I think all those saying that Kirkland killed Lennon because he is out for revenge should watch 5.18 again. The way kirkland killed lennon struck me as a mercy killing . Look at the way he held his hand and his tone. Anyone out for revenge would not be this sympathetic. Also if he was out for revenge why wait this long? He had access to FBI databases, murder files and very good connections. Also why didnt he ask Lennon about RJ? I believe Kirkland is Red John's man based on his dialogue with Lennon.

My Red John suspects are:

Ellis Mars (His appearance could be a pretence)
Marshburn (But I highly doubt this because he is simply not disturbing enough)
A showman from Jane's past in (this is my biggest bet. This person might have been jealous of Jane's intelligence. This may also explain Red John's rough hands and his ability to overpower men mentally (O'loughlin) and physically (the man he killed in mexico) )
Harken (Not disturbing enough but fits the profile)

Alright, here are my thoughts

- At the final scene of 'Code Red', the elevator door closes on Jisbon, then in the last minisecond, someone crosses the camera. Just happenstance? idk lol 

- After seeing "Red Letter Day", we can all agree that Kirkland is on same mission as PJ, sort of. He wants to get to RJ preferably before PJ, hence the need to steal Jane's work. But from what I read it seems we won't see him again for the rest of the season. weird. 

- This is a grossly overlooked point. In Red Barn, Lisbon wonders how Ray Heffner knew that Jason Cooper was gonna send some Visualize files to CBI, claiming that only she and Jane knew about that arrangement. Well, wrong. She forgot she phone Van Pelt about that arrangement. If GVP became a Visualize member sometime in the past, it might explain how she is keeping Ray in the know, something of a courtesy to a fellow 'church' member.

This is not a theory on who Red John is but I started watching from episode 1 again and on the T.V. before Jane gets the note from Dr. Wagner is the same exact show that was playing on the T.V. When Jane and Lorelie were watching T.V. I'm not sure if this means anything but I thought it was pretty interesting. Please Post your thoughts in the comment I like reading other people's opinions. :)

I believe that Red John is Oscar Ardiles because Oscar is in law enforcement, and has influence. Kirkland is, obviously, his accomplice, as is Bertram, and possibly Brenda. Oscar is "an old comrade" of Jane's, and they have shaken hands. He has short, straight hair, like Red John's blind lover stated.

I actually think she is not Red John cuz obvi he is a guy. hE IS. But you known how Jane accuses than someone is working in the FBI for RJ? But I also think that Van Pelt is working with RJ and the guy from FBI if there is one. Someone else said this and I agree as well: that she joined shortly after Jane joined CBI and also most associates of RJ wear red (she has red hair and Lorelei had that red jumpsuit )

( not accusing bret stiles. Computer wouldn't let me chose anyone). Ok so I think that it is possible that we have seen red john on the show but if so he is someone none of us have thought of. I mean all of our suspects are to obvious and are just there to through us off.
As for Kirkland, he is definately not red John and is probably out for his own sort of revenge. Also all the info he got on that last episode is bogus. Jane smiled for a reason. Bret stiles is way to obvious. Mashburn too. But honestly I don't think we have seen red John yet. I think it will be someone from janes past that he hasn't seen in decades, possibly a relative.
