Who is Red John?

Theories of SHiBBY (1)

Hey all, big fan of the show but I have some concerns that I am hoping someone can clear up for me.  There are many things that happened in seasons before that I feel are just being dismissed that really upsets me because it then gives me the impression that Bruno Heller is just making stuff up as he goes and everything that we analyzed to be concrete evidence is being dismissed and can be classified as a 'red herron' and give credit to Bruno for being clever when really its more that he just changed his mind on who red john is (atleast to me).  Hopefully someone can explain and clear things up or maybe these things will be addressed in the second half of the season finale...

1.  Rosalind Harkers description of Red John seems to have been completely dismissed... I mean just look at the room when Jane gathers every one, they are all completely different.

2.  "He is mar" that Jared Renfrew drew on the wall when he was killed still has yet to be explained...

3.  The visualize connection hasn't been explained (ie the guy that cleaned up after Jane killed the first guy he thought was Red John, how Bret Stiles knew where Red John had Kristina Frye, and the smiley face at the barn where visualize members were.)

4.  After Jane broke Lorelei out of federal prison, he stopped at a gas station to get some supplies and a little kid was just staring at him, and they focused on this for a good minute.  They wouldn't have done that if there was no significance behind it, but it still has not been explained.  

There are many other things that we learned from season 1-4 that are now just all being dismissed and forgotten which I really don't like.  I want to find out who red john is then rewatch those episodes and see that it makes sense.  Anyways I am hoping that everything is explained in the coming episodes and I did think that it was Bret Partridge but after Cho went back to check the body, then its not going to workout :(

Argue on this theory or rate it.
