I just wanted to ask the people who think it is Brett Partridge. Does he have the money or the power/connections to commit all of those killings over the years?  Is he good-looking/charming enough to seduce all these women and make people do whatever he wants them to do for him?  Is he extremely smart/brilliant in fact?  Would the real Red John act like he's obsessed with Red John's work?  I think the answer here is no on all counts, don't you?
