Fatherhood is a big deal to Temogenkensu. He, of course, is the man who murdered Scott Macklam in Port Huron, Michigan in 1986.

Scott himself was a father to be. He never got to meet the baby he shared with Crystal. Scott's father and mother never got to see him again.

They've had to endure years without him. Crystal was left without her fiance, left to raise a baby

at a young age.

Kinsu made sure of that.

But for Kinsu, at least, being a father is a major part of his identity.

At least that's what he says.

Here's a quote of his from the 2010 Parole and Commutation Board hearing on his case.

Here, Kenzu's arguing for why he ought to be released.

I want a chance to prove my innocence. I want a chance at life again. I want to live with my family and my kids. He also said this. I have beautiful grandchildren. I know that everybody comes

and says that before the parole board, but I have some beautiful

grandchildren and they need a grandpa. I've got a beautiful daughter that needs a father who's never

been there for her, and that's what I want to do. So Kenzu wants everyone to know that reuniting

with his family is a big deal for him. Okay, so let's talk about Kenzu's family. Specifically, let's talk about his

kids. He wants to live with his kids, or at least, I guess, live a life where he can have access to his

kids and grandkids. That's a big argument of his when it comes to being released. Well, it is true that

Kenzu does have children. We know of several kids that he had with multiple

women, biological children, and a child raised to believe they were his. We know of four now adults

who could be accurately described as Kinzu's children within those two categories. We imagine

there could very well be more. Women had a habit of fleeing Kinsu's violence.

There could be children out there that he doesn't even know about.
