i can't believe some people actually believe Bruno Heller when he says stuff like Red John isn't Jane   or  Red John Is one of the seven suspects.   The whole series has been nothing but misderection. Even if jane finds out who red john is in the season 6 finale and captures or kills him we'll find out in season 7 it was not red john.  

For those who think Lisbon is allied with or is RJ, this idea seems a little ludicrous since RJ had Lorelei tell PJ, that for PJ to become a friend of RJ, he would need to kill Lisbon.   PJ faked the killing and took a cabbage in place of Lisbon's head, but by then RJ knew the killing was a fake.  Also, if Lisbon was RJ's friend, then why did O'Laughlin shoot her, since he was RJ's friend and should have known other friends of Red John.  So if RJ is your friend, who needs enemies.

Brett partridge est le plus grand suspect. Il est présent à toutes les scènes de crime de red john. Son age est presque le même que celui de patrick. Il était peu présent dans la série. Les autres suspect sont  trop vieux , trop influencable ou ont aidés patrick jane dans les enquêtes contre red john.

If Red John isn't 1 of the 7 suspectsI think the coolest and most shockng reveal would be. . . . . . . . . . .  PATRICK JANE !!!!The only person on the show that has Red John's abbilities or powers is Jane and both times we hear Red John's voice (if u listen closely) it's Jane's(Simon Baker) voice just with the pitch turned up. Jane is always tired and sleping during the day maybe because he's up all night as Red John.   i wanna see in the Season 6 finale it's revealed to the audience but not the characters in the show that Jane is Red John. Season 7 shows Jane as both himself and Red John     How awesome would it be if Jane is the mastermind behind Visulize  In the last two minutes of the series Lisbon discovers Jane is the real red john Jane kllls Lisbon series ends with Jane making the Red John smiley face while the red john theme muisic plays. . fade to black                                                                                                 BOOM!! just blew your mind anything short of that will be dissapointing   LOLI have a feeling red John is more than one person
or its a multigenerational thing like father/son team (Stiles/Partridge, Jane's Father/Partridge)
But if it's one of the seven suspects it's gotta be Partridge. all the other posts have listed all the evidence that it is Partridge but not the motive why Jane?  I think it wil be revealed that he is:--- from Jane's carni past (unknown step brother, Father's new protege/partner) ---Has a history with Visulize  also mentoed by Brett Stiles ...all Red John female accoplices have that cult follower feeling (suicide insted of capture)                               I want it to be Jane or more than one person  So excied at the thought of finding out who is Red John by the end of next season  hope it isn't a fake out or a giant dissapointment like evrything else except HBO's The Wire and Game of Thrones           

call me crazy but I think brett partridge is RJ.
just a gut feeling on the man
ask yourself this
1) how does RJ manage to get so many details from the CBI
2) how doe RJ manage to sneak in and disappear into the CBI
3) how does RJ know all the spots where security cams can pick him?
he seems the only one to match the face of the mask, the only one to be smart enough to know the poem of tiger tiger, and the only one charming enough to get the ladies...
I can safely rule out that Jane isn't RJ due to the fact that he has no motive and was on live TV while the murder was being committed

(this is just a hunch so please don't say that all this is flawed, because I already know it is..like I said before its only a hunch)

Just thoughts i Had To throw out of my head.
        
Couldn't a smart guy like Patrick Jane predict all of these facts and theories we are sharing here, and put together a logical story ?
-Red John started killing in the late 80',
-Jane heard Red John's voice,
-Rosalind Harker could be the girl Jane and his father tricked,
-B. Partridge's strange behavior towards Jane,
etc, etc ...

He would probably know, by analyzing all the suspects, who could probably manipulate with people so easy, be a cold blooded killer... I mean, he does this all the time in the ordinary murder cases.

Who could be Red John from all of this we saw in these 5 seasons ? -Depends on what story would B. Heller give us as finish. With a good detail in the end, everyone of these suspects could be Red John. Now, we can only assume.

My personal choice is B. Partridge with B. Stiles having a roll in all that mystery.

I think KirkIand is definateIy the one to ruIe out
I'm thinking, in ep 16, IoreIei dies, right, so the video that's recorded with her is taken probabIy a few moments before she dies and at that time RJ knows about PJ Iist, then ep 19  KirkIand steaIs the Iist from PJ.In the video with IoreIei it is made cIear that RJ knows about the Iist and the board, the timeIine and aII, so why wouId KirkIand try to find out whats on that board, makes absoIuteIy no sense to me, at Ieast if we assume he is RJ

As for the other suspects I don't reaIIy have a strong opinion, but I think that everyone is on that Iist for a reason and everyone is a viabIe suspect, so I dont think excIuding the sheriff and the FBI agent,the fat guy, is a smart idea, tho it wouIdn't reaIIy make sense if it's one of them, but stiII

As most of you, I think Brett Partridge feeIs the most Iike RJ, but the onIy reason that makes me not beIieve is that it is way too obvious, and I secretIy hope it's not him, no idea why :S

I just know that I cant wait for september !!!
