Indianapolis Police Department

Turtles All the Way Down

The Indianapolis Police Department is the principal law-enforcement presence in the investigation of Russell Pickett’s disappearance. It enters the story through a police raid tied to a fraud and bribery inquiry, a missing-person report that Aza reads, and later news reports that authorities believe Pickett’s body has been found. The investigation supplies an official account of the case, but the report’s gaps matter: Aza and Daisy believe they possess a timeline that the police do not.
