Trends: Michael Harlan, December 2024 Peak

Google Trends chart for Michael Harlan with a tooltip showing a peak of 100 in the week of December 1 to 7 2024

What This Image Shows

A Google Trends capture. Search term Michael Harlan, region Washington DC (Hagerstown), window Past 12 months, with the tooltip reading "Dec 1 - 7, 2024. Michael Harlan. 100."

This is the second of the two spikes visible in the other captures of this term, and it lands in the first week of December 2024 -- nine months before the events this investigation concerns.

Put the two labelled peaks together and the pattern is a term with two unrelated bumps, one in December 2024 and one in late August 2025, on an otherwise empty line. Neither falls on or after September 10, 2025. Whatever drove them, the data does not support a story about lookups tied to the shooting, and presenting these charts as if it did would be reading the graph backwards.

The underlying crew list for N1098L is unverified, and no person has been shown to be connected to that flight. See the cluster overview.
