Main Plot Spoilers: Once you read them, you can't unread them. You can press red, but the best you can hope for is that you didn't really understand what you were reading, thus you forget the spoilers. Just a warning.

Nice little hints left for us:
Ray Haffner was Roy Tagliaferro (Rosalynd you lied about his damn height you blind bat!)
If you watch the Lorelei Martins' video, there is a massive pause before Ray Haffner's name is announced, which is disguised by Jane and Lisbon's exchange of looks.
Ray Haffner raped and killed Lorelei's sister, as Red John told her. That's why she's not angry at Red John himself and complies with the video.
Partridge, the great Red John, outsmarted by a photographer:
Partridge: "Red John's been laying low for years, working through friends and proxies."
Val Ziskin (Photographer): "He killed just recently didn't he?"
The only person who knew Lorelei Martins was still alive was Red John. Partridge says Red John has been laying low for years. The only person who knew that was Red John. I can't believe I ever thought that this guy was a mastermind. . . Everyone else thinks he's just killed Lorelei Martins. Then he runs his mouth trying to get caught. In episode 8, it is revealed since the murders of Angela and Charlotte Jane, Partridge did not physically kill one person himself until Eileen Turner.
Sean Barlow was a friend of Red John
If you recall Sean Barlow "Any punk killer who wants to fool with you can paint a smiley face on the wall, OOOO it's Redjohn."
This turned out to be true, haha! Any way, he guilted Patrick into telling Lisbon the list. When Lisbon who was bugged, heard the list, Redjohn also heard it. So yeah, he turned out to be pretty important.

I'm sure you can find many more little hints and teasers that were dropped during course of the 6 seasons. But yes, it turned out, they really did have the answers. Thanks for a great show. RIP John.
