DC & Metro Search Patterns (Claims)
Washington, D.C. is the second major geography in Kirk-case Google Trends posts — often shorthand for
federal attention (FBI, DPS liaisons, hospital coordination). Project notes also list DC-area dates in
knowledge/Google_Searches.txt: Nov 24, 2024; June 28, July 3, July 16, 2025; Sept 9–10, 2025.
Virginia appears less often as a named Trends bucket; commentators sometimes fold Northern Virginia / Alexandria into the DMV federal corridor when discussing D.C.-origin hospital or doctor search claims (see Medical — doctor DC phone call). No verified Trends export uniquely labels “Virginia” for most subjects below — treat Virginia as context, not a separate dataset, unless screenshots show it.
Reported DC-heavy subjects (pre-9/10 unless noted)
| Subject | Claimed DC activity |
|---|---|
| Timpanogos Regional Hospital | June 28, July 3, July 16; Sept 9 day-before spike |
| Beau Mason | July 16 (appointment July 17) |
| Tyler Robinson | July 20 blip; massive Sept 10 arrest-day spike |
| Tyler Robinson | Partner address searches sometimes grouped with DC in mega-posts |
Post-shooting DC spikes (context)
Sept 10–11 Timpanogos searches are expected from breaking news. Pre-event July spikes are what investigators emphasize.
“Foggy Bottom” narrative
Citizen posts describe Israel + DC dual scouting as foreign + domestic federal foreknowledge. That is interpretation, not Google-provided labeling of agencies.
