Description
The image shows an open notebook with handwritten text on both pages. On the left page, there are several sentences written in black ink, discussing a person named Jonathan and mentioning a project related to a murder. The right page continues the text at the top, while the bottom portion features a color photograph of a man with short brown hair and a slight beard. Below the photograph, there is additional handwritten text identifying the individual in the image. The pages have a slightly rough texture, and small pieces of paper peek out from the edges, suggesting the notebook contains additional content.
