Wayne Janssen was Kate's biological father, though he was likely unaware of this. He beat Kate's mother Diane, was an alcoholic, and made sexual advances toward Kate (which she vehemently rebuffed). He was killed by Kate when she blew up his house. The timeline indicates that he was killed in 2001.

Possible channel through Sawyer on the Island

While tending an injured, delirious Sawyer in the Swan station, Kate played a record of the song "Walkin' After Midnight" by Patsy Cline and told the sleeping Sawyer that she thought she saw a horse outside. Sawyer began to mumble, and as Kate leaned in to hear better, Sawyer grabbed her by the neck and said, "You killed me. Why did you kill me?" ("What Kate Did")
