Narrative:

In-flight engine failure. While cruising at FL370 south of terre haute, in, the aircraft experienced loss of thrust and a yaw to the right. A quick assessment showed zero N2 and zero oil psi on the right engine with wind milling N1 and decreasing egt. Oil pressure and temperature on the left engine were normal. All engine indications for the left engine were normal. No vibration was noted. An emergency was declared and the captain initiated a descent to FL220. The engine fire/damage/separation checklist was completed. ATC was informed we would make an emergency landing at indianapolis and crash fire rescue equipment was requested. The captain passed the information to the flight attendants and they began to run their emergency checklists. The descent went smoothly with plenty of time to review 1 engine landing procedures and to thoroughly brief crew, passenger, dispatch, and ATC as to our intentions and desires. An uneventful landing was made in indianapolis.
