Who is Red John?

Theories of Fire (3)

First of all, I'm really open-minded, I mean, I'm not a hater, I always liked Partridge as Red John but I didn't look blindly to it, I've always checked the other theories and honestly, a lot were plausible.
Now about this last episode... seriously? That was the great Red John appearance?
I'm not complaining about the fact that McAlister was Red John but how he faced Jane..."please don't kill me" like, really?
On my mind Red John would act just like the emperor on the Gladiator's final scene (2000 film). He would say something about Jane's wife and daughter that would make us hate him hard and laugh on his face in a psychotic way and then he goes "you can kill me Patrick, nothing will change, you won't have your wife and child back" (which is true) and then he says "the game is over and I won".
Speaking of which, wtf was that? They just dubbed his voice on this phrase..WHY? So the promo would tease us, seriously this revelation makes no sense to me at all, specially the fact that the great mastermind Red John was so pathetic when facing his nemesis and begging for his life.
What about the pidgeon? How the heck Cordero didn't notice that when cheking for any guns? And why did Patrick had a pidgeon with him if he though Bertram was Red John?
And I'm not sure how a sheriff can be a serial killer like Red John, who controls a freaking secret empire and do his daily sheriff things. I think even Stiles would be a better Red John...

Seriously I am disapointed, not by the fact he was Thomas but because he was so pathetic begging for his life and because he regrets killing Jane's wife and daughter AND he is afraid of death, how come a guy that lives in danger and been hunted the whole life afraid of death? Come on...he seems to be not smart at all and yet he tricket Jane for ten years.
Honestly I think we could have scripted a better episode even Ron had some interesting theories here.
Peace out guys and leave a comment if you will.

Fire and Brimstone

When Jane told Bertram to meet him, Bertram called a misterious person, which seems to be Red John, I mean, who else could be? And he told Red John about the meeting. Quick note: if Red John is one of the five suspects and Bertram called him, he knows Jane is gathering all the five suspects together, because Jane asked him too.

Just like another theory I just read saying that Red John would never place a bomb where he would be, because he is a narcissist and he will make sure that everyone knows who Red John was before he dies.
But if Red John is not one of those five suspects in the room, how did he knew where the meeting was? Easy: Bertram told him.

Accusing Bret Stiles
He is the only one that would plant a bomb in such a suicidal way (he is dying), and when he arrives looks like he is looking for the others, and how did he knew about the others? Bertram.
But wait, there is a failure, Red John is a narcissist, he wouldn't bomb himself like this even when dying, so, I don't think it's Stiles I just wanted to share this thought.

About Michael Kirkland
I keep repeating this all the time, and I'll say it again: it's really unlikely that we have seen Michael Kirkland on the show and if we really did, this is such a script failure.
I tell you why. Bob has been looking for his brother for some long time and never found any clue. He can get a lot of information about anyone he wants, he just ''stalks'' them and investigate and do this kind of stuff. Now, do you really think that a guy like this wouldn't know if the brother he was looking for years was using his name? If he knew it, why the hell would he torture the people from the fake list? His vendetta would be completely pointless. This is why I assume we never saw Michael, unless it's a script failure...I think he is really dead

Final point

I know a lot of you are really pissed of Partridge theories (I once was too), but seriously, he fits everything so perfectly, specially his voice, and his looks. Also he seems to like everything working perfectly with no failures, just like Red John's crimes, just check the very first episode (S01E01) when Rigsby is like blocking the way, Partridge seems to get really annoyed by such a little reason.
And also, I know a lot of you have read this, but we never saw his dead body, and I think this is relevant since it's a crime investigation show and we see dead bodies all the time, also, he faked his death and traped Lisbon because he knew Jane would just freak out and rush to save her and that Jane wouldn't give a damn about Partridge's ''dead'' body. And he also did make sure that Lisbon saw him ''dying''. He could easily escape, he works with the forensics and he certainly has some friends there to help him out.

Thanks for reading, comments appreciated!

There is something I just realized, they said Simon did those (at least some) Red John voices right? Now please imagine the upcoming scene when finally Patrick meets Red John face to face, let's say for example that Red John is, I don't know, Gale Bertram who has a deep voice, very different from that Simon-Red-John-voice on the phone calls.
Now the thing is will they just dub a face-to-face scene? That would be really stupid and nonsense, so my point...I think none of us is considering the voice itself as a huge clue as it seems to me, all that clues like ''suspect X is left/right handed and so he is Red John" or "someone said something in X episode that means he is Red John" I think those theories are unlikely but not impossible.

Back to my point, I assume that the pitched voice is his real voice, why? Easy. Remember that episode when Patrick meets a little girl who send a message to him? When Teresa and the team arrive, Patrick reveals that he hypnotized the girl because everyone who can identify Red John ends up dead, but before that he asked the girl how he was. AND if I recall right, she says something about his voice like "funny voice" something like that...and also the season 2 finale when they're face to face (or face to mask) and Red John has that voice just like that season 6x01 during the phone call, so I think it IS a relevant clue, therefore there are only two of the seven suspects that fits that voice, I mean, that can reach that voice easily, Bob Kirkland and Brett Partridge.

The show itself shows Bob as the more likely real Red John during season 5 so, a lot of movies with investigation involved, a lot of times the most obvious suspect is actually the real one.
About Partridge, he isn't a obvious suspect at first, but after checking websites like this one, there are a lot of plausible theories including him and so, he might be our guy and also I think he's the most likely Red John of all suspects.

PS: I think every theory here if it has a good point it is plausible, even if you don't agree with, I mean a lot of theories here including Bertram or Haffner I don't agree with, however they are plausible in some way. My point, don't downvote a theory if you just don't agree with it.
