Escaped Criminal radiant quest - criminal does not spawn

So, I have a quest from Skjor, if I remember correctly, which tells me that a wanted criminal has escaped and was last seen going around The Pale, or something to that effect. The problem is that the objective arrow doesn't lead anywhere - while I'm in Whiterun, the arrow points to the gate leading out of the city; if I'm outside Whiterun, the arrow points to the gate leading back in to the city.

I read over on the UESPWiki that it's possible to proceed through the quest using console commands, but they don't seem to work for me.

Suggestions, please?

Was able to remove quest from Journal w/ "SetObjectiveCompleted CR07 10 0" and "SetOBjectiveCompleteed CR07 0 0"... but Vilkas still thinks it's uncompleted.

This one seems hopeless.

I found the Clairvoyance spell to be very handy in this quest.

It does spawn but it's constantly moving. I spent like 2 days (real time) running around chasing quest markers and eventually just waiting on a road for her to wander by where I had seen her before.
