When you see the pics, its that cut and dry. Believe me.

I'm not trying to discredit you or anything. All I'm saying is that your pictures shows a bolt to the column, with the decking yet to be installed, so in this area they are not even ready to pour concrete.
If that is all the bolts they had in the connections during the concrete pour that is the first place I would look for a failure. I would like to think people are smart enough to complete the connections prior to concrete pour..... but then again.

Over the years I've seen those types of conditions during inspections or during investigations, after a roof failure or some such. Missing bolts (unfilled bolt holes), thus lack of shear cap'y; wrong sized bolts used in some holes, thus less shear cap'y. and some bolts not acting until the joint started to fail other bolts; or wrong grade of bolts used. These types of things are many times pretty easy to see and find in the rubble. Given the way the rubble lands you can often hone in on where to start looking.
