After reading the latest theories and watching the latest episodeagain something really stuck out.

A previous poster wrote down that he thinks Kirkland is Red John and has a new face. While this doesn't mean he is Red John it was very clear that he wanted someone who had supposedly seen and met with Red John to know if he could recognise him.

Now, go back to the scene in the episode where the nurse tells Jane the federal offices are creepy and she thinks they will pull a mask off and expose their alien face? I think that is something the writers have purposely dropped in on the hope that people wouldn't pay to close attention to it.

The writers of the show always subtlety drop hints if you pay close enough attention. The big one in the latest episode was when the PR lady calls the investor and the producer walked away and answered the phone - note the rye smile on Janes face. Incredibly subtle but he knew what was going on - the charade about the jazz hands was just a way for him to divert attention.

I used to be convinced Jane was Red John but so much stuff is coming out to prove he can't be - unless these writers get really clever!
