It is not Mashburn. Be calm. The most likely are Bertram and Haffner. Simple. The story goes on.
My husband wants a Dexter/Mentalist crossover.
I do think that RJ's methods have changed.
Who is most likely to be smart enough to play mind games? Who would pretend to be lesser in order to rule silently? Who represents evil while PJ represents tormented good?

I used to like the DA Ardiles for it before the suspect list was released as I thought he would have been the most likely, but since then I've had to get my thinking cap on.

A while ago when it became apparent that we were dealing also with some sort secret organisation directly or indirectly connected to Red John as followers or groupies I thought there was really only one character who could inspire that kind of following: Ray Haffner. I know quite a few others have thought this too. He always seems to have something barely concealed below the surface. A rage perhaps.

It always intrigued me how Brett Stiles and Visualize came into it though. The answer soon smacked me right in the face. Haffner is Stiles' son. He and Visualize have been protecting him, or are being manipulated by Haffner/Red John for a long time, I prefer the manipulation line as I quite like old Brett Stiles to be honest. I hope he'll give Haffner up to Jane in the end or have some sort of clash of conscience. As for the other three guys with the tattoos (and the others we haven't seen) well, they are probably just Red John's dogs, and a few more of them might come out of the woodwork in the coming weeks. Lisbon? No, couldn't be......

I think the producers and IMDB are only playing with us, look this:

Mashburn is RJ? That would be very disappointing, he is not on the list, why they did a list if RJ is someone else?

Partridge and Kirkland will be in the Red John episode

I'm sure, they're only playing.

A question for someone who has payed more attention than I... We know there was a "big clue" in the Brett Partridge death scene that "will be revealed later." Also, someone in an older thread discussed the pigeons in that house and how they might be a clue... I've been very active on this board, but one thing no one really seemed to address well is the question of why Brett Partridge was at that house. He's definitely dead and was killed. Did RJ or someone else follow Brett their and kill him? Was Brett acting on a tip, a hunch, or a directive in going to that house before getting killed? Curious questions. I think it's odd no one has questioned why Brett might have been at that house.

I chose not Brett Partridge and can't believe how many lame fan boys are out there for the guy. I'll let you go get your life back now,,,,its not him.

Heller says he is dead and that there "is a good reason why RJ killed him that will be revealed later."

Video has Lisbon and Jane actors saying Partridge dead

Also, imbd will list all people who are in flashbacks, etc. The last episode for RJ wil be a detailed explanation over the years. So stop with the RJ be cause people are listed. Anyone can adjust that stuff.

Its one of the people he confronted
