THE THEORIES

Ok, for RJ to be caught, he HAS to make a mistake, however big or small a mistake will have been made because otherwise they would never catch him.

Kirkland was my main suspect, especially after asking over and over if he had seen his face before (to the guy he was going to torture). Why ask that? Who is to say that was in fact Bob and not his brother?

Kirkland was saying that his twin was an alcoholic and he had tried to help him, Jane then said that Bob was the stronger of the brothers by doing something with his life. He obviously has issues, there is no proof at all that his twin is dead.

Kirkland has quiet a creepy voice and could quiet easily sound like RJ.

Why would Kirkland keep asking the (fake) suspect if he had seen his face before? It could also be a distraction from the actual killer.

I don't think it's Haffner, he has far too much anger towards Jane, RJ seems to enjoy the game.

If Brett Partridge wasn't dead I would have said it was probably him, working in forensics he would know how to leave no trace of evidence and even over looking any evidence found. He is about the right age, height, hair. I don't think they will say he isn't really dead though.

Bertram is the most obvious suspect, he also seems to be the most popular suspect (from people I have spoken to). It depends if they are going to go with the most likely so that people will feel good because they got it right, or if they will go with a big twist.

I'm hoping for a twist, and I do think there will be a few more twists to come yet.

(I picked Kirkland because he is the creepiest)

RJ isn't any of the 7 suspect, think about it this is a person who framed Jane of murder simply to see what he would do. he wouldn't be this stupid to allow himself to be caught by something as simple as a tattoo.

I think RJ is someone else who has a connection to everyone in the room, He knew about the existence of Tiger Tiger group for some time and his use of the poem is used to draw Jane in. He want Jane to learn about this group similar with the Fake Red John he want to know how Jane will re-act what he will do.

to this extent he hired the investigator or she worked for him, knowing that they would find the bug and Jane would suspect him. Tiger Tiger group would also suspect him and try kill her before anyone could find out.

there is also the Visualize connection we know RJ was connect to the cult in some way.

Bret Stiles big part of this week ep was his speech about taking someone under his wing  and grooming them for greatness. we also know that he is close to death my theory based on this interaction is that RJ was once one of his star student someone he groomed, mentored (not in term of killing). This could explain RJ God-like status among his followers much like Stalis.

The 5 main suspect are

3 Tiger Tiger members
2 Visualize members (Founder and his Successor) (Haffner is the Successor of Stalis)


What I'm thinking is
he wants Jane to leap down the rabbit hole and chase the tiger, there is a connection between Visualize and the group. This connection is important to RJ and he want Jane to find it.

Here's my thoughts I don't think RJ and the tyger tyger group are related. I honestly think RJ is his own person. If you watched the promo you will understand why I am thinking this and I am talking about the part where rigsby is talking. Watch that part on the cbs website and youll see why I think that. I really think that this class is just a bunch of corrupted or grouped up cops looking for RJ. I think there is a bigger picture here with what RJ is doing and the clues and list he gave to jane. Im quite sure and this could be wrong that RJ is not one of those people on the list. My honest guess if i had to give one would be kirklands twin brother. Just for the fact he keeps saying have you seen me before just kinda stands out as a clue to me. With other past facts about Rj as well He just seems to fit. 

What's everyone think.

RJ is twin brother of kirkland. In one episode he asked a man in a bed of a hospital if he recognize him and next kill the guy. The guy who was killed was Bob, but the real RJ is Michael Kirkland.
