LATEST THEORIES

With all respect, for those who think RedJohn is Brett Partridge, can you answer the following question..I'm not discounting your theory, but everytime I read a new "It has to be Partridge" post, the following is overlooked or ignored....so here's the questions, please enlighten me..
1. Do you agree there are 3 people present in the death scene: Lisbon, Corpse Partridge, and Who ever was hiding in the bathroom.
2. Do you accept that when Lisbon entered the room and found Partridge that the bathroom door was shut and when she looked up a few seconds after confirming Partridges death, that the bathroom door had been opened presumably by whoever else was there?
3. Do you accpt it is more likely than not likely that if RJ was there in the house, dead or otherwise, that there would not be a 3rd person or RJ associate also present?
4. Do you accept the possibility that RJ did not have Partridge killed and possibly BPs death was not commited by RJ nor a RJ follower(by the way, no red smiley face there).
5. Do you discount Rosalinds description that the killer has short straight hair and pretty good posture?
6. If you dont discount her, do you accept that even though Partridge has short hair, he has really poor posture?

I know it sounds like I'm trying to force you to accept it is not him...Feel free to have your opinion. I do beleive it could be anyone, but I just want to see how you answer those questions that really seem to discount him for me...

So, I watched S02E08 again and probably I found something. Two cops are taking Rebecca, Bosco's team's secretary, away, after Jane interrogated her. Rebecca sees another agent coming, and she smiles. She smiles because she has recognized him. He's her "true love", the only one helped her with her dark past. He's, in fact, Red John. She thinks he's here to save her, but he kills her.
The interesting thing is that we see RJ walking, and for a moment, few frames, we see his hair from behind. Unless he's wearing a wig, he has brown hair. This excludes many RJ suspects from the list.

Now, the actor who is going to be RJ never played him before, but I don't think Bruno would show us a brown-haired man when the real Red John doesn't even have hair, or it's white (Bertram and Stiles). We don't know if Haffner dyed his hair, but it's a possiblity. Furthermore, RJ in S02E08 can't be Mcallister because his hair is completely different (but we must remember the wig possibilty).
Again, it's clearly not Smith, because Smith is too fat, and we see that RJ isn't when he's walking.
Then we have Kirkland and Partridge left. Kirkland has brown hair, and we saw he's definitely dead.
We can't say the same thing of Partridge (If only Lisbon shooted him on the knee we would be sure that he's gone).

All in all, if it's not Partridge, one of the Kirklands or Haffner, they made a huge mistake.
I choose Partridge because he has always intrigued me. Feel free to comment and criticize me.

P.S. Apologies for my badEnglish

To be honest I'm so annoyed/gutted that the red john story won't last the whole season! :@

I think this statement by Heller narrows things down a bit: "The Red John story is going to be moving at a very fast pace with no vamping, no tricks. Well, there'll be tricks, but we won't be fooling the audience or messing with them," Heller said.   

I believe that means no “Lorelei is alive”, no “it’s Michael Kirkland, the missing twin” no “it’s John Johnson” the guy we saw only that once and definitely no “it’s Van Pelt because she has red hair and likes to have sex all the time”, lol.

It doesn’t necessarily preclude Partridge faking his own death, I still figure that as a possibility since dedicated fans wouldn’t be fooled, as evidenced by the number of Partridge theories on this site, but most of the other more creative theories are out the window IMO.

Personally, I still believe Partridge is dead and it’s Haffner or Bertram for various reasons that have been talked about ad naseum .

I have made it very clear that I think RJ is Partridge and don't want to repeat my theories as to why. This post is for the one's who don't think it's Partridge. I want to hear real theories as to why Heller said that it was important that Partridge was the first one to die. He said that the reason would be explained later on and there is only 2 episodes left to explain it.

So let's assume you all are right and Partridge really is dead. Why was it so important for him to die first? I would love to hear a legitimate theory that I can find plausible. Come on. Prove to me that he is dead and why.

And I don't want to hear that there were too many people at the scene for him to have faked it. We are assuming that he is in fact, dead. I want to know why RJ felt it was important for him to go first.
