* Jonah Marshall - The third member of The BPS. Went to the house at 3 nights alongside Adam (which was believed to be The Woman's) not realizing it's a trap and had ended up dying after leaving his quote-on-quote "friend" Adam behind.
* Jude Murray - the husband of Lynn and more prominently, the father of Adam. Called The MCPD for help and was likely killed off-screen by The Alternate (Vol. 333) after Lynn dies.
* Lynn Murray - the wife of Jude and the mother of Adam. Committed suicide by hanging herself which made a very loud crack that the neighbors can hear after realizing that The Intruder took her son, Adam away.
* Dave Lee - Manager of MandelaTECH (2000). Assisted Thatcher Davis with restoring supernatural related vhs tapes for him. Co-worker/boss of Evelin Miller at MandelaTECH. When his business started going downhill, and one of his friends, which was O'Brien (Archangel Gabriel, but Dave didn't know that) invited him to a church gig at St. Gabriel's Church, he refused. Two years later, when he had to shut down, lay off Evelin Miller, told Thatcher that he would move on and stop assisting with the VHS tapes, called O'Brien and accepted his offer. Dave would cover up a CRT TV, turning his back on technology, and arrive at the previously mentioned church. He would call O'Brien to let him in, only to be greeted - rather unexpectedly - by Archangle Gabriel himself. After a short back and forth questioning, Gabriel would kill Dave that day.
