I cant believe how you guys are so naive, kirkiland (or whatever his name is) isnt red john. When Lorelei said that Jane shook hands with RJ she couldnt have known that Jane  met kirkiland so that clears him of being a suspect.Also by saying that he shook hands with RJ doesent have to mean that he shook hands with him literally it could mean that he just met him or saw him. My guess is that RJ is a therapist.If you watch red sails in the sunset again you will notice that loreleis sister miranda was sold to a couple.The couple said that she was a troublesome child and that they have sent her to the therapist while she was going to high school.My guess that he is RJ.Brett Stiles isnt RJ i just know that . If therapist isnt RJ i think Mashburn is.

Bob Kirkland.

In the E07 S05 - If It Bleeds, It Leads.

The episode ends with Bob Kirkland from Homeland Security talking to Lisbon and then greeting Jane in the corridor. The following conversation occurs: 
Bob: "oops, sorry Mr Jane."
Jane: "Do I know you?"
-HANDSHAKE-
Bob: "No... But I know you"
Scene ends with sinister music, high possibility it could be Red John, since Lora-Li escapes from Federal Prison in the next episodes.

I think Red John is Harker Rosalind.

In Season 4 Episode  2 Jane takes Rosalind to the morgue to identify Timothy Carter body.  Watch Rosalind and her body language, she seems as if she has seen a ghost and has the look on her face that the man on the morgue table is someone she loves.  Her body language suggests to me that she is deeply connected to the dead man (lover, brother, etc).

Timothy Carter and Harker Rosalind were extremely close together and loved each other.  Carter knew that Jane would not stop searching until Jane kills Red John.  Out of love for Rosalind, Carter pretends to be Red John and knows all Jane's secrets from Rosalind telling him, he fakes being Red John and Jane kills him.  Rosalind now has an opening to stop being Red John and for Jane to stop trying to kill her since Jane thinks he has killed Red John.  After she closes her mouth with the look of horor on her face, she says I don't know this person.  You can see the emotion change at the end of this episode where Rosalind's face goes from grief to anger and says, "I have never met this man." 

In Season 4 Episode 13 "Red is the New Black," Rosalind says Red John is at her home.  Rosalind kills the morgue attendant in anger and to show Jane.  If she has hightened senses from being blind she should know a dead body is in her closet and also show similar emotion from when she was so upset the day she itenditifed Timothy Carter's body in the morgue.  But she doesn't show emotion.

Lastly she has "red" hair. Jane always has is guard down around Rosalind  because he thinks she is blind and innocent.

It's osvaldo ardilles.

Heller said to watch every scene closely in the crimson hat.

The scene where darcy uses a tape measure to measure the fake dead rigsby she then rings ardilles and demands warrants for arrests, this is when he finds out Patrick didn't kill Lisbon....

Quote from red John 'I found out when my good friend in the FBI found out'

I have more evidence to my theory, I am just back from my walk, during which I saw a kitty cat, which was staring at me intensely as if I knew the truth! Can someone confirm that PJ shook hands with a cat? That is my only doubt about who is Red John, as I missed that moment of handshake.

Theory #1029 • By Thwillie l9l3
Show this theory

Although it would be interesting if red John is someone in the unit is part of his group I hope not although I'm sure one of them will be revealed as a red John crony I think it is possible that red John died and reached out from the grave to deny Jane the peace of being without his presence in the world by giving everyone in his group to keep his memory alive with instructions or found an heir, although he would be as good as red John
Wayne- smiles way too much for nothing and in a previous episode was found to be easily hypnotised so easy to become a follower
Cho- he avoids all conflicts much like boscos assistant would, he also has many hidden and mysterious abilities
Van pelt- she was a newbie in the first episode and in a season five episode she wasn't yet hired it is possible that she was already a part of red John and when Jane joined CBI red John chose van pelt to join the team most likely having more than just one of his group applying for the job
