Who is Red John?

Theories of quazigogogo (18)

i have avoided this one for a long time, but i really do think it warrants a deep thought.  i've seen a lot of tv/movies, and EVERY time that we as an audience are specifically told that someone is ASSUMED to be dead, but not PROVEN to be dead, that person ALWAYS turns out to be alive.


So if we are directly told to ASSUME that Micheal Kirkland is dead, then we must really ASSUME he is alive.  Is he RJ, possibly, or maybe an accomplice, or if RJ really did die, maybe his replacement.


Does he fit the profile of RJ???? 
Well his mama committed suicide and daddy was an abusive alcholic.  So mommy/daddy issues are there.  It is in his blood to torture as we witnessed his twin removing digits from suspects that wouldn't talk.  Could easily be a demented serial killer psychopath based on profiling.  Physical description and age seem to match the suggested details of the blind lady and shrink.


Are there significant clues pointing to him being RJ????
His brother was torturing people who he thought could lead him to RJ but he killed the one person that could lead him to RJ without even so much as removing a pinkie?  It would make a lot more sense for him to kill Lennon if he was Michael.  Bob would have questioned Lennon.
He, or Bob, was there from the beginning (meeting with Minelli in Red Dawn), even if via flashback episode.
The actor, Kevin Corrigan, was creepy as hell in the role of Bob so it would be great to see him back.
Michael could easily have used his borther's identity to get access to law enforcement stuff.


I am not completely sold, but this would go a ton further in making sense than Mcallister and the whole BA mess.  Even if they held firm with McAllister, this could bring back the angle and give him a legit sidekick to chase.  I just have to think this would be better than a season of poop and pacifier cases.

Dear diary,

Today was a really great day. After spending 10 hours fulfilling my duties as local sheriff, I went out and used my ultra good looks and slick game to pick up yet another hottie to bang. Needless to say, she will now worship me forever and basically be my slave until called upon to die for me.

...

Today was another great day. Same old boring work, but After I went hunting and slayed 7 deer and 2 buffalo. Then I went back to the club and picked up another hottie to bang. This time I decided to stab her up and paint a giant face from her blood instead of adding her to my harem of sweet honeys.

...

Today not so good. Walked outside, saw a pigeon, shat my pants, and decided to call in sick.

...

Woke up, hunted, worked, banged hotties, killed carnies wifey and baby for fun, hunted some more.

...

Freaking pigeons!!!

...

Went to work today after about a weak of running from pigeons. Was ready to go back yesterday but caught a rerun of animaniacs and they showed the goodfeathers so I was paralyzed from the fear. Anyways, I had to take the day off from making the ladies worship me yo track down my boy Jared before he spilled the beans. Luckily he had a ho with him so I was able to get a quick piece before hacking them up. Get this, I decided to write a random line on the wall that will mislead everyone for years. HE IS MAR....not sure what it means, but that carnie will be doing back flips in his sleep.

...

Decided to spend the day sharpening my hacking skills so I can mess with that dirty red head that gave me the shake a couple years ago. Dirty hobag. Tomorrow I will get back to hunting, arresting speeders, banging skanks, killing other skanks, and making sure my harem is still brainwashed into thinking I'm awesome. Of course this depends on no pigeons being out!!

...

Got up early today, called in sick after seeing a turtle dove in the driveway. Not sure what I'll do today since hunting, banging, hypnotizing, killing, arresting are all off the table. I got an idea, maybe I can google bad cops. Yeah that's it, I'll find cops that have f'd up and somehow without explanation get them off then hold them hostage as my servants forever. I'll have FBI, cbi, local cops, homeland, and maybe even just one regular dude named Timothy in case I ever need a fall guy. This will be my new Sunday hobby since the rest of the week I have to be sheriff, bang chicks, kill other chicks, hack the web, and screw with the carnie.

...

Convinced another honey that I look younger than I am younger than I look and have short straight hair today. Yep, she'll die for me someday. I can't quite figure out why they can't get my description right.

....

Ran into the carnie again. Had a little fun with him. Of course all the fun went away when that damn bird buzzed me.

...


That was a close one. What was I thinking getting the same tattoo that I forced all of my minions to get. Good thing I had that flash bomb, real bomb, and spare body handy to get out of it. Decided to save the carnie again though. Might have to kill him soon. Will have to let him know how psychic I am though.

...

I'm not really sure what just happened. I think I'm dead. Not sure cuz I should have died a while ago but mustered up the ability to run a half marathon after being gut shot. Where'd it go wrong? Oh yeah, the damned pigeon!! Wait a minute.....none of this makes sense, I've been following this case for a while now, and something is off. I never went to no visualize farm. I don't have the game to pick up all them hotties. I didn't want that tattoo. I'm not psychic. I was never afraid of pigeons. I don't have the resources to blackmail hundreds of law officials. Is this a bad, poorly executed dream? Have I been played??

i would have to think that the biggest diversion of all was rosalind harker's description of RJ.  before 6x8 when this site was going nuts, everyone was eliminating suspects based on physical description, mainly by rosalind and sophie.  well since RH was RJ's girlfriend, and we were shown that he visited her after Jane did, and possibly hipnotized her,  we should completely ignore her description.  not only ignore it, we should maybe even look for the opposite in some ways.  hell, PJ didn't believe her, why should we.  if PJ considered reede smith and bret stiles, there is no reason we shouldn't.  Yes, sophie said he was "middle aged", but that is a pretty vague term. 

and i think we can all agree, if stiles was involved somehow, then he wasn't alone or had help.  maybe a son, or a protege he was guiding in his footsteps.  and stiles never denied having links to RJ.  links that were never explained.

i believe that there are 3 people who know the absolute truth.  They are RJ, PJ, and........Crystal.  Halfway thru "White Lines", jane and the hottie are on their date.  She asks about his ring.  he says it is a long story and they better order drinks.  several minutes later, after an absolutely useless scene between fishcer and lisbon that was only their to show that there was a significant lapse in time, jane finishes telling her his story.  she then understands why he still wears his ring.

Now, if he told her that after several years of searching, he finally got his revenge and with it some long overdue closure, then her reaction would have been something like, "wow, so i guess now that it is all over you should consider taking it off and getting back out there".

instead, her reaction was to be understanding that he still wears it.  that would make sense if he had just told her that he just took down the BA, and another RJ accomplice, but he will continue to wear the ring until the day he knows for sure that RJ is dead.

i know for sure that the first thing i am looking at in S7ep1 is janes left hand.

let me get this straight.  Mcallister being RJ was at Jane's house.  He planted a bomb that killed visualize.  He felt the need to move the bodies of bertram, smith, and Jane to safety just before the bomb went off.  then, a couple of days later, he changes his mind and thinks all 3 need to die?????  what kind of sense does that make???  How about NONE!!!

I know the first thing I'll be looking for in S7x1 is pj's ring finger.if he's still wearing it, then he's not convinced that his revenge is fulfilled.

Stiles said to his cult that he was leaving for a while and he would return. How's a 3 year vacation sound......

so if we are going to pretend that RJ was not a pathetic small town sheriff who was afraid of birds, who was an avid hunter but carried the worlds weakest gun the meet his nemesis, who couldn't manhandle GVP, who had wicked awesome PC hacking skills, then we need to explain why he hasn't killed in nearly 3 years.  serial killers don't just hang up their blades and call it a day.  they are addicted to killing, much like the way that formercop is addicted to being a raging douchebag.

maybe RJ has put a hold on killing to concentrate on his hew wife and baby......
