usage of "about"

In this sentence "Anything come to mind where he could go?", shouldn't you use the word "about" right before 'where he could go'? I'm thinking the same about a similar sentence "Do you have any idea where he might be?".

", shouldn't you use the word "about" right before 'where he could go'? ". I would insert 'about' in the first, but not the second sentence.
