in that interview BH did not say RJ is on the or one of the names on the list.
All he said was "yes we can trust the list"
it can heve another meaning than RJ is one of the suspects. it could be we can trust the people on the list, they are not bad people, the're not RJ,, PJ knows none of those is RJ.
he is using them. he may be getting help from haffner and stiles.
how did jane knew where to find stiles before everybody. the letter that stiles recieved "PJ is looking for you" was from him and not from cooper or anyone else in visualise, look at the handwriting, pictures in the comments, the same as on PJ's first list.
the whole thing about the list is a trap, that PJ is doing to get RJ
except for Smith because we saw him killing kirkland,, but i think it was something else we'll discover it later.
BH didn't say that RJ will be killed he said " If and when Red John is caught, there’s an interesting life dilemma for Patrick Jane and the rest. I think it would be very odd if Red John falls dead "
PJ will catch RJ alone, and either RJ escapes again, Patrick will be punished and call back later because RJ is killing again, and this time, it would be the last season, he will catch him for good. the differnce is that we know who RJ is.
