Well missStiles should go to therapy for being scared about people who gives their opinion about a show.
Now, this is the first time i ever share a theory, but there are some things that i think is important to notice.
In episode 6x01, did u guys notice how lisbon fell? Im not near a brett partridge fan or want him to be red john , i dont have any red john favorite i just want to know who is the real(cant be McCallister he is just so lame), comin back to the scene moment.... looks like she is grabbed from the floor and got knocked out by the fall. So , you may ask... and the blood from partridge? well he is a forensics guy , he saved some of his own blood for that moment and faked the dna from the body , which wouldnt be hard from red john to fake his own death, he even call patrick not caring about the voice because jane wouldnt think that red john will do that stupid thing.
The main characteristic of red john is that he wouldnt let someone do the dirty work for him, he is a showman, an artist , an artist wouldnt let someone else do the work, HE has to do it, so... every kill when the red smile appears, red john has killed. So when patrick was save from the crazy guys in 2x23, he probably wasnt red john, i think that guy was timothy carter , the voice and everything was from him and from the 6x01 we can deduce the real red john is partridge . Is that or believe that Mcsissyallister managed to kill partridge and knock out lisbon surrounded by pigeons. Why would partridge let lisbon alive? So she could tell patrick she witnessed an injured partridge.
I really believe that a genius, like red john is supposed to be, the "moriarty" of jane (like heller said in an interview) wouldnt kill a suspect from the 7 list because why in the world will you make things easier for jane. 7 is much better than 6, at that point jane didnt have any real clue, partridge was even member of the blake association !!!!!! Why would red john kill him?? , makes no sense. What makes sense is that a genius, inmediately wants to get erased from that list.
So the big question here is why would jane , a genius too, wouldnt see all this , the fake death, the fake clues... why? because he wants to move on he wants closure, he cant be objective about red john or smart as he usually is because all that he wants is to see him die.
Maybe thats why he didnt want to go back to california, to avoid finding another clue or even thinking that McAllister wasnt the right guy.

And dont ever believe that cunt of heller, he already told the audience that we would have answers , and we didnt , now he say its over, so he is a lier and one of the two possibilities is the truth, because of that everyone has the right to keep making theories until the end of the series arrive.
Thats all.
P.D sorry for bad english.
