A Senseless Murder and the Indianapolis Police Department By: Tommy Sickels On August 14, 1988, a police officer was murdered, sparking the worst criminal case in Indianapolis’ history, bar none. That day, Fred Sanders murdered Officer Matt Faber by shooting him in the back, and ultimately got to walk away with a slap on the wrist—spending just three years in jail without ever entering a prison. While Sanders pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter, a jury nevertheless awarded him 1.5 million dollars in compensatory damages. A month later, the federal judge vacated the jury’s verdict, but justice was never truly served. In this book, the slain officer’s supervisor tells the story of Faber’s murder and the case, as well as an explanation of the Indianapolis Police Department’s structure, history, and daily operations.
