Through in-depth conversations with the journalists closest to the stories, Joe examines what happened, what remains unknown, who has been affected, and where the story could go next.

Drawing on a nationwide network of local reporters, the series covers both the stories dominating the national conversation and the cases still emerging beneath the surface.

      <title>Episode 2: The Killer They Could Have Stopped, A Lawyer Accused of Murder &amp; An AI-Powered Drug Ring</title>
      <description>A lawyer is accused of murdering his own client just before her divorce trial. An alleged online drug ring uses AI, encrypted apps and cryptocurrency to build a nationwide operation. And in Portland, a killer under federal supervision goes on a months-long shooting spree despite police repeatedly closing in on him. How was he allowed to keep killing?

For this week's main story, Joe dives into the case of Joseph Kelly Banks, who killed three people and wounded three others during a 2022 shooting spree in Portland. Drawing on the investigative reporting of&amp;nbsp;The Oregonian/OregonLive journalist Maxine Bernstein, Joe examines the warning signs, missed opportunities and law enforcement failures that raise a disturbing question: Could some of these deaths have been prevented?
