i want to my thoughts with you guys.
First, I think the Carmen lee was some of message from red john or could have been nothing. Carmen is the colour RED and reminded jane of Sophie somehow.

Secondly, red john has been using kirkland info on jane. He has been under surveillance for 9 yrs. Rj told jane to roll tide in season 2 finale. This is what kristina frye told the waiter. So rj overheard their conversation. I think kirkland have met Rj and has trusted him with his investigation but he does know it. And Rj has been using kirkland to stay one step ahead of Jane. We still dont know Rj friend in the FBI. Alexa Schultz knows about kirkland investigation she was the one to call Minelli. Maybe she is Rj contact.
