Just a thought
If we consider that the show should originally have just one
season and if the screenwriters didn´t change the identity of Red John during
the show, Red John should be someone who appeared in the season one.
If we can trust the list of seven suspects, we must eliminate:
Bret Stiles (s02e20),
Gale Bertram (s03e01) TT, Ray Haffner (s04e02), Reede Smith (s05e01) TT, Bob Kirkland (s05e07)
(Even Walter Mashburn is out of the game (s02e13))
Then we get just two main suspects:
Brett Partridge
(s01e01) and Thomas McAllister (s01e02)
TT
Partridge is dead and McAllister has a tattoo.
So we can expect resurrection or Red John is a member of
Tiger Tiger
The question is how long the TT organisation exists. If Red
John recruited from the organisation or the organisation was founded on the
basis of Red John´s personality.
(The only character who´s there from the first season and appears
periodically during the show is CBI Ron – who´s the guy?, he doesn´t have surname
and we don´t know anything about him but he´s always there in the background –
but he´s not on the list)
__________________________________________________________________________________
Just a note under the line – Red John has special
relationship with women (some kind of fobia?) and as well his accomplices are
kidnappers and killers of women – Ted Hardy (s01e23), Timothy Carter (s03e24),
Jason Lennon (s05e16)
In s01e02 there is a couple
which kidnapps and kills women and McAllister is there and tries to „help“ Van
Pelt

If the screenwriters changed the identity of Red John during
the show it can be whoever.
Will see next week ;)
