I’ve searched for .wma, .ogg, .mp3, .wav, \<embed\>, in the source html, and I can’t find the file that plays when this certain web page loads. What else can I search for?

My student wants to put the opening sound file in her presentation, heard when you open this page: [http://www.hauntedhamilton.com/gotw\_lizzieborden.html](http://www.hauntedhamilton.com/gotw_lizzieborden.html)

.mid yields nothing either.
