Don't you guys find it strange that Patrick, who has solved hundreds of murder cases, doesn't get any strange feeling from any of the suspects?
If he sees a victim killed by Red John, he always knows it was him, he can feel it. How come he can't really feel anything when he is talking to the 7 suspects?
I think it might be because Red John is either Stiles (he is extremely smart) or Kirkland (Patrick and him haven't really talked enough), or Brett Partridge (again, they haven't talked that much but Patrick always had an uneasy feeling about him and now he is conveniently 'dead'.)
He's had lots of contact with Bertram, Haffner and now the sheriff, he would get a feeling if it's them, wouldn't he?
I also don't think it's Kirkland because of the next episode's preview. And I never considered Smith.
So for me it can only be Stiles or Partridge.:)
