Bob Kirkland. Homeland Security.
We see him shake hands with Jane in 'If it Bleeds, It Leads' when passing in the hallway. Strange considering Jane doesn't shake hands often. Also, he knows Jane, but Jane doesn't know him.
We see Kirkland previously (in Red Dawn) in the car with CBI agent Alexa Shultz. His only words are 'thank you' yet it is said with such robotic distorted tones, his voice sounds strangely familiar. Could she be Alexa's boss that she in fact is referring to? Is she the FBI informant and Minelli is the CBI informant?
Jane notices something too in 'If it Bleeds, It Leads' after his car wreck and Agent Kirkland is on the radio. He asks 'who is that guy.' Lisbon doesn't respond, but Jane has noticed something, possibly his voice?
Please note the way he pauses when he speaks, his emphasis on certain consonants, specifically his 'S's.
I am wondering about him, Lisbon seems to take to him quickly. He is sly, suave, very clean, and seems to be an interesting character. Lets see what continues to be revealed.
I think theory #428 is right on.
