<P> Robert "Bob" Kirkland, introduced in the retcon episode "Red Dawn", has engaged in numerous suspicious activities relating to Jane and Jane's search for Red John . In flashback just after Jane has joined the CBI, a man is seen thanking FBI Director Alexa Shultz for asking Virgil Minelli to keep the FBI updated on the Red John investigation . A couple of episodes later, the man reappears . He identifies himself as Homeland Security Agent Bob Kirkland, telling Lisbon that the Tommy Volker matter is being handled and that she should "take a step back". </P> <P> After he leaves her office, he comes upon Jane . The two shake hands, and Kirkland tells Jane that he knows him, although Jane didn't know Kirkland . In the next episode, Lorelei Martins tells Jane that he had already met and shaken hands with Red John . In the episodes "Red Sails in the Sunset" and "There Will Be Blood", Kirkland and Homeland Security are shown taking deep interest in finding Red John's accomplice, Lorelei Martins, when she goes on a killing spree . Neither the CBI nor Homeland Security locate Lorelei before she is found murdered under Red John's trademark smiley face . When Jason Lennon (who admitted to being an accomplice of Red John) awakes from an induced coma, he is interviewed by Kirkland . He tells Kirkland that he remembers who shot him but says he does not recognize Kirkland . Kirkland then kills Lennon with an injection, making it appear Lennon has died of his injuries . Kirkland tells Jane that Lennon "never said a word" before dying . </P> <P> In the episode "Red Letter Day", Kirkland has two Homeland Security agents break into the attic where Jane works (and occasionally lives) at CBI . They take pictures of the information on Red John that Jane has on display . Kirkland is able to reproduce a near exact version of Jane's bulletin board on Red John, presumably including the references to Kirkland himself as a suspect . Jane had had suspicions that he was being watched and realizes that his room has been broken into because he sees the toothpick he had been leaving of late between the door and the frame lying on the floor where it fell after Kirkland's men entered the premises, never noticing it . </P> <P> Kirkland reappears in episode 4 of season 6 . He is revealed to be responsible for killing names on a list of fake Red John suspects his men stole from Jane . Once he learns that the list was fake from Jane, he kidnaps him . At the barn where he is being held captive, it is also shown that Richard Haibach is there, one of the men suspected of being the "San Joaquin Killer ." Jane is saved by Hightower and Lisbon, and Kirkland is arrested . On his way to prison, his vehicle is pulled over by FBI Agent Reede Smith . Smith informs him that the "Tyger, Tyger" quote is used by dirty officers of California Law Enforcement . Smith is one of them . When he gives Kirkland the address to a safe house, he then shoots him to death while running to his freedom . He and the driver cover it up and before departing say, "Tyger, Tyger ." While Kirkland originally monitored Jane through his connections in the FBI and researched Red John on his own accord, Kirkland's findings into the existence of this criminal organization enabled him to authorize Homeland Security to openly investigate Red John, as he is a suspected member of the organization, which could pose a threat to national security and commit acts of terrorism . </P>
