Jared Renfrew appears in Red John's Friends. Renfrew had been in prison for one year for the murder of his housekeeper's daughter (and his half-sister) Andine, with whom he had been having an affair. He contacted Jane, said he was innocent, and told him that he would give him information about Red John if Jane would help him to get out of prison. Jane agreed to the bargain and went to his house, where he met Mrs. Renfrew, her mother and Gardiner Renfrew, Jared's brother. After an investigation, the CBI team discovered that the Andine's killer was actually Mrs. Renfrew. Now proven innocent, Jared was able to get out of prison.
