Not really a theory, but just want to ask
why do you think he is not an option?

Okay so after the last episode I'm sure that it's not the three remaining suspects because it's too easy. I think Red John is more clever to be in the tyger tyger group. This group might be connected to him, might be his minions but he is above them and I think he wouldn't be stupid enough to have the same tattoo as all of them.
They might also be looking for RJ. Not sure about that but they might.

Ray fits the descriptions that we have of RJ, he has the right age and he is creepy. there is this vibe coming of him. When Teresa accusses him of being RJ he seems angry and offended but wouldn't that be a good reaction rather than to play it cool.
He has RJ' weird walk. He didn't really hesitate to take of his shirt which shows a bit of confidence that can be seen as either good or bad.
He likes Teresa and that could be why she is still alive. There is just something about him. I can't quite describe it but I like him for the part. Plus I hope it's him.

Carter Peak, maybe the evidence was the body not being Carter Peak. Red John was created when he came home to his wife and daughter being murdered. How he met Jane was when Jane was still connecting people to lost ones and still believes the Jane really did get him in touch with his wife. Or I'm completely wrong.

So we heard a gunshot at the end, then in the promo we see McAllister's, Haffner's and Stiles' photos on the board. When Rigsby says "Red John brought in a bomb to kill Jane and the other suspects" he points at the board. Therefore, we can presume that the 3 people I mentioned are dead. This leaves us with 2 suspects, Bertram and Smith. Neither fit the descriptions given by Rosalind Harker and Sophie Miller. Something interesting I spotted was at the start when Smith was looking at the hanging body, he asked another cop/agent to check for his ID because he said he didn't like heights (or something like that). Smith is the only one who has Acrophobia, but its probably a red herring. If my ovseration about the 3 suspects on the board are correct then Heller has killed off the two favourites for Red John, well played Sir, you keep us guessing. I seriously have no idea who RJ is now. Will Partridge come back? I doubt but don't rule anything out.

I've been a devoted follower of this site for quite some time. But this would be my first time posting anything here. Anyway, it seems to me--whoever RJ turns out to be, not everyone will be satisfied. There will be disappointments. Some will say, that dude doesn't fit the description at all! Or, this is soooo lame. 

Anyway, I still enjoy the show! Been great so far!

P.S As for my theory, I'm still going for Michael Kirkland. :)

Seriously people, please stop whining about the ending.
If rj isn't the person that you hoped he is doen't mean the ending is bad
