LATEST THEORIES

Obviously Robert Bob Kirkland. 

Whenever a case comes to CBI which is about Red John, Kirkland appears there suddenly and the case goes directly to the Inland Security. 

You can watch on YouTube ( v=L5-H9QGov4Y ) Patrick Jane and Robert Bob Kirkland first meeting video that their first shaking hands as Lorelei mentioned about it. 

My theory is Bob Robert Kirkland is obviously Red John.

It is interesting to note that the origin (etymology) of the name "Bertram" means "bright raven."  The raven can imply wisdom when used as part of a name. However, in poetry, the raven generally symbolizes death. For instance, the raven is generally interpreted to symbolize death in William Blake's poem "The Human Abstract." It is also interesting that the name "Gale" can mean "jovial" or someone who lives near a jail.

Clearly, this alone is not enough to suggest Bertram is RJ - but it is interesting to note...

I am sure I am missing some people. And I am sure there are many we don't know yet.

Guys, WHAT THE HELL is this? 17 people I have counted, 7 died with a smile on their face. 6 died without thinking of betreyal. We have to think really big. This cannot be achieved by money or position. They are not threatened either.

We know RJ killed Lorelei's sister, and created weakness in her heart. This way, he owned Lorelei. But you can't kill relatives of all these people and own them, because they would figure it out as they know about each other.

It's not Visualize. Vizualize is a christian community, but RJ says there is no hell or heaven. The higher path is on this world only. These people choose this higher path, so it isn't Stiles or a Visualize member.

What can you offer to these people to win and own them? Even when dying, these people don't ever think of telling his name. Even Lorelei didn't tell it despite what she learned. Why?

I invite you to think of this instead of analyzing characters. We can get to RJ only by looking at the big picture. Instead of thinking who can do what, let's think what can you do to achieve this?

A minor obervation: When it was evidenced that RJ kills relatives to win people, Grace Van Pelt was taking computer courses, and she doesnt know this yet. Remember when she was talking about her sister who committed suicide? She told it to persuade a woman from doing sth I don't remember.
Later Rigsby said: You made it up right?
Van Pelt: Of course.

But! Van Pelt had done the same thing once before, I dont really remember content. But she seemed to be making a serious thing up, but it was actually real. I think her sister's commiting suicide was also real, and when Van Pelt learns this Lorelei's sister thing, I think we will see some interesting things.

 i am sure that Robert krinkland is Red John and i become sure of that in tha last episode ( ep 16 in season 5 )
my Prove :
first robert laughs when patrick is about to see


Lorelei Martins

has been killed by red john you can see it again and assure
he banned patrick to ride the ambulance and caught him
his relation to betram to become sure he is out of any suspicious ?
second the director make him shakes hand with patrick obviously and no reasonable cause for shaking meaning ( not in a meating or introduction ,robert wants to shake hands with him especially ?????? )
  robert has a shot in a car Limousine just like luther being killed and Lorelei Martins was caught
third  his voice is very suspicious and look same in tha last episode in season 2 ???????? make a comparison and you can see the similarities

                           thanks ,

Mashburn has the money and the time to do everything that Red john has been able to do.
I think Currie Graham has the carisma to pull  off the acting.
I hope it isn't Brett the Guru, too obvious.
