The indirect object will be in CAPITAL LETTERS.

John gave MARY a coded note.

Teniqua sold MARY the key to the code.

Police issued MARY a subpoena.

Mary gave the POLICE a statement.

Teniqua then told the MEDIA everything.

If there are two people or things involved in the action of a verb, ask yourself what actually received the action? Teniqua did not sell Mary; she sold the key to the code. Mary did not give actual policemen to anybody, she gave a statement. The thing or person which is actually experiencing the action of the verb, instead of being a recipient later, is the direct object. The indirect object is the associated person or thing.
