Neu hat his son could be cured but he doubted it saying “His inability to control his temper is one of the evidences of his insanity.” Neu’s father, Louis, later explained the decision to confine his son at the asylum was difficult but had to happen because his son was “unquestionably mentally unsound”. Neu returned to Savannah in 1927 and within weeks was confined at the Georgia Lunatic Asylum at Milledgeville where he remained for two years. Within two months Neu was discharged into the custody of his father due to the Army classifying him as unfit for duty because of his “permanent psychosis”. His father believed the Army could help but soon after he enlisted Neu suffered a head injury when he dove in shallow water during a training exercise. He was said to exhibit extreme behaviors. Kenneth and his stepmother were constantly at odds and by the time he was 13 there were concerns about his mental health. His father remarried and there was tension at home.
Tragically, within a few years, his mother died.
When Kenneth was six years old his family moved to Savannah Georgia. Louis Kenneth Neu, known as Kenneth Neu, was born in Queens, New York in 1910.
