Family: His remaining family includes his daughter, Cecillia Leigh Collins, and son, Jesse Collins.  
Caption where Michael's history is revealed: "Back when Cecillia was just a small girl, there was an accident involving her mother and another person. I had been away on an undercover case at the time, and found out about the news over the phone several days later. The authorities couldn't make out the identities of the two bodies because they had been burned and had told everyone that it had to have been me. I, of course, denied the charge being very much alive, and regretfully told them that it must have been our daughter in the car with her. Because the news received two different stories, the story was eventually just cut altogether to avoid further controversy and that was that. I was without a wife and a daughter. But to tell you the truth Mrs. Stoddard, I couldn't let it settle at that. I wanted to know why the car had caught fire; what had gone wrong, what had taken the lives of the two things that meant the most to me. So, that is what I spent all of these years of my life doing off and on, never having enough time to dedicate myself the way I should, partially because it brought great depression to me, so much so that I had to retire myself from becoming an undercover cop, but was still allowed free range of the case. And it was a good thing I kept it up Mrs. Stoddard, as you know what? I found out that my beautiful wife had somehow found her way in the care with another individual . . . a man, and that was who was in the car with her that dreadful night, not my daughter. Cecillia . . . she was still alive all of these years and I didn't even know! Oh how I could have seen her at my father's funeral, but that was during the climax of my depression and I couldn't even bring myself to confront the situation."
