10 year search for a movie

I really hope someone can help? I’ve been searching for what I believe is a movie I saw about 10 years ago but can’t remember what it was called. I can clearly remember that one scene from the movie was set in an office block overlooking something that would clearly give away the location. A photo was then taken for the newspaper so someone would know exactly where that person was. Not sure if it was to lure a killer etc. This has been a quest for about 10 years so if anyone can remotely understand what I mean and make a suggestion I’d be eternally grateful.

Something about this sounds familiar to me, but I'm afraid I don't have anything much to offer in the way of suggestions.

I thought perhaps something like the scene you describe might have occurred in an episode of the UK 'Sherlock' series, but I'm really just speculating -- it's been a while since I watched that show. The first episodes of Sherlock were in 2010, so the time-frame is right.

The fourth episode, "The Great Game", does have the picture of the River Thames which leads them to a body - a clue.

Sounds like Manhunter/Red Dragon ?

Do you know what a roller pigeon is, Barney? They climb high and fast, then roll over and fall just as fast toward the earth. There are shallow rollers and deep rollers. You can’t breed two deep rollers, or their young will roll all the way down, hit, and die. Officer Starling is a deep roller, Barney. We should hope one of her parents was not.

This was my first thought.

There's a scene in Manhunter where they run a story to provoke the killer (by saying things about his past and motivations). They intentionally photograph in a way so that the killer will come after Will.

Yep but instead the tooth fairy goes after the reporter guy

The sequence with Will and the FBI sting and the jogger is one of my favorite in the whole film.

Not sure if this is the one you are looking for, but I remember a scene where the expert required proof the person he is looking for & hopefully save was still alive.
