Walter Scott (Born Walter Notheis)
February 7, 1943 – December 28, 1983
Walter Scott was the lead singer of the St. Louis blue-eyed soul band, Bob Kuban & the In-Men whose 1966 hit, “(Look Out For) The Cheater,” qualifies them as a “one-hit wonder.” Scott left the group shortly after the record’s release and mounted an unsuccessful solo career. In later years he fronted a popular cover band. On December 27, 1983, Scott went missing. In the Spring of 1987, his hog-tied corpse was found in a water tank. He had been shot in the back of his head. The lover and future husband of Scott’s second wife was later convicted of his murder. The case was featured on Court TV’s Forensic Files in recent years.
