The list continued in that manner in the data book. Kree flipped to the very last entry in the book:

Date                     Name                          In               Out
10/31/1922         Margaret Winters         1:00 pm
10/31/1922         Jimmy Winters             1:00 pm
10/31/1922         Sarah Winters              1:00 pm
10/31/1922         Molly Winters              1:00 pm
Kree, of course, recognized the family's name, but she also noticed that there was no "out" time.
She looked at Jimmy with a raised eyebrow, "You showed up at an insane asylum on Halloween?"
Jimmy looked a bit sheepish, "We thought nothing of it, because we didn't celebrate Halloween. We were really religious."
"Your religion certainly got you out of this mess, didn't it?" Kree rolled her eyes as she continued to look around.
Then she had a thought and looked up, "Wait, didn't he say that someone in the family survived? Who else was there?"
"My older brother," Jimmy sighed, "He refused to come, despite how much mom begged him to. He was angry at my dad." Jimmy sounded bitter.
"Well, it happened to be his saving grace," Kree murmured, "Perhaps even yours."
