LATEST THEORIES

It's possible that dr. Linus Wagner is RJ, and who
has got caught on purpose (a hoax, then) as part of his plan to exact
revenge on Jane and make it like him, then acts through Partidge (which
in fact admires the work of Wagner in the pilot) and Carter and his
disciples, but sometimes released from prison (he has an alibi, maybe
he's replaced by a camouflaged disciple, for example with a fake beard?; in CSI Miami there's a similar plot in an episode)
and, thanks to powerful friends, corrupt guards and Stiles's help
(Homeland Security investigate on these facts and these dangerous
friendships), maybe in prison has a better deal and does what he wants.
Then escapes to the last battle, something similar to The Following.
He can manipule people from his cell, too (he write many letters and has permission to write articles on web).
He shake hands in pilot with Patrick, and could have meet Jane, previous, in the mental asylum or maybe in circus.
He could be also the therapist of Miranda.

He can create the RJ's cult as transform Jane in his disciple, as a "surprise", a "gift" for him, in his sick mind.
He know well Tijuana, he worked in Africa, like said Timothy Carter, and kills for a "higher path" )(save the african children, with the clinic's money).

Dr. Wagner said:
I can tell you're in real pain. Why not tell the truth?
And, like RJ (as said Jane in 5x05), he thinks that is better tormented a man all the life, than kill him directly.

Its Dr. Wagner in the first episode!!! Even if he was arrested by Jane, it is possible that it was a kind of "testing" Jane. It would be very logic, if red john appears in the first episode (Title episode : "Red John"!!!!!) to give the whole serie an implicite character of constructive unity. Who else would rape and kill a women to hide a crime behind Red John, if not somebody seriously mad!!
PS: Jane and Red John shook hands: There is one scene in this episode where the camera focuses particularly on the hand shaking of Jane and Dr. Wagner.

Guys please forget this Kirkland thing. Kirkalnd and Jane shook hads after Lorelei arrested.

Do you think Kirland is going in the federal prison and he says:

Kirland: "Imagine that honey, I shook hands with Jane.."
Lorelei: "OMG WFT ??? :P ::P"

Seriously?

I think Kirkland investigating in the RJ case and he thinks Jane or any CBI  team is Red John. The reason that the Homeland Security is interest abot CBI  is very simply. There is  lot of moles in the CBI  (Red John, Volker, Visualize). There is a state department, it's a national security risk.

Bob Kirkland is Red Jonh....
wh0 :
1. He say 'Thank You' to FBI's boss , when she called the former CBI boss, Virgil. (season 5 episode 5)
2. Homeland Security (season 5 episode 7)

Why :
1. Lorelei Martins had spoken accidently to Jane that Red John 'had shake his hand' with Patrick Jane.
And Bob Kirkland (Red John, assumed) had 'Shake his hand' with Jane, and Jane didn't know him (Season 5 episode 7)
2. Bob's sound is very similar with Red John's
3. Bob lead investigation searching lorelei Martins whe she break the federal prison with Jane (season 5 episode8) and after that, Bob is just dissapear.

I'm afraid i'm right that misterious character Sean Barlow finally revealed as Red John. So Jane and RJ met and shook hands in the carny in the past. Don't you think Jane shouldn't remember that he met in the past with currently RJ suspects (Partridge, Bertram, Kirkland, Minelli, etc...).??? Or they shook hands in the present, and Jane doesn't remember he met before any of them???

I think Red John will be a new character...

Other snippet

SCOTT ANTHONY LEET will play the role of Roddy Turner. He is described as follows.



Early-mid 30s, Anglo-Irish with an Irish accent, physically imposing,
from the carnival circuit, this tough young man can erupt into violence
at any given moment. Even though he's a prime murder suspect, he seems
genuinely distraught at the death
.

I wonder if in 5x17 when PJ and Lisbon are in the middle of a questioning some random dude opens the wrong door. Why would Heller just add that in randomly?

Theory #1817 • By Alvaro
Show this theory

Robert Kirkland is the guy I'm talking about.
In some episode of season 5 He SHOOK the hands (before Lorelei Revealed that detail!) with PJ and then Patrick asked, "Do I know you?"
and he said, "You don't know me, but i know you".

P.S.: Both RK and RJ have letters in the name... it's obvious (kidding)
