- Description
- The image shows an open notebook with several pages visible. The two pages in the center display handwritten text in blue ink. The handwriting is cursive and slightly slanted to the right, filling both pages with dense writing. The pages have roughly cut edges, suggesting a handmade or craft-style notebook. There are no illustrations or images on the pages, only text. The edges of the notebook show other pages layered beneath, with some visible black ink markings on the side, possibly from earlier or later pages.

- Transcription
-
all the McNulty boys I interviewed Jonathan in successive interviews over the three year period after David was murdered in our front yard. He said that life continues to be rocky for the McNulty family. His brother Peter died two years ago. Peter was the artistic brother. He'd lived in NYC for 10 years and died of a drug overdose.
Jonathan said he and Peter felt more like twins than he and David the actual twin, and that Peter's death was very hard for him.
Gordon the father of the six boys is now 73 and deep in to dementia. He remarried after Linda Beth's death in 2003.
The new wife is evidently immensely disliked by the boys. She had not been a friend of Linda Beth. But Jonathan said she was 'around' even before Linda Beth died. What does that mean?
When I heard this I said, "Your Mum was a tough act to follow." - Rights
