A female informant on an undercover drug buy was allegedly raped in this Alexandria, La., house, shown Sept. 8, 2022, while her law enforcement handlers left her unmonitored in January 2021. The ranking officer in the operation, recently retired, told AP: “We’ve always done it this way. She was an addict and we just used her as an informant like we’ve done a million times before. Looking back, it’s easy to say, ‘What if?’” (AP Photo / Gerald Herbert)

A dirt road, shown Oct. 26, 2021, leads to what was once the home of Paul Adams and his family on the outskirts of Bisbee, Ariz. Adams, a Mormon and U.S. Border Patrol agent living with his wife and six children, admitted he had posted videos on the dark web of him molesting two of his children, a 9-year-old girl and a younger daughter he began raping when she was only 6 months old. Adams killed himself after his arrest. The revelation that Mormon officials directed an effort to conceal years of abuse in the Adams household sparked a criminal investigation of the church by Cochise County attorney and a civil lawsuit by three of the Adams’ children.

In Athens, Ala., June 23, 2022, Daniel Guess holds a photograph of himself, right, along with his father, Larry Guess, center, and brother David Guess. David, 51, was shot to death in March over payment for an auto part — a seemingly routine dispute that escalated, like many U.S. incidents of gun violence. And like many such victims, his killing drew little attention outside his local area, but his death shattered many lives. (AP Photo / Brynn Anderson)
