I think Bob Kirkland is not Red John. And Volker is not too.
The Scenarist trying to shock us. We dont know Red John's face.
I mean Red John is not a person of we know. For example: Jane or Kristina or Van Pelt or Bob Kirkland or people like these.
Red John is not a regular guy or killer. Jane is not a regula guy too.
They are different. They have some good skills. They are smart.
And They have a good sense of humor.
I know this is crazy maybe...
But my first guess: Red John is Jane's brother or half-brother.
I have strong reasons.. But will not explain now.
And my second guess:( this is weak guess) Red John is Jane'S father.
Remember the episode of his father. Jane cant accept his father doing.
And Jane going away. Maybe his wife bring him away.
So Jane'S father was very angry. And he took the revenge.
Jane's father wants back him(jane). Like old days.
Remember the 4. season final...
Red John is looking for a comrade. Remember the his words:
What if you really did have
a change of heart?
What if you and I were friends?
Imagine the life we could lead.
I dont know maybe these are compo conspiracy theories :)
Could be everythings... But I love The Mentalist.
The best movie ı've ever seen.
Have a nice life...
