I think we should eliminate Haffner , in S04E02 he asks Cho is Jane smarter then you ? Cho answers : Yes , then Haffner asks him again is Jane smarter than me !? Cho : Yes , Haffner : You are probably right

Red John will never admit that jane is smarter than him , but Haffner did admit that Jane is smarter than him 

Just a question: i was seeing again some scenes with all the suspects and i realised that we don't have a single scene with Haffner, Lisbon and Jane together. I missed one or it's true? It's nothing special and we cannot say Ray is Red John because of it, of course, but i find it weird...

i dont understand why people are saying that kirklind is trying to get to red john. Why would he go to the hospital and kill the man that knows who red john is.

First off lets talk about RedJohn. RedJohn is a genius for starters. He is able to manipulate people into doing whatever he wants.  Even to the point that they are willing to give their lives for him. He is essentially a God them.   He is able to get them them to believe that what they are doing is for a good cause or a higher purpose. So obviously he learned all that from being a member of Visualize. 
    I want to point something out to all of you phobia people. REDJOHN doesnt have a phobia of birds. His first smiley face was on the side of the barn thats in the middle of a field surrounded by a forest. I think if he does have a phobia its a phobia of being alone or caught. That would explain his joining visualize and why he didnt kill Lisbon. Another reason why he didnt kill Lisbon is because he has feelings for her and she is still useful to use against Jane.
    Now lets talk about the 7 suspects that are on the list.  
     Brett Partridge is not RedJohn. I do not believe he is the pidgeon lady or is still alive for that matter. Plotnik said Partridge is dead, Heller said Partidge is dead and Jane said he was dead. Brett Partridge is not Red John.
      Bret Stiles is not Red John. He is to old for starters and would have been recognized by Sophie Miller. Same can be said of Bertram. While Bret is intelligent he still needed Patricks help and ended up owing him a favor. Does that sound like Red John to you? Red John would never put himself in that kind of position. Never. Bret Stiles isnt Red John.
       Bertram,Kirkland, Reede, and McAllister are not Red John. They are all involved in a join effort to capture RedJohn before Patrick does. Thats why they all secret meetings and act so suspicious. Also a picture of Kirkland with Jane Zip tied to a chair was recently released. Why would he have Jane like that? Because obviously Jane knows more than what he's saying and Kirkland along with the other three want to know to.
    Raymond Haffner in my opinion is REDJOHN. Haffner other than Stiles and Partidge is the only one who hasnt inserted himself into the REDJOHN investigation. He knows Patrick is close so he's staying away from Patrick. That was the point of the nurse walking
into Lisbon's room looking for Carmen lee. Carmen Lee doesnt matter people. She was simply there to scout the room to let Haffner know when Lisbon was alone. Haffner fits the descriptions of REDJOHN given by Sophia Miller and Rosalyn Harker. Sophia also said he was a great whistler. Yes the other suspects whistled but it was Haffner who did it first before we ever heard that clue from Sophia. Haffner is a member of Visualize. The owner of a security firm and former CBI agent. Raymond Haffner meets all of the qualifications to be REDJOHN. Good looking, charming, has ties to Visualize, CBI, I think FBI and has his own security firm. Raymond Haffner is REDJOHN.

Haffners face at the end of the last episode when he's lifting the weights looks like the red John smiley a bit.

Not saying this is a theory, but a very noticeable feature about haffner when he's lifting the weights

As the search for Red John is coming to an end, I wonder what will happen when Red John is finally caught. The serie will and must take another twist. Maybe it's a long shot but I can't be blamed for not  trying.
Is it in the name Red John?
John the Baptist in the Bible is the forerunner/precursor of something greater: Jesus (in Red John's case of evil). John prepared the way for Jesus.
Is Red John preparing the way for a greater evil that will be bestowed on the world?

If you look into the names of Ray Haffner and Roy Tagliaferro. The meaning of Ray/Roy has something to do with red and king/counsel. Red John is clearly a narcissist and every narcissist feels he is king of the world. Ray Haffner is showing all the traits of the perfect narcissist. A troubled past. A smooth operator. And under all that grey hair Ray Haffner (Reed Diamond) is originally a ginger. 
Haffner means maker of pottery Tagliaferro means iron cutter in italian. Both are craft guilds. 
Has this something to do with freemasonry?!
John the Baptist and the Evangelist are very important within freemasonry. A long shot.
Freemasonry, Visualize, secret societies, conspiracies 
With greater conspiracies, greater fun
We'll have to wait and see
Have fun finding clues

As I mentioned in my earlier post ( #5653 ) , it is important to figure out why RJ killed Partridge.  As I was digging RJ episodes, I realized that in last episode ( 22 ) of  last season ( 5 ) , Partridge says that murder of Eileen turner ( Jane's happy memory  ) is bogus and RJ is working through friends and proxies lately. Maybe this is the reason why RJ killed Partridge. Remember   why he killed Jane's family and Panzer ( SJK ) ? 

Another interesting point in this episode ( S06E22 ) , when Jane tells Lisbon about his happy memory, Lisbons also tells hers back , which is her mother feeding piegons.
