how red john knows jane's list?

the answer is by the same way he knew about his happy memory. and who knows about our happy memories? family, friends and a psychiatrist!
jane's family: his father, his brother in low. his friends: lisbon and those people from the circus. his psychiatrist: sophie miller.

one of them was killed, miller, but not in red john style. so my guess is miller was not killed by red john but she was killed by tyger group. that leave unanswered questions:first, why tyger wants to know about jane and killed miller? second, how did red john know about the happy memory and the list?

answering first one:
tyger can easy kill jane if he was a threat to them so no reason to get to know about him. that leaves one possible answer, they want jane's list. but why? to know who is red john. yes, tyger doesn't know who is red john but red john knows all about them and can expose them and maybe threaten them if they attack jane and also red john might be a member or was a member of tyger. and why red john repeats tyger tyger? because he wants to destroy tyger or to tell jane to investigate tyger. i excluded visualize because stiles knows about red john and that is why he knew about cristina fray address. so visualize has know reason to get to know about jane and therefor no reason ti kill miller.

the answer to the second question:
red john is a like to jane and has the same mental power. an ordinary person can know how someone is thinking if he knew him well or investigate him. so it's easy to the red john that has a mental power and knows jane for many years. red john investigated jane by asking those who know jane and knew about his happy memory and also lorelei martins told jane that they know each other. so, by working around jane and spying on him red john found about all those who shacked jane and by using eliminating as jane did red john found about the list.

In order to understand how serisously the list of 7 is taken by the viewers, Grace van Pelt and Teresa Lisbon are suspected in more theories than Reede Smith. :-)

Red John is NOT on the list.

Hello. You guys are over thinking it..It's actually, very simple, ONLY Ray Haffner calls Lisbon by her first name ''Teresa''. When RJ kidnaped Lisbon, and answered Jane's call, he said: I'm sorry Patrick, TERESA can't come to the phone right now.
I'm 100% sure that Ray Haffner 
is Red John. =)

I think I figured out who RJ is. Seriously, this theory is based on all the clues given in the 6 seasons until now and lives few if any holes in the script.
Are you ready for the revelation?
RJ is an extraterrestrial being with shapeshifting abilities. He kidnaps people, give them some drugs that cause amnesia for some days, then takes their shape and replaces them in the real world. After he is done messing around with Patrick, he retreats to base and resends the original person back. In this way, RJ is in the list (appearing at defferent times as any of the suspects) and in the same time he is not on the list (appearing as the policeman who first arrives at the scene to hide evidence etc). Sorry to ruin it for ya guys, but I had to tell you.

Everyone can be RJ!

Almost certainly Heller is aware of this site and there is the possibility he has written the correct theory here. After episode 8, when you see someone bragging: "I told ya", go ahead and shoot em :D

In 6x03, as McAllister leaves the cliff/hill/view thing whistling. Sophie Miller made it a point that the person she interviewed was a good whistler.
