Who is Red John

Folks,

Emotions are clearly running high here.

Haven't seen the 'leaked/hacked' video, but definitely get the gist of what's in it.

Can't say then if it's real or not, but, as far back as 1980, CBS did tape multiple versions of the 'Who shot JR' cliff hanger (which, if I'm correct, may have actually been the show that kicked off the whole notion of season ending cliff hangers) whereby each of the characters in fact had a scene during which they shot JR.

The purpose then (and this was well before the internet made it substantially easier to spread information) was to keep the reveal secret, even from the actors, so as to protect it from becoming known to the public in advance.

Not saying that's what's happening here, but for those who believe it's an impossibility, it has been done before by this very network.

Argue on this theory or rate it.

So,

Based upon this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwjaSWWSD60 it would seem that someone (very unexpectedly) comes back (from the past / from the dead).

So, I'm curious: if it were an off the List candidate to be Red John (which I believe is still very much a possibility in play), I'm thinking Walter Mashburn (it interesting to note that on the following link http://thementalist.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Characters, the list of characters breaks out the list of seven separately from the litany of other characters, but Bob Kirkland is omitted whereas WM is included), or Brett Partridge (who despite being dead, remains on the list, unlike BK).

However, if not an RJ suspect, and it's simply intrigue (perhaps a plot twist), I'm thinking:

- Erica Flynn
- Kristina Frye
- Alex Jane
- Ellis Mars
- Lorelei Martins

Any other candidates?
