She new to the team at beginning of series.  RJ seems to always have insider info.
Had a relationship with RJ mole.  She has shown the ability to kill in without remorse.
Everyone refers to RJ as a male only because of the name John not because he/she is a male.

A lot of people have said that Kirkland will torture PJ and I will cut his fingers but look closely at his shirt... Patrick Jane seems to wear a "one color" shirt under his suit unlike the man on the last scene, who wear a checked shirt.
We can also see Kirkland's shirt on the preview, and I see some check on his shirt (but i'm not sure...) : rather than PJ tortured by Kirkland, It could be Kirkland who will be tortured by Red John in this episode.


NB: Sorry for the mistakes, i'm not and English Native speaker

Finally a conclusive theory about Kirkland-
He is RJ's right hand and has to proof his loyality to him.
Thats the reason he hunted down Lorelai after her escape and
and why he killed Lennon.
Now he has to keep RJ updated on Patricks List and stole it.
RJ knows already the real list because of his surveillance
techniques. Kirkland becoming aware that his list is a fake has to geht
The real One to proof his abilities to protect and support RJ
So he tries to torture PJ....
I think PJ knows RJ since episode 3 and was working on his Elaborate
Trap to get him fixed.
We will see....
By the Way- Am I the only one totally annoyed by the 1578980. th
recitation of that useless poem?!?!?
Nobody is able to remember Shakespeare and by now i cant get this stupid Poem Out of my head....

Just a little comment about the fixation on "the list" of 7.  Jane did not have this list (to our knowledge).  He handed 7 pictures to Lisbon, which matched up against the names Lorelei read on the DVD AFTER Jane had already seen it.  So he just gave her the pictures of Red John's list.  Jane never made that list.  He would never have made that list.  He only met Kirkland and Smith AFTER Lorelei told him he had shaken hands with RJ, so there is no way that Jane would have included those two on a list of his suspects.  Plenty of reasons to exclude all of the others, but those two are irrefutable.  The list of 7 is bogus.  The real list is the little notebook that we saw earlier in the season the Jane always keeps with him.

And Bruno Heller did NOT say that Red John is on the list of 7.  He said "you can trust the list."  He didn't say which list, or what the list was a list of (accomplices, maybe).  So don't fixate on this list folks.

What's going to happen to all your "spot on" theories when you actually realize Partridge is dead and McCallister gets killed?

My thought? RJ is Mashburn and Kristina Frye was his 3rd wife, as he mentioned in season 2 that his third wife was "really into that stuff." That's how Frye left the bedroom, because Mashburn came and got her.....or had one of his FBI, CBI, or police buddies get her.

Watch the episodes of season 2 and 3 that he was in and actually listen to what he says about himself, his thoughts on life, etc.....He is spot on for RJ.

I know you guys like short theories, so here's my long one condensed into meaningful sentences.

Bruno Heller says Redjohn likes Cold. Sophie Miller who conveniently only takes notes vocally says RJ has acrophobia (a fear of heights). Or does she? She could actually have said Jay Roth, aka, Redjohn has Acaraphobia, a fear of crawlers, termites and insects that bite. Why does RJ like cold? Because insects are cold-blooded and hate the cold, ergo, RJ doesn't have to deal with them.

Look at Partridge in the desert, season 6 episode 1. Geez, the buzzing of flies gets more prominent through the scene. And Partridge behaves oddly compared to his energetic, nerdy self. He looks very bothered. It would be easy to think its because of Patrick staring at him, but Partridge is irked by the flies. The location of the shoot was picked because it had a fly infestation. Of course the actors didn't know why (they had a good laugh about it), as Heller wanted authenticity in the shooting.

(Funny non-fact: Partridge likes pigeons because they eat termites and insects)

Crazy theory. Way too crazy if you ask me. For the benefit of those who didn't get to see it, here's the link!
