Does anyone out there know if the last minutes of the Challenger
flight recorder were ever released.  If so, where can I get a copy
or transcript.

About a month or so after the crash, I heard that the NYT was suing
NASA for the tape, but that's the last I heard of it.

I now see accounts of the crash where NASA officials publicly indicate the
crew died at impact (with the ocean) and not during the explosion as originally
speculated.
