Who is Red John?

Theories of Mech (1)

Eventhough Minelli isn't one of Jane's 7 suspects, I believe Jane is hiding his real list, and came up with a fake list which was some-what predictable that Red John could have guessed. The reason he didn't tell Lisbon his real list is because he thinks Lisbon is a terrible liar as he has mentioned many a time throughout the series. But anyway back to my theory of it being Minelli, in season one, it is very coincidental how Minelli leaves to go on holiday during Renfrew's death. This may be a bit far-fetched but hey. Furthermore, as Renfrew was dying he wrote "He is Mar" There has been some speculation saying that this could have been referring to Ellis Mars, however Jane and the team did not know of Ellis Mars until season 4 and frankly it would be difficult to identify a serial killer based on a second name this is quite popular. I think that Renfrew was trying to say "Marnelli" and Renfew being Renfrew spelt his name wrong. 

Argue on this theory or rate it.
