 In "Spawn" #5, Kincaid is released from a mental institution, where he had been placed because he was suspected of murdering several children.The most notable of the cases, and the only one Kincaid was actually charged with, was the disappearance and murder of a senator's daughter.In his previous life as Al Simmons, Spawn had been hired to kill Kincaid, but had arrived just as Kincaid was apprehended by the police and so was unable to complete the mission.
