Looks scary, but are trending search terms still reliable when those terms are all over the news?

Indeed.

I'd imagine searches for 'kidnapping' spike every time a pretty young white woman goes missing too.

The other 3 country graphs show business as usual. I'd say it's mostly because everyone in the US is freaking out.
