ARGUMENTATION

It must be.

Brett Stiles: too old, too buddy-buddy with Jane; not around from the beginning

Gale Bertram: too old, spends ALL his time in the CBI, he doesn't have opportunity to network etc.

Reede Smith: is who exactly? no. Also, too big a frame.

Sheriff McAllister: another theory mentioned how creepy he was. I should also note how "baffled" he is that Jane can beat him in rock paper scissors in episode 1. HOWEVER. Where's he been? The audience would be pissed

Ray Haffner: again, may be connected, but hasn't been around much. He hasn't even "popped up periodically". I feel like he's in something sketchy (either with Visualize or Red John) but isn't the culprit. Also, seems pretty old.

Kirkland: so sketch. Honestly would think it was him if they didn't play into it so hard. I'm much more viable to agree with those who say he's also seeking vengeance, or thinks that it's Jane himself.

Leaving.

Partridge. He's been around since the beginning and fits all description. I find it hard to see, because he lacks the charisma of a world-know serial killer.

But isn't that the point of the show? Season 3 finale, it's all about how Red John is just another person. He's not a monstrosity, just a sick human. Partridge fits that. Works as a forensic investigator, likes to act out the scenes at killings, and has distinct animosity with Jane. I can't see it being anyone else now.
