Who is Red John?

Theories of Scarlett58 (1)

I Win.  I was right.  The small minority of people that said the list was fake have be vindicated. Jane planted a fake list and the real list has Richard Haibach on it.  All the favorite suspects will likely be on it:  Walter Mashburn, Dean Harken, Ardiles, Ellis Mars, etc.  I do suspect that the real list will have less than seven names though.  RJ is going to be Mashburn.
