The proof(s) we keep hearing that Partridge faked his death and is actually alive.

And I admit, they're VERY convincing:

1. See, they didn't show his face when Cho checked the body.
2. It was Partridge, not some other assailant, that took out Lisbon in the house where Partridge was "killed."
3. Bruno Heller said that Partridge was killed by RJ (Now why would he say that unless Partridge FAKED his death?)
4. The presence of pigeons in the house. C'mon, why would there be pigeons in the house unless it was a faked death scene.
5. The actor who plays Partidge said that he was indeed dead and not coming back on the show. PA-LEASE! Why would the actor say this except that he was lying and wanted to trick us.
6. He is creepy and it's obvious that creepy people don't really die on shows like this--but they do sometimes fake their deaths.
7. He was dressed like a woman and feeding pigeons in the very next episode.

The proof(s) we keep hearing that it must be Partridge and that no one else could possibly be Red John:

1. He says "Red John enters here" in the very first episode.
2. They always show him next to the Red John smiley face on the wall.
3. The actor who plays him also played a serial killer on Criminal Minds.
4. The actor who plays him is said to be gay in real life.
5. Brett Partridge must be Bret Styles' son, which then, naturally, makes him RJ as well.
6. Partridge and Jane are really paternal twins separated at birth (Brett probably given away by Patrick's parents because they preferred the baby with blonde hair).
7. Because no one really wants it to be Bertram, Smith, Haffner, Sheriff, Kirkland(s), Styles, and it cannot be Kristina Frye or Grace Van Pelt because we know RJ's a man and not a woman.

The proof(s) we keep hearing that Patrick Jane has already figured out that Partridge is RJ:

1. In one episode, Jane referred to Partridge as a "ghoul" which we know is celtic for "someone who kills."
2. Jane notice the similarity between Red John's voice in the season 2 finale and that of Partridge.
3. Jane suspects that Brett Partridge might be gay.
4. Jane has know that Partridge/RJ has been head of BA all along.
5. Of the 7 suspects, Brett is the one that Jane has always personally disliked the most.
6. Jane can't imagine Lorelai being attracted to or captivated by anyone else on the list as much as she would Partridge.
7. Patrick Jane has suspected all along that of all the possible suspects, no other person has the resources, power, charm, or killer instinct like Partridge. I mean, c'mon!
