A public safety warning details a kidnapping tactic where predators leave fentanyl-laced dollar bills in parking lots to incapacitate young women. Once a victim touches the bill, the drug enters the bloodstream, causing them to collapse and allowing traffickers to abduct them for sex slavery. The segment includes bodycam footage of a police officer collapsing after accidental fentanyl exposure and a viral video warning women about bills left on windshields.

Reporter Savannah Hernandez documented the humanitarian crisis in Portland, Oregon, where the decriminalization of hard drugs under Measure 110 has led to rampant public overdoses. Hernandez witnessed individuals overdosing on fentanyl in broad daylight while being robbed by other homeless residents. Police and emergency services are overwhelmed, frequently reviving the same addicts multiple times a day with Narcan, while the city's social fabric continues to disintegrate.
