Hello!

To be honest: I do not have a clue who will be Red John in the end.

I just wanted to make you consider the following possibilities:

PJ is ahead - he created this list and staged it all. As in previous cases it's a small bait for the killer: like a faked diary e.g. that makes him nervous and do someting to reveal his identity. This time: a list of the final suspects.

Lorelei is not dead - otherwise there is now way she could have read PJs list 2 months before. As PJ said to Lisbon when asked how RJ did it: "I don't know, it's a trick".

The list must not include RJ - PJ just wanted to create chaos and suspiscion among all (and Heller including the audience). Everyone suspects someone and PJ is waiting for RJ to make a mistake.

Partridge must not be dead - even this may involve PJs doing so that all the others on the list try even more desperate to find RJ after a "kill" happened. That' why RJ did not kill Lorelei, it was staged (although the surprise call from RJ to PJ After the Assault does not fit in).

PJ also expected Lisbon to tell the others about the list so that the suspicion gets inside the Team.

Thank you very much for reading.
