A close-up of an old New York Times newspaper, dated Thursday, November 14, 1974, with the main headline "6 IN AMITYVILLE FAMILY FOUND SHOT TO DEATH IN HOME". Below the headline, there's a detailed artistic illustration of a large white Dutch Colonial house at 112 Ocean Avenue, surrounded by police officers and caution tape, under a dawning sky. On the left, a smaller headline reads "Oldest Son, 23, Ques- tioned in Mass Slaing on Long Island," followed by an article that includes a quote: "AN EERIE ECHO 'The killer awoke before dawn, he put his boots on . And he walked on down the hall... 'Father?' 'Yes, son?' 'I want to kill you'... Mother, I want to...' -The End". On the right, a headline states "Ford Proposes New Tax Cut to Combat Recession" and "Coal Strike Talks Adjourned." The newspaper is slightly yellowed and wrinkled, suggesting age and use.
