In episode 8, season 2, after Virgil lost it a bit towards the reporters interviewing after four of his men got killed, did we catch our first glimpse of bob Kirkland? You can see someone getting out of a black vehicle, he really looks like BK. suddenly, Virgil decides to retire. Whether or not bk is actually red John is yet to be seen, but we know he's involved heavily.

Someone has possibly already mentioned this but just came to mind ... In
the first season there is an episode in which Patrick and the team have to get
a Red John accomplice out of prison. That very week Gale Bertram decides to go
on a mysterious vacation not before leaving the team without a license to work.
The Red John accomplice manages to get to Mexico and by the time the team reach
him in a motel, he is dead. If only they had had their licenses
they would have been able to work much faster and probably tracked him down.

Now I don´t think Gale could be Red John, Patrick has demonstrated how
superior he isover this character too many times. But an accomplice maybe??

Hi folks!

First, let's have a look at the list with the "Final 7":

- Bret Stiles: 69 of age. Certainly he is far too old for being RJ himself (Red Barn murders in 1988 - quote: "almost kids"). Stiles was 44 at this time and already the leader of Visualize. But I think, he is RJ's dad or his older brother or anything like that, cause he's the one who has the nessecary resources RJ needs to hire his disciples. Stiles may love his son, though he is a killer, anyhow, he fears him, so he ordered a 24/7 observation for him. That's why Stiles knows "more about RJ than even RJ would ever imagine". So: NO!

- Gale Bertram: Far too tall for being RJ and btw: he has a beer belly. Remember: There have been some scenes, where we saw RJ's shape and even his height (The murder of Rebecca, for example: Compare Rebecca's height with the height of the two guards and on the other hand compare the result with RJ's height. Or remember the scene, when RJ saves PJ's life: Of causehe is disguised, but that guy is 6''0 at most, though he is wearing boots). Somebody noticed, that Bertram is the only one of the "final 7" wearing a ring. That's true, but remember "He IS Mar". If you watch this scene with french or norwegian subtitles it means "He is married". But look at the "IS". It's capitalized. I think, we are not searching for someone who wears a ring but rather for someone who "IS" married and doesn't wear a ring in public. I put my money on the theory, that Bertram is in RJ's debt. So he is working for the bad guy. But he is definitely not RJ. NO!

- Bob Kirkland: One of my favorite suspects. Fits RJ's profile all over. He allways seems a little too late (shook hands with PJ after Lorelei told PJ, his guys broke into PJ's appartement, after the video was relesed). But I'm as safe as houses, that Kirkland changed his whole identity, including plastic surgery (quote: "Do you recognize me" befor he killed Lennon). Patrick and him know each other for a long time and they shook hands a couple of years before. And why did he order those guys to break in PJ's appartement, when he is RJ and allready knows about PJ's list with the final 7 suspects? Cause the video, that patrick has shown to Lisbon is not the same, that he got from Miriam Gottlieb (more of this later). And remember the hint, that Bruno Heller gave us: "The killer likes cold". Just look at the van, when Kirkland's two guys broke into PJ's appartement...;-)

Ther's more to come later, cause it's time for dinner in Germany right now! ;-)

See you soon
