Tom Bergin was a filmmaker making a documentary on the popular rock DJ John "The Hawk" Hawkins in 2006.

Hawkins had died in his recording booth on August 29, 1958 in an apparent suicide. After listening to a recording made during Hawkins' final show, however, Tom found this was not the case. Using editing software to filter out the music playing, leaving only the ambient noise in the booth, Tom was able to hear footsteps and a creaking door closing just after the shot that killed Hawkins.

After Tom showed the recording to Lieutenant John Stillman and Detectives Lilly Rush and Nick Vera, they realized someone else had been in the booth and Hawkins had in fact been murdered.
