Once the characters move to Missouri, Amy points out that there are hardly any people of color where they live. However, this doesn’t seem like a genuine concern since she hardly had any friends of color before

It’s a bit complicated. Nick tries to rely on the police for help in the beginning, but they later believe he killed Amy. Amy lies to the police to escape consequences when she returns. The police seem mostly reactive
