Who is Red John

It's not Micheal Kirkland guys....It's Bob!

Here's why

Heller as a personality going by his interviews wants to be the brilliant one here, for that he needs to deceive us and not let us say...Hey we saw that coming or Hey! that was impossible man!

If he brings back Partridge from the dead, fans will say it was trying too hard for a twist and most would have guessed.
If it is one of the remaining 5 it is too obvious.
What is a way of having a brilliant twist without doing any spooky or impossible stuff?

Get the twin angle in. Make us believe that it is Micheal Kirkland who is or involved with Red John, kill bob so all fingers will point at Micheal.

Now if Micheal was the one that was killed by Reede Smith and Bob is still alive, then it would not be spooky like coming back from the dead, because the twin angle is logical and we would still be thinking about Micheal so it would not be obvious.

Bob Kirkland meets all descriptions, all teases from the show producers apart from one, that is when they said 'Red John was there from the beginning' which is a very loose ended statement.

Might be wrong but finally thought of something so sharing. What do you think?

Love your theories!

Great theories I must say, I think Bruno Heller might get a lot of script ideas from here.

I think it's Bob Kirkland and not Micheal Kirkland.

From the News article they released we know that it is one of the suspects. Partridge as the producers confirmed he is dead. Now Heller in an interview mocked lost saying it had lose ends, he would not lie about partridge when he makes bold statements like that, which will show him in bad light.

We know Heller will pull a quick one on us. To do that he needs a double twist.
He led us to believe that Bob was a good guy and Micheal to have gone wrong.
Then He killed Bob Kirkland.

I however think that Bob Kirkland is Red John, who sent Micheal to die as bait thus leading us to believe that Micheal might be the baddie, Red John.

Also if you notice when Reede Smith takes Bob/Micheal into the woods to shoot him, he looks surprised, something is off there for sure.

The important thing to notice is that Red John can't be wither Bertram, McAllister or Reede Smith because in the next episode Great Red Dragon, when they Round up Tyger Tyger group, Patrick says "He is one of them" but he already knows that Bertram, McAllister adn Reede Smith are part of Tyger Tyger, then why say he is one of them. So RJ will be concealed with the Tyger Tyger group, and will be revealed in episode 8.

So Bob Kirkland and not Micheal is Red John.
