Abstract
This paper describes the application of navigational ideas during a late stage of the Yorkshire Ripper investigation. The conclusions reached were irrevocably recorded before the ultimate facts were established by the arrest and conviction of the killer. The reader is invited to assess the degree of success of the method and to rework the data supplied according to his own navigational ideas. The suggestion is made that navigational concepts may become a valuable weapon in the field of crime investigation.Keywords
