Best idea in my mind is for Yellow to hit 108-130, Blue to go to 119-121-134, and Red to go to 176-177-178. That lets Blue and Red encircle the SW if Jack is there, puts Yellow in a position of being near the river if he went that way, and puts all of us out of position if he somehow circled back to the NW. 
What do you think?
Yellow 108-130
Red 176-177 please (it’s connected to 161, not 178) - which of course guarantees he’s on 178!
Ah, so it is. Or isn’t. Whatever.
Blue 119-121-134
I think we should go for arrests. We don’t have a scooby where he is so we may as well take a punt.
And he has to announce this turn anyway or lose. Makes sense to me, though I think we are all too far away from him to get that lucky.
Blue will arrest 134
Yellow arrest 130
Red 177?
Jack is not at 130.
Or 134.
Booo. Hiss
Sure. Red arrest 177
He’s not there either.
A body part has been discovered! Near the National Police Memorial, which won’t even be built until 2004! That’s just how cunning your man is!
@pillbox to move.
@pillbox what body part?
It appears to be an ear! Well, two of them actually.

And the bit that goes between them!
I think it’s impressive that all 3 investigators are in the correct quadrant, but none are anywhere near him!
Impressive and convenient!
[pillbox tips his hat]
A small urchin, who has been repeatedly checking a tarnished pocket watch sighs, before exclaiming…
Extra, extra, killer still ‘ahead’ of the flatfoots. Rumours he may attempt to skull down the river! Will the police get the scalp they need, or will tonight be the strangers crowning glory.
“Blimey guvnor, I thought you were one of them toff killers like Albert Edward. If I’d know you was just a regular bloke wiv bloody gloves and a sharp knife I’d have stopped sooner.”
Jack has taken a carriage move
Investigators to move
I think Blue has to come 104-106 to see if he’s gone that way.
The network around 124, 125 & 126 is probably his best way out because our movement through there is slow.
If he’s predicting Blue will go 104 then he may come South and then go back North over the water. Red going North can only really search 1 location so 140 would be my shout. Now he’s out of carriages he couldn’t go past Red in that spot.
Yellow could go back to 86-88 again to chase him if he’s going North quickly, although that leaves us open to a race across the river. I’m kind of tempted with 129-130, which means Yellow can react to what we find (or don’t find).
Yellow has to move first though, right?
I kind of want to map this out a bit more before making any decisions, as we know for a fact he is only two circles away from 123, and we can check out a good number of them.
For instance, with one move, Yellow can be put into position to check 86, 88, 89 and 105 this turn. That rules out all northward movement in one go. If Blue moves to 121-122, we can eliminate most westward movement, other than 139. Red can move a bit north and check 161 and 162.
If he has not gone through any of those circles, then he has to be at 139, 106, 125 or 140, and we would have investigators within striking distance of each of those locations, plus the next step past them. Is that right?
Yes, though the order of moves doesn’t usually matter. More significantly, the investigator moves have to be complete before the search/arrest phase starts.
