Ken Westin was a phony veteran who had been seeing Janet Burton.
History[]
At some point prior to 1973, Ken claimed that he had gone to Vietnam and was there for 11 months before being sent home to illness. When he returned home, he began spending time with Janet Burton and her son Ned. After Carl Burton's return home, she broke up with Ken but he still kept an eye on the family.
After Rex Potter's memorial, Carl rudely gave Ken his POW bracelets. At the same time, Daniel Potter came by and rudely threw a bottle at Ken before rushing off after Carl.
Ken eventually forgot about the bracelets and his home became a crack den. He became a security guard who had a fear of guns. When the bracelets were found decades later, it allowed Carl's case to be reopened.
