Did the plane loose the engine?

I've been trying to keep up with the developments on this investigation, so sorry to all if this question has been discussed earlier.

It was reported a day or two after the crash that the fixed wing had lost an engine before impact; has this been confirmed?

The video that surfaced a few days after is not conclusive to me - anyway. It looks like the prop is turning when the two crafts hit but I can't see if the prop is turning at full or near full power.

There have been a couple of recent reports on the Teeterboro controllers and but nothing I know of related to possible communication to controllers of engine failure on the winged craft.

Thx.
