Anyone consider that Lyrra might have been adopted by Jed, etc. after the massacre? I have little or nothing in the way of actual quotes from the game, but it's definitely possible (if completely unmentioned) that her family quickly moved after the killings.
If you remember, in the flashback family, the younger daughter "died" because the older one didn't look after her. She might have been accused of not looking after her because the younger one snuck off into the massacre, and there's some evidence to show that Scatha (or whatever her actual name is) and Slade are related, largely because of the whole thing about Scatha's face being disfigured.
This falls into place, though, because of what she says to Slade the last time they meet, in which he says something about killing her, and she says something along the lines of "You already have once." Additionally, the brother is told to throw the sister into the Pits, Scatha says that she came from the Pits, and she doesn't trust people. Finally, Slade wakes up saying the end of whatever you said to the flashback family, lending some small amount of credibility to that scene as being real.
Conversely, however, this whole theory could also be used to give some more relatives to Serena, but did it say anywhere if she had any brothers or sisters?
Either that or Lyrra's brother could have been Midian or somebody, and his dead spirit might be the Phantom Slasher.
