A criminal starts at the origin and escapes by moving on the integer lattice points of the plane. At each step, they move to a neighboring lattice point, with the restriction that they never move in the same direction twice consecutively. It is known that their first move is upward, and that their path visits every lattice point exactly once. An agent also starts at the origin but cannot see the criminal.
