Has anybody done one of those circular studies of the area where you mark the crime scenes and find a point that is in the middle and close to equally distant from them all? Then you use that point to see who lives there, what was in that location, etc.

If so, where any suspects gleaned from this?

Were any current, contemporary or otherwise, suspects matched to this location?

Hey Tim,

You mean Geographical Profiling?

Its been talked about before (please see the links below) and one or two suspects do fit into that area.

Here are the links.

This link is taken from the Ripperologist 58. An article by Rob House. It is about a certain suspect (Kosmninski) but does include a chapter on the issue of Geographical Profiling.

This link is about the Geographical Profiling (though the topic of Commuter profiling is also discussed) thread on these boards.
