LATEST THEORIES

Let's examine the death of Bob Kirkland.  The reason that he asked Lennon if he recognized him before he killed him is that he wanted to know if his identical twin brother is still alive, and if Lennon had said yes, he would have asked him where he saw him, etc.  He also asked other suspects on the fake list if they recognized him, because if any of them were actually RJ, they would have known his appearance as Mark Kirkland.  However, since members of the Tyger-Tyger gang can lie so easily to nonmembers (Reede Smith to Bob Kirkland), that may not be an easy way to find RJ.  When Smith let Kirkland out of the back of the Police van, Kirkland knew his number was up, because he knew too much about the Tyger group, that is why he asked Smith 'Why not do it here' and Smith replied 'Protocol'.  The Tyger-Tyger group is obviously very wide spread, including police drivers in its' group.  It is going to be difficult for PJ, who doesn't know yet about the group.  Since the actor who plays Kirkland doesn't appear in episodes 6-7 thru 6-9 I think we can safely assume that Mark Kirkland is not still around.

What i think is really interesting is Bob (Robert) Kirkland's twin brother. Have to think Visiualize picked him up when he was a at rock bottom. If he is as saddistic as his brother i think it fits perfectly and i think Bob would agree. Take a look at this clip i found on a video on youtube of Bob and some guy in the hospital

Comme Bruno Heller l'a dit, Red John a commis une erreur fatale dans la dernière scène de l'épisode 1 de la saison 6.

J'ai revu plusieurs fois cette scène  sans rien trouver de bizarre. Il avait ses gants, ne laissait pas de traces... Je me suis dit "Il a peut être fait une erreur en utilisant le téléphone de Lisbon, mais qu'aurait il pu faire ?

Je me remémorait ce qu'il disait à Patrick Jane dans cette scène "Désolé Patrick, mais TERESA ne peut venir au téléphone maintenant. Puis je prendre un message ? Non ? Bon, je lui dirai que vous avez appelé !"

Et puis, j'ai vu la scène de rêve de Lisbon de l'épisode 2, et tout s'est éclairé ! J'ai compris, je pense, ce qui était caché en pleine lumière ! Dans la série, faites bien attention à la manière dont on nomme les personnes.

Je m'explique, Patrick Jane, Wayne Rigsby et Grace Van Pelt appellent Térésa Lisbon... "Lisbon". Tout comme Reed Smith ou Gale Bertram... Tout comme 99 % des gens. Sauf une seule personne dans la liste des suspects... Ray Haffner (et pour cause romantique, bien sûr)

Il est le seul à l'appeler par son prénom. Mais c'est aussi un excellent suspect : Il fait parti de vizualise, comme Red John, fait parti des forces de l'ordre (donc doit être au courant pour la conspiration des "tyger, tyger") entre autre.

Une si petite erreur, induite par un excès de confiance...

There were no pigeons, or any birds for that matter, in Red Listed. However..I did notice something pointing to Episode 7: The Great Red Dragon. When Jane met Hightower in that restaurant..did anybody else notice the dragon design in the foreground? It was a cool foreshadowing I thought:)

What do you guys think about the dragon symbolism and how it will fit with Red John?

Not so much a theory, but a question:

At the beginning of red listed, 6X04, Benjamin Marx is found dead under a bridge.  In this earlier episode, is it the same place?

Probably not significant, but I had to ask.

Theory #6532 • By stelios
Show this theory

There are only two possible people it could possibly be.
One is Bob Kirkland and the other is Brett Stiles.
These are the only two suspects that are under 6'.  All the remaining suspects are over that height and the blind girl said that Red John was under 6'.
We know that it is not Sheriff McAlllister from the last episode because he is not afraid of heights and Red John is.  Once we determine which one of these is or is not afraid of heights then we will know who Red John is. I have a tendency to believe it is Bob Kirkland because Jane said that RJ was a member of Stiles group (Red Barn) as a teenager which would make him about Kirkland's age. Stiles is in his 70's and too old.
