I think Red john is actually a persona created by Bertram, Mcallister, and Smith. It is possible that more of the suspects on the list are also involved, and may have been somehow roped in by the others. I think they have created some kind of organized group of serial killers. Stiles may also be a member, offering his wealth to finance the operation.
I think it's Bob Kirkland because he killed Jason Lennon
I have known Bob Kirkland to be Red John for a long time. Fine, I
shouldn't say I "know" because it's just my theory, but I do know! Why?
Because Kirkland has been around for a long time. He is in homeland
security and has a lot of power. The main reason I suspect him, however,
is because once he passed by Jane in the CBI office, and Jane turned
and look at him and said, have we met? And Kirkland said no. And that
was it. Now, that scene has no point to it whatsoever to that episode or
later. That's when I first realized that Kirkland had to be Red John. This is long before Jane came up with his list.
Furthermore,
the other five suspects are not right. Bertram the CBI isn't that
smart; he was once suspected as a link to Red John during the time when
Jane shot the fake Red John, and Bertram didn't have a clue. Jane pulled
the wool over Ray Haffner without sweating at all. Reede Smith is just a
stupid FBI guy. McAllister is just a policeman with no significance; we
hardly ever see him, and you can be sure that we do see Red John off
and on in the episode.
Bret Stiles is the mostly likely next
suspect because he has lots of power too, but he can't be it because he
already has a big following. Like Jane says once, Bret couldn't hurt a
fly. (When he does, he doesn't do it himself, certainly.) He is just not the hands-on killer that Red John is.
Therefore, it makes total sense that Bob Kirkland is it. He is also handsome, meaning that he can easy sucker women into doing his bidding.
Therefore, I know it's Kirkland.
i think i saw the hook knife from the end of season 6 in a previous episode
its the one with patrick stuck in the chair and red john has the mask on and says the poem
it looks like the same blade
Sophie Miller said the he is "is an excellent whistler"...they showed us the sheriff McCallister whistling in that right moment, but in the same episode we've seen Ray Haffner whistling too...I have three possibilities thought...Haffner,McCallister,Bob Kirkland...I'll watch all 29 (plus that ones of this season)Red John's episodes till 17th of november when there'll be the episode "Red John"
When PJ found out some people had broken into his room he smiled.meaning he had a plan.he wanted them to find those info so they RJ could analyze it so get to the 7 names.PJ also knows that none of them is RJ because if he knew all he needed to do was to take Rosalind in and she would indentify RJ.after RJ left those 3 in that meeting we could tell that they all knew who RJ was.these 7 are all accomplices/assistants. the assist RJ and cover up where ever he messes up.I don't know exactly who RJ is but I'm sure he's someone we all know.he's right in front of us but we can't see him because we are missing the BIG picture here.
I'm thinking that, as abstract as it sounds, the birds or pidgeons are a clue. Infact, I think they are the big "clue" at the end of episode 1, which Heller said wouldn't make sense in context. I say this after episode 2 because we got another shot of pidgeons/birds for no real reason that I could find...Lisbon and Jane are sitting on the bench, and Jane looks at the birds the lady is feeding. It's just strange...
