Peterson died shortly after his second arrest, as I recall. In any event, he has gone to his greater reward...

Some of the documents were phonograph related. All I could find was that he was imprisoned, granted parole, but then later arrested again for selling more items. The second arrest was aided by a historian (Henry Bartholomew Cox) who was helping the FBI. These are the two links I found: http://articles.latimes.com/1985-07-29/news/mn-5074_1 http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/04/11/AR2007041102265.html They don't really say what finally happened to him. Was there an article in MAPS In The Groove, or in the defunct New Amberola Graphic? I seem to remember something, but now, on the internet, I didn't find too much.
