In 1967 Jane and Hugo, who had married in 1964, had a son, Hugo Jr., nicknamed Grub. When aged matriarch Flo's son is 4 years old she tries to wean him because she is pregnant again. He is very dependent and resists. Flame is born and he still won't grow up. At 6 months Flo is ill and Flame disappears.
Flint becomes baby-like again.
Shortly after, Flo dies at about 40 years of age. Flint, grieving, becomes depressed, doesn't eat, sickens, and dies. Infanticide involved one adult female, Passion, and her adolescent daughter, Pom, who were seen to steal and eat three infants and commit many unsuccessful attacks. They were probably responsible for 10 deaths. Passion was known to be a cold, indifferent mother.
