To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Indiana Access to Public Records Act, I hereby request the following records:
Data on all cases of: unsolved missing persons, homicides, suspicious deaths, and deaths in custody involving an Alaska Native/American Indian woman or girl victim within your jurisdiction(s). For the purposes of this request, "Alaska Native/American Indian" is defined as any individual who was identified as a member of an Alaska Native or American Indian community or as having Alaska Native/American Indian heritage. "Woman or girl" includes all victims identified as females, as well as transgender women. If there are any Jane Does that have been identified as potentially Alaska Native or American Indian, please include them as well.
This request is for basic information on cases as classified above. Such information may include but is not limited to victim name, location and date of disappearance/death, age of victim, status of case (solved or unsolved).
The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.
In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 7 business days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,

To Whom It May Concern:
I wanted to follow up on the following Indiana Access to Public Records Act request, copied below, and originally submitted on July 7, 2018. Please let me know when I can expect to receive a response, or if further clarification is needed.

Good morning,
Your request has been forwarded to our data center and is being processed. The Indiana Access to Public Records Act (APRA) specifies that agencies respond to and acknowledge requests sent by email within seven (7) days; the actual production of documents does not have to be within that time frame. As you can imagine, we receive many requests and process them in the order we receive them.
Thank you for following up. I will forward this to the data center who will have a better idea as to time-frame.
If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
