Theories of EzekielRage (2)

I have screengrabbed Gale Bertrams USB list.
Have fun with decoding it:

Facts confirmed by Heller as truth and not Red Herrings:

Every piece of info in Season 6 is the truth
Red John is a man
He is on the List of 7
Patridge is dead

So with that knowledge and things we know from the past we can narrow the list down.
It's not Reede Smith as he is not fit as described in Episode 2 of Season 6
It's not Stiles since he is too old HOWEVER he could still be involved (likely)
It's not Bertram since we know Red John has dark hair (not neccesarily black since in a dimly lit room dark is easily mistaken for black) and Bertram is bald.

That leaves Kirkland, McAllister and Heffner. It's PROBABLY not Kirkland as it would be the easiest pick. Also, he had people break into Jane's room AFTER Lorelei was dead. So he could not deduce the list from those files since he saw them AFTER the video with Lorelei was made. Furthermore Red Johns accomplice did not recognize him in the Hospital. So Kirkland is out.

We now have McAllister and Heffner left. Both VERY likely candidates, both match most of the various descriptions given and both would match the build of the peole we have seen to be Red John. Heffner is connected to Visualize and Stiles. A theory would be that Heffner is Red John and Stiles was his Mentor of sorts or functioned as a father figure when he developed his killing habit. This is a very likely scenario. Alos he appeared in a few episodes before and is incredibly charming. Jane did trick him but that could be a ruse.

McAllister is likely because despite just having one episode earlier, it was written by Heller himself and he fits the age (as in the show he is roughly 50) and also has an interesting thing going on. He is the head of the department in Nappa county and interestingly enough the episode with him is set there where also coincidentally two of Red Johns deciples were killing people. He did lose in Rock Paper Scissors against Jane but that means nothing as he could have easily faked that.

So those two are the most likely candidates IF Heller was telling the truth and not lying about the facts stated above. 

Stiles knows who Red John is since he worked on the Visualize farm. So if McAllister is not revealed as a Visualize Member we have our answer. Personally, I believe Haffner is Red John with Stiles as his mentor, maybe even being Red John himself with Haffner as his protegé.

November will tell :)
