LATEST THEORIES

I think Kirkland suspects Jane of being Red John and that's why he is investigating him , he as an idea that maybe Jane himself is Red John and knows that Jane himself has no idea .

The only way this show can go out with a bang is Jane having a mental disorder that allowed him to have a split personality .

Like it or not anything else would really disappoint me in a big way .

I don't think anyone else as the brain power to outsmart Jane apart from Jane himself .

Roberk Kirkland is not after RJ.

As I had mentioned in my theory: http://www.whoisredjohn.com/See-a-theory-Red-John/1849

It is very clear that Kirkland is RJ or at RJ's side. I do not want to go over the details, you can read the theory.

I want to explain what Kirkland is doing now.

Remember RJ was always a step ahead of Jane? He did it by getting info from his friends. But this time, friends can't help, because Jane has been silent for a long time. He is not blaming anyone and he doesn't seem like he is planning something. He keeps every idea to himself and tells nobody. So, how can RJ be a step ahead of Jane now?

The only way to do this is to get into his room, take photos of everything he is working on so that RJ can think like Jane and guess what Jane is after. RJ will be able to say "Jane can reach this conclusion with these data, he can't know this with these data..." etc and foresee his plan. This is what Kirkland is doing right now, he is trying to figure out what Jane knows and whether he is very close to RJ. If he is very close, then something must be done before RJ is caught.

The whole process of Kirkland is not study Jane's board and find RJ, it is to be in Jane's shoes to understand how much close Jane is.

Some days ago I wrote this: si se la piratie a Marina, pero es q kirkland no es RJ, ¿x que? x q seria muy facil; por esa razón pienso que Marina es muy ingeniosa y tiene razon¡¡¡ 
me caso con esta toeria

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 !!!!!

This is not a theory as to who red john is but an observation.  I find it strange that red john only shot that one guy in the leg in the last episode of season 2 and let him live but killed the other two people.  How does someone with morals like that bring him self to kill Patrick Jane's wife and little girl?  There must be a very deep rooted reason for all the killing he has done.

Theory #2193 • By mister-east
Show this theory

bret stiles is the father of lorelay martin, on the last episode where lorelay finds the trouth about who killed her sister theresa whent to the house of lorelay and in a flash you can see that bret stiles with lorelay are in the frame, theresa asked if that whas the father and her mother says yes. lorelay knows her (posebly steph) father very wel. there is a episode where patrick jane says that bret whouldn't hurt a fly. bret gave the lokation of that red head psykick jane fell in love with in season 1, where she thinks she has lost her soul beceaus bret played with her mind into that fase of losing her soul. al the victoms that know red john execute them selfs in extreme situations whitch sugests that there mentaly ill, like the people in the institution of bret stiles.

I'm not accusing bret,I didn't get all the options on my phone...so here's what I think...I think Rj is ellis mars But he had some major surgery that transformed him into kirkland..if you go back to watch the show you'd find out that ellis and kirkland have a little resemblance and they have the same mannerism...so that's what I think

I think all those saying that Kirkland killed Lennon because he is out for revenge should watch 5.18 again. The way kirkland killed lennon struck me as a mercy killing . Look at the way he held his hand and his tone. Anyone out for revenge would not be this sympathetic. Also if he was out for revenge why wait this long? He had access to FBI databases, murder files and very good connections. Also why didnt he ask Lennon about RJ? I believe Kirkland is Red John's man based on his dialogue with Lennon.

My Red John suspects are:

Ellis Mars (His appearance could be a pretence)
Marshburn (But I highly doubt this because he is simply not disturbing enough)
A showman from Jane's past in (this is my biggest bet. This person might have been jealous of Jane's intelligence. This may also explain Red John's rough hands and his ability to overpower men mentally (O'loughlin) and physically (the man he killed in mexico) )
Harken (Not disturbing enough but fits the profile)
