My guess? CBI Ron. Why?

In the last episode (season 5 ep 7) in the end the Bob guy says to Patrick Jane something like, you dont know me but i know you!, then when they go away, right before the episode ends, who is on focus? yeah... CBI Ron.

CBI Ron is always appearing. Always near Patrick..

And please check episode season 1 episode 16.. When Grace Van Pelt's new boyfriend is chasing van pelt and patrick jane in the parking lot with a gun, theres someone that runs away in his car. Who is it? CBI Ron!

A CBI Agent that watches some criminal with a gun trying to kill two CBI workers, and simply goes away without doing anything? That's really suspiscious for me.. I mean, he could not be Red John, but in some way he must be an accomplice or something like that. He is not a good person.. And we never heard his voice I guess..

Because why would the director of the series put a secundary actor like CBI Ron so many times during the 5 seasons? 

Rate my theory guys :D

the fifth season en-thrills to know who red john is ! Many theories about pj being may turned about to be wrong in the end! atleast i expect.i havent really seen PJ as RJ through out the 5 seasons! The new guy shown in 5th and 7th episodes of 5th season just looks like distraction to all our thoughts about red john! may be this guy has info about rj, lets think this guy is red john that leads us to the idea that the fbi lady agent should be familiar with the actions of this guy.she says "it's done". this gives us more thoughts. and y all of a sudden this guy asking a coffee with lisbon?? if this guy or volker is supposedly RED JOHN makes me feel that jane is close enough to find red john, sudden involvement of this new characters gives me an idea that john is really driven by jane's efforts so this people are being used by red john to know info from jane! hoping for another twist on his side. so i think any of this two new faces is ain't red john! he is someone linked to this people and part of the fbi !

Correct me if I'm wrong but Jane was on TV taunting Red John when his family was killed. Wouldn't that just ruin all of these Jane theories? One of the only guys as smart as Jane that plays with him on here is J.J. LaRoche. A better theory than Jane.

Robert Kirkland(Bob?? Not too sure what his full name is)..

2 instances made me think that this ''agent of Homeland Security'' was really the murderer. 

1.  Season 5 Episode 5 (Red Dawn)

At the end of the show, the director of FBI Alexa Shultz started chatting up to the first CBI director that we know of (Virgil).  She revealed to him that for the past year Patrick was in an asylum.  What purpose revealing this piece of information served for her or Red John, I dont really have much of a clue yet (perhaps to limit Patrick's points of access to information the CBI had on Red John by worrying the director? Or to motivate Virgil to keep tabs on Patrick as to how far he is with the investiation), but after hanging up she immediately she said "It's done" and faintly smiled at some man(Bob Kirkland) seated opposite to her.

He simply said 'thank you' in a soft, noticeably chilled voice. You could easily imagine his voice and Red John's voice being pretty similar.  Furthermore, I believe that conversation between Alexa Shultz and this Bob Kirkland, was pretty suggestive of him being some senior officer in relation to Alexa Shultz. I may be somehow wrong about this but what is this guy doing with a HomeLand security badge later as we see in episode 7?

2. Season 5 Episode 7 (If it Bleeds, It Leads)

PJ: " Do I know you?" 
Bob: "No.. But I know you"

His encounter with Patrick seemed pretty intentional frankly speaking. And all that sortof eerie background music... A bit suggestive. Also, while speaking with Lisbon, he seemed a little uncomfortable with his posture and he was stuttering a little in the beginning...


I'm not saying it absolutely has to be him Robert Kirkland, but if I were to guess based on all the things that red John has done, Bob Kirkland really seems to act like him.  And I wouldn't really bet on Volker (the threatening rich guy) being Red John.  Red John isn't as obnoxious as him, frankly speaking.  And he wouldn't really go around to people like Lisbon and start conversations that basically led to Lisbon doing her best to hunt him down... Red John's seems much more careful than that.  Furthermore, the manner in which he killed his assistant was ruthless but not really Red John's MO/style...

All in all though there seem to be a few problems with Robert Kirkland aka. Bob to be Red John.

1. Why is he so suddenly asking Lisbon out for coffee? (just seems weird) (S05E07)
2. Why is he suddenly insistent on protecting Volker? (maybe Volker is a part of Red John's way of protecting himself)

Robert Kirkland...he did it...i promise 

I'm accusing a men from the last episode (S05 E07), Bob Kirkland from Homeland security. Maybe he's not Red John, but he must have some very strong relantioship with him. He came to agent Lisbon to tell her to get off from some powerful men called Volker who is also showed up in the same episode. Also, in his way out, he said hello to Jane but Jane didn't recognize him. Perhaps, Volker may have relantioship with Red John or he can be Red John. Director told there's gonna be progress with the Red John's case in the fifth season, and there it is. Now, we must wait 1 week to see how this case is going to develope. Can't wait!
