I keep reading all these far-fetched and honestly, quite ridiculous theories, and I think,"This is way to complicated! Think back to what Patrick always says! "The simplest answer is usually the correct one."" I honestly don't think Bruno would make it so complicated by making PJ or Lisbon Red John, Lorelei still being alive or more of this nonsense. People made it way to complicated by letting their imaginations loose or thinking of ways the story line could become "interesting." Anyway, lets get to it.
What so we know? We know that RJ is a shade less than 6'0, short, straight black hair and a soft voice. This is based on Rosalind's description in the season 1 finale. Logically, this would rule out Bret Stiles, because of his age and physique. However, even if I rule out a suspect as Red John, I most certainly will not rule them out as a disciple. Bertram is bald and 6'3. Reeder Smith is fat and his physical characteristics are not the same as Rosalind's description. Sherriff McAllister is taller and too unimportant and slightly older than RJ. His characteristics are not those of RJ's. Ray Haffener is 6'1, and even though many people might say that is almost six feet, he does not match the description and does not seem smart enough. Now we get to the last tow who are more believable. Robert Kirkland, a Homelqmd Security agent could very well be RJ. He is definetly a suspect after he murdered Jason. But, he is 5'9, and I'm sorry people, but I don't see him as RJ, even if he is a murderer and probably a disciple. Last but certainly not least, Brett Partridge. His voice. Listen to the voice of Red John from the season 2 or 4 finale, and compare it with RJ's. He could definetly modify it like that, IF he even modifies it. Next, he is 5'11. The exact height Rosalind Harker described. He is the forensics expert on RJ crimes, so he could tidy up after himself, and being with the CBI, he can keep on eye on Jane. I feel that he has a hidden side and he holds something back. He is definetly the serial killer maniac psychopath type of guy. He is more than he lets on. PJ and him naturally hate each other.
Even if I am against the nonsense of many theories, I won't deny there is something fishy about most of these suspects and they are on the list for a reason. For instance, maybe Stiles is the master mind, and he sends his assassins under one symbol to murder. Not saying that is what I think, just saying I won't rule it out.
Anyway, I trust the list and I am certain PJ is not RJ, nor is Lisbon.
Thanks for reading!
