What This Image Shows​

A Google Trends capture. Search term Michael Reynolds, region Washington DC (Hagerstown), window Past 12 months. The graph spans Oct 27, 2024 to Sep 28, 2025, flat for most of the year, then rising sharply to a peak labelled "Sep 14 - 20, 2025. Michael Reynolds. 100."

This is the only chart in the sub-cluster whose peak falls after September 10, 2025, and it is therefore the one most often cited. The name is from the second crew list, given there as co-pilot.

The timing has an obvious ordinary explanation, and it is the one this site regards as most likely. The competing crew lists were published and discussed in the days immediately following the shooting. A name that appears in widely shared posts about a major news event will be searched by people who read those posts. A spike in the week of September 14 to 20 is consistent with the name having been published, not with anyone having inside knowledge of it.

Michael Reynolds is also a very common name. No verified crew list for N1098L exists, and nothing here connects any person to the aircraft. See the cluster overview.
