was wondering exactly how many family members the Hale family counted during the fire and after. In season 1 episode 4, when Derek shows Scott his Uncle Peter, he says His sister and him were at school, 11 people were trapped in the house, Peter was the only survivor. So there should have been 10 death people. In the next episode, (season 1 episode 5, at 35:06) you see Stiles flipping through police reports, and if you pause it correctly the paper says; Number of victims/status: eight family members deceased 8 is not 10 Of course this could be a mistake by the developers, or maybe they just wanted some free space to play with Hales. After all we learn in season three that Derek is wrong and that Cora is still alive. Thus, Derek's death count of 10 should reduce to 9 Leaving Derek to think that 9 family members died in the fire while the police report says there are 8. 1 more survivor the Hales believed to be death? Either way we have Peter, Derek, Laura and apparently Cora as the leftovers after the fire + either 8 or 9 death ones from the arson. Should make 12/13 family members in total.

What are your thoughts about this? (I have yet to see season 4+5, and I didn't count Malia because I believe no one knew about her, although I could be wrong. If she happens to be the missing person Derek believed dead, please correct me)
