Who is Red John?

Theories of Shadow (6)

The whole episode 5 was about Haffner. The Haffner which is still as dumb as a shoe and definitely not RJ.
Why do you all believe RJ killed the poor PI? How come she said she is working for Visualize? Only dumb Haffner was trying to hire this PI and failed like a child. Then went to cover up is dear career as private contractor. Yes, most likely if Haffner was dumb enough, which is not surprising head had his sleeves up revealing his tattoo while kill the poor woman.
I'm very disappointed about 2 previous episodes, but hey we need to go them one by one...

About poker...
It has been clearly stated in many theories how RJ can't be a weak poker player which PJ will teach.
Right?
Was the poker more of an excuse than anything else to get to know Lisbon? She was invited to poker table, out of nowhere, by FBI agent. And at location presented to abundantly powerful from judge to senator to Bertram. Maybe the whole sequence of events was "Bertram invitational".

As of PJ "walking over" Bertram, yes maybe, allowed... yes, no purpose, who knows? But he seems to be in most of the case the man with last say (easy to put on his position of power).

Reede Smith telling something to Bertram in "commanding" voice doesn't mean anything.
Maybe Reede doesn't understand that the destruction of their precious organization is coming within.
As some has stated: Bertram is pals with vengeance seeing Kirkland as well as Tyger Tyger Smith, isn't it a perfect position to be and play games?!
After all Kirkland was seeking for a person who had seen his twin brother, wonder if ever asked that question from Bertram...

Sociopath Timothy Carter was smart enough to invite people to search for missing girl who he had kidnapped.
Looking at Bertram's impressive collection of handshakes and awards from who knows of what bravery, I start to wonder...

Man sitting relaxed on his seat and sipping his tea? from a mug full of fishes small and big, is it RJ...

I dislike people being sooo convinced about Ray Haffner! 
He is just an oppressed kid in the shadow of  his own father and in my eyes dumb as a shoe. 
Father is Brett Stiles. RJ is not Haffner.

Our killer is a lone fisherman.

He has been alone from very young age most likely due to alcoholism in family.
Walking through the rough life of young age he got in touch with Visualize.
Understood himself better, especially his unique skills of understanding the tormented.

Ever since he have seen himself highly moral person. In some sense loathing the weak, the ones who can't carry themselves.
He has helped many to find themselves, though he has understood his own duplicity and the dark side as well.
He has manipulated people to see him as a saviour kind of, though inside he has weighted people whether they are able to stand or their own feet
or they are easy to lead and manipulate.

Ever since our fisherman got to know PJ he has been jealous about him and curious. He has seen him similar to him though the light side of him.
"There can't be light without darkness"
This has drawn and increased his want to be closer and closer PJ.

Our fisherman from light side is all about elegance of beautiful music, poetry and similar. As said, he sees himself highly moral.

On his dark side he is manipulative and for some reason kills women. Something related to childhood and mother?
He has utilized his skills in several places where similar people; people have suffered in their youth some kind of abuse andlived in
various unhappy places.

He have used and killed many people he helped and saw them to fall back be victims of their own pasts; alcohol, abuse and what not.

The life of this highly skilled manipulator consist of
Beauty, elegance of classical music and poetry
Manipulating smaller or bigger fish is his cup of tea
Having difficulty to find women worthy
As PJ have said, a sociopath, able making a crowd to love him like Timothy Carter, who intiated a look for a girl who he had kidnapped

There is only one person left between PJ and RJ, Teresa, the woman with past of Alcoholic father who stands her own ground proudly
and with high morals. He respects Teresa.

As I see it end of season 3 was a masterpiece and season 5 was full of indications of our killer.
Too bad Lorelai was too fast to shoot the only person who would have been easily indicate the killer, and Kirkland provided
a finishing touch for this person on his personal road to Vendetta.

You find your subject. I stick to mine. (He is one of the Seven, don't like to anchor you.)

Random observations.
Crystine Frye is sister of FBI agent who shot the CBI head.
Strange how suddenly 1 month ago CBI dropped non-dating rule among agents. PJ seemed to be happy about. I doubt there will be happy ending for new weds.
Amazing amount red head people in series 2% of population are red headed.
Mystery of one of them, van Pelt is still to be revealed.

I'm down to 2.
My original and still current guess Bertram and then the dead man Partridge.
I want to see Partridge moaned in an open coffin, and to be sure he is dead. Otherwise all the Red Dragon and anything related to Tyger Tyger poet starts to be heavy weight resurrection evidence.

The elegance of season 3 final has left me to wonder why did Jane, by influence of RJ?, suddenly get so confident of how the room arrangement was indicated. He drove Bertram away, as a "wrong" subject.
PJ: "Walk away!"
RJ: "There will be consequences! Mark my words."

The remaining characters are just not enough "at plain sight" as these 2 have been.

I wonder why people are inclined to take on the clues which are the most concrete? Perhaps I'm too inclined to the subtle (plain at sight) clues...
