Still can't stop thinking its Jane... Who better to guess the names on the list than himself.

Sophie Miller gave a very important clue. He sat in the waiting room comfortably, calmly, wasn't annoyed or anything like that.

That clearly matches with the Sheriff's personality. Remember when Jane came in the room where he had a meeting with Bertram and Smith. Sheriff sat there calmly, like he has everything under control without showing it on the outside.

Sorry guys but i'am still betting on this guy, first i tell you why, this episode was writing only by Bruno Heller and directed by Chris Long ( i always called him RJ director ), in that scene the guy in red look at Patrick Jane whene Lisbon call back Timothy carter to tell him that Craig is dead, THE GUY IN RED take his things and left.

Now i'am focusing at how he look at Jane, because if he was a simple guy this will be a big mistake from the director, i mean when they are film-making, they repeat the scene a lot of times and take the best one, we are in a finale season they have to choose the perfect one, WHY THE HELL THEY BET ON THIS ONE.

For my personal opinion this is the best choose for RJ, 

We never heard his voice 
The handshaking maybe off-screen
He already have been cast, and we might already have seen him ( Heller in an interview for insidetv )
He is like Waldo ( he is there but you have to pay a lot of attention te see him )

Thanks all ( and sorry for bad english )

while there's lots of "evidence" that we "know", the only thing that we truly know is that Red John employs a seemingly endless supply of disciples to carry out much of what he needs done. Is it too far a stretch to assume that the men that Rosalind Harker and Jane's psychiatrist weren't actually Red John either?

Red John's disciples have also proven to be willing to sacrifice themselves for him - carrying out his orders even though those orders will likely get them killed or caught (or require them to kill themselves). Sounds kind of like extreme religious devotion... cult-like devotion. As Bret Stiles already runs a cult, it kinda seems to be the most logical conclusion that he would be Red John. A cult leader that inspires cult-like devotion; wouldn't that fit the bill of being a disappointment (as per Bruno Heller's suggestion about who RJ turns out to be) being that it's a fairly obvious connection?

We now know that Red John does in fact have a network of disciples throughout law enforcement; but was that really all that hard to believe? We've seen people acting on behalf of Red John within CBI all along. In Red All Over (a telling title?) we saw a cop on the scene tamper with evidence that connected a murder to Visualize - perhaps a coincidence, but it could also be a bit of foreshadowing in suggesting that Stiles' organization has followers everywhere (just like RJ).

We also know that Kirkland's brother got help from Red John to kick his drinking and such, which is kind of the type of thing that Visualize does.

On a practical level, I just can't see Red John, a criminal mastermind of this huge organization of disciples (and that's only counting the ones that we've seen), having a day job. Stiles has more control over his schedule than any of the other suspects. The rest all have to punch a clock, so to speak. They have responsibilities that would be hard to avoid if need be, whereas Stiles is at the top of an organization with many loyal followers under him; he can literally set his own agenda and do what he wants, when he wants. He also has more than enough resources at his disposal to carry out whatever plan he might wish to execute.

On a personal level, if I were the creator of a series that was built around one man's search for revenge against an incredibly smart and resourceful, yet utterly diabolical killer, I'd really love for that killer to be played by the guy from Clockwork Orange. That really does seem like a great option if you have it. Just saying.

I'm not going to bash anyone's opinion, theory, etc......because I absolutely am ADDICTED to this website! However, I have noticed a strong pattern that when a new suspect is highlighted each week, this message board fills up with bold predictions that it's that character as RJ. Partridge, McAllister, Haffner, Michael Kirkland, now Haffner again because of the next episode.

The writers are making it seem completely obvious that the suspect highlighted on the given episode is the one being highlighted, where they make it seem like that's who RJ is......and we're taking the bait!!!!!! We are acting like their little puppets and chasing the most obvious choice week after week, it's crazy.

I think it's time we think outside the box on who RJ is, heck......every week something new pops up that we didn't expect, so it's not going to be the obvious choice.

I'm not saying it's Mashburn, I just put him up because I had to pick someone, but let's stop chasing the weekly obvious choice that changes week after week and take a step back to really see what's going on!

Happy hunting!!!!

I think it's pretty obvious that the cryptic clue at the end of ep 1 is the number 666 the number of the beast who is also called the great red dragon the same name as ep 7 however I still can't figure the relationship

People please stop saying that heller said that we will be disappointed when red john is revealed what he meant is that definitely some people will be disappointed because they were hoping for something else if he meant that we're all will be disappointed then why continue writing with that path if everyone is going to be disappointed with it
