Bob Kirkland is Red John, no doubt.

Yes, the prison guard took Lorelei to the Fed prison and he obviously told Jane the whereabouts off camera.
I'm not sure that Kirkland is really Homeland Security... he said this but then quickly flashed a badge at Lisbon. Could have easily been faked.

Question: When did Jane manage to track Lorelei?
Are we supposed to just know that the prison driver told Jane this?
Even then, Lisbon said this to Jane but Jane never said it was her he was after. Also, the Homeland Security angle might explain why RJ can walk around everyone without them noticing. If it's him.
