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.
