HERE is how Red John known of the list: EITHER: 1) Bob Kirkland works for Red John or Red John is keeping tabs on him too OR2) All 7 of them work for Red John and it supports the whole "Red John is a clan of people" theory.Either way Bob Kirkland is GREATLY involved in this and is a key into finding Red John.
Definitely Red John or his main accomplice as he had access to Jane's room and stole information. So he knows what Jane knows and that is why he puts those names on the CD.
It feels good that at least some names are out as to who could be Red John.
I was just thinking about something after watching season 5's finale. The only way, (realistically), for someone to know Jane's list of suspects is for them to know how he knows. And what did Bob Kirkland recently do? He had his team photograph all of Jane's research. So Kirkland knows what Jane knows. This seems like a really obvious thing if you think about. Although, to me, a little to obvious, so maybe this is just something to throw us off.
I believe that Red John is Robert Kirkland. Why? Well first of all he matches Rosalind Harkers description, he also is very well connected in Homeland Security and can go places without raising suspicion. He also killed Jason Lennon and asked him several times if Jason recognized him. This leads me to suspect that Kirkland is not his real name and that it is just one of his fake identities. He probably used another follower to act like Red John with Jason and just wanted confirmation that Jason did not know the "real" Red John. He also is not listed on the season finale cast list, which leads me to suspect that he will appear but that it is supposed to be a secret just like with the fake Red John in the season 3 finale.
I just don't like him
I find it peculiar that the neckties he wears are consistently, almost always, the color red. Which could theatrically (albeit subtly) highlight him as at least a person of interest as this character. I say almost always because I could be wrong, but I don't think I am.A quick google images search for Bob will show you that he hardly, if ever, wears a different color tie. (I found ONE questionable image of where he looks like he's wearing black...so what, that's one)
Who wears that many red ties, that consistently? Perhaps an individual who also took on the same color as ones own psuedonym?
Robert Kirkland only wears red ties.
