Pat in 1984 This is my brother, Patrick Kinney. He was born in 1978 in Saginaw, Michigan.

Pat was raised with me, Jason, by our mother in a small house in Vassar, Michigan. Our mom and dad were divorced when we were very young, and we stayed with our mother in Vassar while our dad moved to Flint. We visited our dad on the weekends and lived a normal midwestern life in an average small-town neighborhood.

When we were 10 and 12 our mom remarried. Our new step-father and Pat didn't get along very well and Pat went to live with our dad in Flint. After a couple of years he started hanging around with some bad influences. He began taking drugs and struggled with anorexia.

When Pat was 16 a "friend" of his convinced him to help with a scheme to run away to Texas. A scheme that ended with the murder of that boy's twin brother and the eventual incarceration of Pat and his "friend". Patrick is now 28 and has lived in the Michigan prison system for 12 years.
