Though it's not a big deal, I feel odd that I can't see the branch in my system... All children look like a self-contained process.
$ ps -efH

However, it sounds to me the PPID of the child processes should be the stunnel parent PID.
Yes, if the stunnel parent is still running.
With my example, if I kill PID 10764, all the stunnel processes will be gone. So I expect that's the parent, then the others should have PPID "10764". Isn't it?
Try 'ps -efH' and you can see the parent/child relationship as a nice indented tree.
I suspect you already killed the parent. All of these are children.
