBI Ron ( i dont think a have to say why , he is around always and if he dont have an accual part in the show then why is he even in the show ! and more thikns was said in the last theories so i dont have to say it again )

Walter Mashburn ( because he is charming , rich , has power and no one will ever tell that he is red john , so maybe he accualy is red john .. and between you and me the passion of sophie miller ( washburn ) , im pretty shure he is red john not jay roth and washburn = mashburn ( turn the m W ) )

and Brett Patrtridge if he is still alive

Red John is JANE. In episode 4 season 4 special agent Luther White, White gives Jane the analysis of a sociopath (Jane). Then in last nights episode we learned Jane was afraid of heights . Red John is Jane. Take it to the bank!
