I don't know if he's Red John....but in real life Haffner would be the only one of the final seven that's handsome, young , and charming enough to seduce women...the rest of the suspects are either too old or too weird or both...

I think the list is the RJ did Jane ... because he could not guess as psychic RJ hates that. Patrick is again manipulated by Rj.
Rj is the sheriff all over the profile block Rj is the mentor of Dumar = Marshall Hardy
heller said to be like looking for wally 2x10 watch the driver
Sheriff is the one who says "hi patrick"
in a poem by W. Blake is a phrase
Among the lambs, dressed in white,He walked with her ​​Thomas in sweet delight.I cried with joy, like a dove I mourn;Oh! When will there?
When RJ saves PJ look at the shoes and then shoes look 6x03
Episode 4x24 end the police car look at the smoke leaving the desert comes not from the street ... a sting operation by the cbi-fbi
It smells like pine
He is mar = marshal = sheriff

Who else is disappointed with no more 'red' titles after episode 8?

My Blue Heaven, Green Thumb, and White Lines....  No RED anything

Hit green if you're looking forward to the story moving on

Hit red if you're sad to see the RJ story go :(

The IMDB listing is meaningless.  There are too many possible reasons that it appears as it does.  

Mentalist creator/writer Bruno Heller says that Red John is on Jane's list, http://insidetv.ew.com/2013/05/06/mentalist-finale-season-6-red-john-list/
The list does not include Mashburn.  But...

It is likely that Red John has become a title that is passed on to the leader each generation.  So...a current or former Red John is on Jane's list, but not necessarily both.  Mashburn is a possible Red John, but very unlikely, even with what IMDB says. 

The Red John dynasty has it's roots with the Visualize church, and a strong connection to the Tyger-Tyger organization.  One model that explains this has Stiles as founder and his son Reede Smith as the current Red John. Reede Smith brings many police officers into the Visualize church and builds a very influential organization.  Red John is now an organizational serial killer.  Those who are killed are often people who simply know too much...about Red John, or Tyger-Tyger or about a member.  

Red John did get into Jane's mind and plant the list.  He did it when he knocked out Jane and held him hostage for a day.  Red John is the master of mind manipulation, and he learned it at Visualize.
