Some thoughts about our investigation.I think this is our last chance to post something about Kirkland, as some hours later it could be not actual any more.
So, if the list is true and RJ is one person, how the hell is Heller going to surprise us? We discussed almost all the possibilities. I think there may be a solution: RJ is someone on the list and at the same time someone not on the list. How could it be? Remember "do you recognize me" question by Kirkland. He may be just a new personality for someone who we think is dead or lost.
Actually I don't believe this could be true, so my next statement is about the whole list itself. We know that Stiles knows RJ. We know that Haffner is probably working for Stiles and interested in RJ case, so may be Haffner knows RJ as well. We may consider that Kirkland knows RJ (again, remember the scene with Lennon, though the coming episode is tending to tell us the vice-verse is true). We know that Partridge knew RJ (Tyger... like Todd). So, 4 of 7. The remaining three met at Bertram's office and obviously have some secrets. May we conclude, that all listed people know RJ?
One more notation from "Red Moon". Todd Johnson - the only person, who is considered to be RJ's friend and who was ready to reveal something about RJ. He was also talking about some bigger plans, Jane couldn't see the whole picture and so on. Are we sure he was with RJ? Actually he never said that. He just said "Tyger...", like Partridge. May be he was just a victim. "Red Moon" was Heller's episode, so I guess Todd's story is not over.
One more detail. About McAllister. He wears uniform with four stars on each side. What does it mean? We were shown a lot of sheriffs throughout the series and as I noticed none of them is wearing this kind of starful uniform.
And the last. Are we going to develop Smith's character somehow? I don't think his presence in the list was just a miscalculation by scriptwriters. There must be something relevant and not only his name. I'm going to rewatch S5E1.
Thanks for attention and your help in our co-investigation.

Not sure who is red john tbh.

However just rewatched the season 5 finale today. When Patrick mentions his happy memory on Eileen Barlow Lisbon says something very interesting. She says her happy memory is of her mother feeding pigeons.......
Weird.

OFFICIAL : In episode 4 : Jane's list of suspects decreases to five remaining names.

Everyone please help and leave a comment...I need a question answered!

I don't believe Volker is Red John (had to choose someone) at least we know he is a psychopath

I've seen all the episodes at least twice, I've thought Partridge, Bertram, Kirkland, Ruskin, Jane himself, Mashburn, CBI Ron etc....I have no idea...always looking for clues, but I'm rarely listening..

Here's my question

"Sorry Patrick, Tereza can't come to the phone right now"
Was that the clue Heller said was at end of the first episode?

Red John clearly said Tereza not Teresa

The voice has been consistent since season 1...its the only thing we have concrete in this show

No matter how hard you hide your identity certain speech pattern cannot be covered up

Who has said Tereza before in this show?
Jane says Teresa
Haffner says Teresa

Who says Tereza?

And we may have our answer....Thanks for your time

Patrick Jane in Red Moon:  "If you truly want revenge, you have to be hard. You have to be dishonest
and devious and cold. You can't let people see what's in your heart."

Patrick has been pretty clear all along that he's using the CBI.  (He might, at times, also be helping them, but that's not his primary reason for associating with them.)  So, why exactly should we believe he would tell Lisbon who his final few suspects were?  Lisbon has made no secret of the fact that she doesn't want Jane to kill Red John, and the CBI team seems to leak information like a sieve.

Patrick Jane is the exact opposite of an idiot.  So why on Earth would he tell his top-secret list of men suspected to include to the one he wants to kill, to the woman whose team can't keep a secret and who intends to stop him from killing the man?  The only possible reason is that he wants the list leaked "against his will" (to lend credibility to it), and he knows the man he wants to kill isn't on it...

At this point, I'm really starting to believe that being named on Jane's list of Red John Suspects is practically proof that you aren't Red John...  ;)
