The audio on Live ATC doesn't really offer a whole lot of clues. It is kind of eerie.

I listened for it, but must have missed it. Wasn't it around 4:30p local?

From passur.com radar data it appears that it climbed quickly to 1000ft at 4:20pm then it started loosing altitude quickly and turning south. Last radar contact at 4:21pm shows it heading south at 100ft. News helicopters showed five minutes later. I think it was a Piper Navajo and not a Cheyene from witnesses engine noise description.

Looking at the climb profile it appears that he had minimum speed to overcome and engine out roll over.
