Did anyone realize, that the character and charisma from Ray Haffner did changed radically in the 2 Episodes when he appears? In Season 2 Episode 2 PJ was in Haffners Team, because lisbon was suspended.. but he wasn´t able to manage and Control PJ, he was too smart for him. And they shoke hands. Interesting: In ths Episode Haffner, Betram and PJ sat on the same office. PJ and 2 RJ suspects in one room. Was that a coincidence? I dont think so. In Season 5 Episode 13 (or was it 15?..nut sure yet ) the charisma of Haffener had changed radically, as is said above. He offered Lisbon a new Job and a new life, like Lorelei did with PJ. RJ is very interested in Lisbon, in the Last Episode from Season 4 he wants Lisbons head.
Brett Patridge is a sociopath, but not charismatic enough to manipulate so many member from FBI and CBI... is Patridge really able to manipulate people on this way, that others people would die for HIM, like Timothy Carter and o Laoughlin? i think not.
Perhaps Patridge is really Red John, butI am sure that Bruno HEller is reading this site and our theories. And he can see that so many prople suspects Brett Patridge. Because this, i am pretty sure that he would change the script.
