Peter Ivers
He was an American musician, songwriter and television personality.
He was born September 20, 1946, in Chicago Illinois to Merle Rose and Jordan Rose.
His mother was a homemaker and his dad a physician.
He scored the 1977 David Lynch film Eraserhead.
He was best known as the host of the experimental music television show New Wave Theater.
Ivers' main instrument was a harmonica.
Muddy Waters referred to him as "the greatest harp player alive."
He made his live debut opening for The New York Dolls.
He also wrote songs that were recorded by Diana Ross and the Pointer Sisters.
Peter was found bludgeoned to death with a hammer on March 3rd, 1983, in his LA apartment.
The LAPD officers sent to Ivers' house failed to secure the scene, allowing many of Ivers' friends and acquaintances to traffic through.
Officers even allowed David Jove to leave with the blood-stained blankets from Ivers' bed.
Harold Ramis was briefly considered a suspect in the murder, but was quickly cleared after he was able to establish an alibi.
Some of Iver's friends believe that David Jove killed him due to their contentious relationship.
That David was capable of anything.
Following the publication of a 2008 biography on Ivers, the LAPD re-opened the investigation into his death.
It is still unsolved.
