The former is generally an interrogative form, with ever providing emphasis. "Gee, what ever happened to Joe Piscopio?" a fan of SNL in the 1980's might ask.
Or, if you were not a fan, you might use the pronoun whatever in this way: "Whatever happened to Joe Piscopio, it wasn't enough."
Yeah whatever.
