Heads or tails?

Patrick has a question for us:

I know this theory is crazy and most of you will look away and think I'm an idiot. But I believe Red John is Danny Ruskin, PJ's brother-in-law. Those of you who believe that he would never kill his sister and her daughter, think about this. Danny was furious with PJ for running away with his sister - he sure could've been furious with her as well. His voice is very Red John like. Maybe I'm dumb, maybe this is just a silly theory, but there is a small chance it's him.

I think Red John is a Dr.Jekyll/Mr Hyde character who on the surface is a well respected, calm, charismatic individual. Underneath, his shadow side is a demented, serial killer.
Bret Stiles is dying ( I believe this a symbolic death) He's been fighting his shadow self and it's killing him. Red John is emerging.
Bret Stiles is powerful, enigmatic, manipulative and has limitless resources and brain washed followers. As a cult leader he's the ideal villain.

He's a schizophrenic mastermind lunatic and a fabulous actor!  And quite possibly Patrick Jane's biological daddy.

I noticed one thing when Stiles arrives to Jane's house. First he take a look inside, he notice that nobody is their. Then he says "Am I early?". This means he knows he's not the only one invited. How? I dont know, he might have talked to Haffner before but who knows, he maybe talked to Patridge (maybe his son?) that got it from Bertram. Im very excited to the "Red John" episode.

When you press Green or Red on my theory, remember it's not a theory that Patridge is alive, I think he's dead, i was just making up possibilities.

I most say that i never been this excited about a "series final" ever :D

Whatever fellows, I'm stuck at one point.
Lorelei Martins told PJ that "she wondered why you two haven't become life long friends the moment you shook hands"
How the heck she knows that RJ and PJ shook hands? It can only happen if the shook hands in front of her or something like that.
And my guess, no RJ can never be on that list. The end of this season will be something out of the box.
None of then in the list IS RJ, but yes there might be someone who is his associate.
What you people say?

At the end of it all
We do this in celebration of the Nth
More to come before the end
And you will be the lucky few to see 
First clue is in the words.
It was spoken, even as it parted his lips she knew it to be lies.
A trait was shared. What was lost? 
Your innocence Has Time Made Low
We will be waiting.

So,

Based upon this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwjaSWWSD60 it would seem that someone (very unexpectedly) comes back (from the past / from the dead).

So, I'm curious: if it were an off the List candidate to be Red John (which I believe is still very much a possibility in play), I'm thinking Walter Mashburn (it interesting to note that on the following link http://thementalist.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Characters, the list of characters breaks out the list of seven separately from the litany of other characters, but Bob Kirkland is omitted whereas WM is included), or Brett Partridge (who despite being dead, remains on the list, unlike BK).

However, if not an RJ suspect, and it's simply intrigue (perhaps a plot twist), I'm thinking:

- Erica Flynn
- Kristina Frye
- Alex Jane
- Ellis Mars
- Lorelei Martins

Any other candidates?
