Unlike others he is not too old nor too young.. he definitely fits redjohn's profile... the trick in season 6 episode 5 and 6 is that the people with three dot tattoo are the followers of red john.. and since there was no smiley face when the private investigator is killed justifies that it wasn't redjohn who killed her more over haffner was missing at the same moment.

The main reason why I think it's ray haffner is because he is the only person who calls Lisbon by her first name as THERESA and if you look at conversation between Patrick Jane and redjohn in season 6 first episode , it shows that redjohn also calls her by the same name..... you can change tone in a conversation but rarely you change how you address a person...

If McAllister is RJ, he's probably not using his given name. So, he most likely took the name McAllister.
McAllister means "son of Alistair," the Gaelic form of Alexander. What do the last 3 letters spell backwards? R-e-d. Of course, PJ's father's name is Alex. Perhaps RJ has a connection to Jane from the carnival?

I remember Heller once said he chose Patrick's name because it was a good Irish name. Would be interesting if he chose a Scottish one for RJ.

Question on Dessert Rose ending. Lisbon clearly looks at a small room with a sink in it. It's deliberate (right after partridge killed. There must be a significance. no??

We may have been misdirected in the Red Barn episode. Father DiBuono told Jane that Talbot said some "kid" painted the Red John smiley and from that statement we've be led to believe that was the same person who actually murdered Talbot and Charney. But what if Talbot and Charney were killed by Stiles (cleaning up a mess, which it seems the Red Barn was) and noticed the smiley, which appears to be derived from a Visualize ritual (like we see in "Fire and Brimstone"), and decided to adopt it. So the Red Barn wasn't necessarily the birth of Red John as much as the birth of the smiley.

Net is, we were led to believe that the "kid" who painted the smiley commited the murders, but there is no proof that is the case. This could simply be the writers providing some interesting background (origin of the smiley) and conveniently using that as a way to misdirect us and remove suspicion from Stile.
