Who is Red John?

Theories of Maybe-and-maybe-not (6)

Before the list my two suspects were Mashburn or Bertram. Mashburn was a suspect for the money/resources and the free time to kill people and Bertram was a suspect for his police connections. I am left with Bertram as a suspect.

Like many of you I was puzzled with the strange meeting Bertram had with Kirkland about trusting Teresa. However now it makes sense. Kirkland was trying to identify people in the tiger tiger society by pretending to be one of them (meeting with Reed Smith). So Robert Kirkland probably told Bertram Tyger Tyger but Bertram being Red John knew that he was not in the TT society. 
Also remember when Rebecca told Jane that RJ wanted him back on the case so he wanted Bosco dead. All supervisors that were between Bertram and Jane were either killed or moved away so Bertram /RJ could be closer to PJ.

My only problem with Bertram is the timing. How would someone in that kind of job would have the time to go on a killing spree? Also Jane had Bertram all this time under his nose and was not able to see through him.

Regarding a solen fake list, could that be Kirkland's list that PJ set him up to take. Remember PJ smiled once he noticed that someone entered his secret place. So it could be that Kirkland is now is after killing all the fake RJ. 
The "Do you recognize me??" to  Lenon might just be Do you recognized me as the man who is after RJ.

Sorry if someone already posted the same theory regarding the stolen fake list

I am accusing Brett Stiles but the system did not allow me to choose anyone else.

It is a known fact that criminals such as serial killers tend to return to the crime scene. As you recall that was the case for Panzer who was pretending to help out. So if Heller still wants to be authentic in his serial killer profiling, Partridge is indeed the prime suspect to the viewers since he is always there for Red John's crime scenes.
However, since Heller has already given us a taste of a typical serial killer with Panzer, I would suspect anyone else just from a story line perspective to make it more interesting. Of course Heller also said we will be disappointed when we discover who Red John is so in that case Partridge it is.

However, some of the others on the list could have been at the crime scenes but we just not see them except for Kirkland who was there for Lorelei.
Many of you have already dismissed Kirkland for XYZ reasons because he did not kill Lennon the typical Red John's way, he did not shook hand with PJ at the right time or he did not enter PJ research scene at the right time. 
If RJ is that clever, wouldn't he make sure that he has alibis during all these times. "cannot be me I only found out then... cannot be me, I did not have contact with Lorelei during that time" 

If Heller is using the serial killer profiling of the 'returning to the crime scene' and let us investigate the clues those  two are my main suspects.

Is Lisbon involved with RJ somehow?

Since PJ told her about the hand shake, she has been acting differently towards Jane and the RJ case.
1. The main thing was during the episode Lennon was murdered by RK. She tried to get PJ out of the hospital claiming that Lennon was safe since RK and his team were watching him so nothing would happen. She should have know by now that none of RJ minions are safe when captured. Rebecca got killed surrounded by police officers.
2. An other Lisbon strange behavior was when she saw Robert Kirkland office. She had a bit of the girlfriend reaction who is about to meet her boyfriend. She fixed her hair, removed her jacket, and pushed her shoulders back. 
3. I also found the conversation between RK and Bertram about trusting her strange. Why?
Lisbon has always been very square and for the most part she has following the law but her recent behavior has been kind of strange. 
So then I started to think back about the last episode of season 3 and 4 where Red John capture did not happen and she was the first one to know that Jane had a plan to get RJ. What about if in season 3, she was the informant who told RJ about the whole thing. O'laughlin shooting at her could have been staged. He was an FBI agent (so trained shooter) shooting at proximity and he still missed her. In season 4, RJ requested Lisbon's head as he knew she would report back to him.
As Darcy mentioned to PJ why RJ has not done anything against anyone on Lisbon's team. Lisbon has obviously affection for her team.
There might be other reasons for all of the above but now I would not be surprised if Lisbon would be involved as a RJ minion. Could Lisbon be the Fearful Symmetry that the RJ is referring to...

This is not a theory but more of an observation. Based on PJ recollection, we can see that he enters his home but there is not sign of broken entry. In fact in his memory, he only discovers his wife and child dead body once he enters the room.
Would this be a clue that his wife might have known RJ or that it would be someone she would trust(Law enforcement officer) to let that person in. Also it would be explain that RJ knows about the childhood memory if it were someone she knew but not so much a a law enforcement officer.  Was it ever explained how RJ entered PJ's home? 
Let me know what you think.

We all don't know, who actually RJ is but I'm 100% sure that it IS NOT Jane.
Maybe with some special effects they can give Simon Baker(Jane) another role as Jane's twin and he can play a second role at the final chapter. Why a twin(because RedJonh is as clever as Jane)
