LATEST THEORIES

This isn't a theory on who Red John is but to why Jane was smiling at the end of last episode. (Season 5 Episode 19) well I think that Jane was smiling because he knew that Kirkland had people come in his room and he knew he tricked them by switching information that he has collected with bogus info. He knew he tricked Kirkland. I don't necessarily know if Kirkland is a good guy or a bad guy but I think hes a bad good guy if that makes any sense. Thanks for Reading please post you thoughts in the comments. :)

I'm not accusing LaRoche.

There's a question that has been gnawing almost as much as "Who is Red John?" 

WTF is in the Tupperware container in LaRoche's safe?????

Seriously, I am dying to know! 

Rate this Plausible if you've wondered, too!

Theory #2170 • By WayneRigsby
Show this theory

I am RJ. If you look the episodes you can see me always supporting PJ in his crazy plans without asking anything, that is beacause im judging, the way PJ thinks and how he finds the assassin amuse me. Why did i kill that girls? I had a crappy childhood. Why RedJohn? I like Red, is the colour of the fire, it relax me.

I say this because everyone she ends up dating is some psycho path. Maybe this is a way they can pass notes about Jane. 
Also she is always staying back at the desk, which could give her enough time to get more rj stuff done.
Also she applied for a job shortly after Patrick Jane became a member of the cbi. This could have been a master idea from RJ.
Lastly her hair is red

Some days ago I wrote this:

I think Robert Kirkland was Miranda Martins' s boyfriend (Lorelei 's sister), that 's
why he asked Lennon if he recognized him. After knowing Lennon was involved in
Miranda 's murder, he killed Lennon for revenge, and didn’t asked who Red John
was because it was useless.


And that's why Kirkland is behind Patrick's footsteps, he has
not the intelligence of Patrick, Kirkland will wait for Patrick to catch Red
John because HE wants s to kill him first.



I have been thinking why RK did not
kill Lennon while he was in coma, the answer that comes to me is because he
wants to kwon if Lennon (and Red John) know who he is and what he is doing. If  Red John discovers RK is after him, sure is a
dead man… the only one Red John allows trying to catch him is Patrick Jane.


Kirkland is following Patrick since
he is a member of the CBI (the telephone call in the limo five years ago), but
he appeared when he was "kidnapping" by Lorelei. I don t think
this is coincidence. When he first met Jane he
said “but i know you...”. 
Someone wrote to me it would be interesting if another of RJ's victims family
members turned up. I really like this cause it would be like another
Jane but “in the shadow”. Plus I'm tired everyone being friends of  Red John !!!!!




Lo
voy a escribir en español también porque, por lo que estuve viendo, hay mucha gente
de Latinoamérica que lee esta página y cuando querés traducirla es cualquiera !!!




Creo
que Robert
Kirkland era el novio de Miranda Martins (la hermana de Lorelei), es por eso
que le pregunta a Lennon si lo reconoce. Después de que se entera que estuvo
involucrado en el asesinato de Miranda, mata a Lennon por venganza, y no le
pregunta quién es Red John porque no tiene sentido hacerlo.


Y es
por eso que Kirkland está detrás de los pasos de Jane, no tiene la inteligencia
de Patrick, Kirkland va a esperar a que Patrick atrape a Red John porque él lo
quiere matar primero.




Estuve
pensando porqué RK no mató a Lennon cuando estaba en coma, lo que se me ocurre
es que quería saber si Lennon (y Red John) saber quién es él y qué está
haciendo. Si Red John descubre que RK está tras de él, es hombre muerto, la
única persona que Red John permite que lo persiga es Patrick Jane.


Kirkland
está siguiendo a Patrick desde que él es miembro de CBI (la llamada telefónica
desde la limusina 5 años atrás), pero aparece cuando Jane es “secuestrado” por
Lorelei. No creo que esto sea una coincidencia. Cuando se cruzó por primera vez
con Jane le dijo “pero yo te conozco a vos”. Alguien me escribió que sería interesante
que otro familiar de una víctima de Red John apareciera. Me encanta la idea
porque sería como otro Patrick pero “en la sombra”. Además estoy cansada de que
todos sean amigos de Red John !!!!!

After watching all the episodes and reading the theories, this is what I have come up with.

Walter Mashburn- seems like a good candidate. Rich, powerful and charismatic. However, when Lorelei said "I only wonder why the two of you didn't become life-long friends the moment you shook hands.", I think we can safely eliminate him. As we saw in the previous episodes, they got along very well and we can even say that they became friends. Therefore, Walter Mashburn isn't Red John.

Brett Stiles- seemed like a good candidate until Rosalind Harker's description. On the other hand, I strongly believe that he does have some information on Red John as he does give PJ some information about him etc. He will be a key figure in the hunt for Red John.

Brett Partridge- favourite RJ prediction on this site. I have to admit, he does seem like a good candidate. However, he doesn't look to be the right age to be RJ. Also, Brett gives me the impression of being a bit weird but not RJ weird.

CBI Ron- Does seem like a 'Waldo' character just like Heller said but hasn't spoken a line since the start of the show if I recall correctly. Also when Rosalind describes RJ, she doesn't mention facial hair and says he is quite slim.

Bob Kirkland- Contrary to the popular opinion, I think he is a positive character. As we see from the last episode, he wants to find about RJ. My personal guess would be that he is very similar character to PJ. For example Lorelei/Miranda was somehow related to him and he wants to avenge her death (can be someone else). You can look at him like a Snape character (from Harry Potter), first the viewers see him as a negative character but as the story progresses we find out that he is actually very positive. Same as Snap I think Kirkland is gonna be killed by RJ (or someone else).

Dean Harken- 'flavour of the week', he seems as a freaky person. Moreover, has red hair and talks about his powerful friends- 
"I'll call my friends at the FBI, get them to take over from you. In fact, I will do that.". Seems like a decent candidate for RJ.

Gale Bertram/Virgil Minelli- both seem like nice guys (especially Virgil) and don't fit into Rosalind's description. Bertram is working with Kirkland so in my mind that would eliminate him. However, he did recite 'Tyger Tyger' to Lisbon meaning that he knows RJ (without knowing it) and heard it from him.

Ray Haffner- doesn't seems clever enough but does fit into the "when you shook hands" thing. Still don't think its him.

Not a guess as to who Red John is, but as I have mentioned before, we again get a close-up of Jane's bulletin board with a bunch of numbers. Does anyone have any theories or guesses as to what the numbers mean.?
