Theories of RedEbu (2)

Well, I gotta say, I'm REALLY happy that Reede Smith is not RJ. I actually started to like the character after the fact being revealed. Anyways:

I got 4 options: McAllister, Bertram, Partridge and Haffner.

First let's start with Partridge. I think he's dead. Of course it's possible for him to fake his death with the help of the Blake clan. Very unlikely but Partridge would be sure to not disappoint.

Next let's take Bertram down. At this point he's too obvious. There wouldn't be any twist if it was him. Sure he's a killer but not an RJ killer. But his the most recognizable character on the show after the CBI team so everybody would know who he is.

Now to Haffner. This guy is my second option just because he was my number 1 suspect. Part of Visualize, crush on Lisbon etc. all would make him a good Red John... But I think he was an innocent man killed in the bombing.

And now, sheriff Thomas McAllister. As the list was first shown everybody thought he was a bad option, me included. Until his second appearance. He was so friendly to Patrick, clearly wanted his friendship. Here's more reasons:
- He is played by Xander Berkeley, a talented actor who'd make a great performance.
- He could have faked the death easily, put the bomb in his hat and put a body in there with his blood or something then run away.
- 'He is Mar' He Is Mac Allister? He Is Marshal?
- Fits Rosalind's description the best out of all (except for Partridge and Kirkland who's dead)
- Appeared in the first season, the first episode to be titled with 'red'.
- He's like Waldo. Appearance in one episode and nobody suspects a thing even when put on the list.
- Has a fear of birds or just pidgeons. RJ has a fobia too of some sorts.
- Good shooter and so is Red John. They also wear same kind of boots (S2 finale).

I hope I'm right but I'll be satisfied with any of the four. Thanks for taking your time reading this!

I've been watching and reading theories here pretty much from the beginning and thought I'd finally share my thoughts. This is the first of them.

This time I suspect Robert 'Bob' Kirkland, the Homeland Security agent. Anyone who has watched the fifth season knows this guy and everyone knows he has something to do with Red John. I will analyse every option.

First let's say he's RJ himself. I personally think he'd make the best Red John of 'em all. I know he might be a bit too obvious and suspicious but maybe Bruno Heller wants to fool us with that. He has always made all the tricks so suprising and this time the most obvious could in fact be the most surprising.
  He's appearance is something I've always thought RJ woild have; His voice, height, personality etc. Also fits Rosalind Harker's description.
  Now to the scenes of the show. 
First appearance: The limo scene was suspicious and the fact that Kirkland has actually always been there makes it a good twist.
First meeting with Jane: If Kirkland is revealed to be RJ, this scene will be pure gold. The lines were brilliant!
Kirkland: *bumps into Jane* Sorry mr. Jane.
Jane: Do I know you?
Kirkland: No, but I know you. *Shakes his hand and smiles, then walks away*
And the music makes it all even more epic. This happened in the episode before the one where Lorelei tells Jane he has shaken hands with RJ.

Killing Jason Lennon: He asks Lennon if he recognizes him and the answer is negative. Maybe Bob manipulated Lennon to forget his face (RJ can manipulate people) or he had a face surgeon.
The list: If he is RJ then it means Lorelei is still alive. They just tricked Patrick so he wouldn't suspect that.
That's pretty much all I can dig up. If RJ then he could be Patrick's brother. It's possible that Patrick wasn't the only child.

Also it's possible that he's like Jane, trying to catch Red John. It would explain the list and that killing Lennon would eliminate the possibility of Jane getting info of RJ.

Now the third option. If Kirkland is RJ accomplice, he's not just any accomplice. He's RJ's right hand. Maybe a new one or the original. Orville Tanner. What if he didn't die? What if he went missing and had a face surgery? 


Sure some people would get disappointed if Kirkland is RJ. He's the best (imo) and the safest possibility. 

Thanks for reading! Tell me if I missed something important!
