I honestly assumed that you were talking about mom, but it would be even better if you made it someone else that might live in the house like an aunt or older sister that the killer could have mistakenly assume had children. Though, the mom idea still makes sense because the children. If you do add the mom, you're likely to have to add a dad too because there is a huge cliche of the dad leaving the family behind. You know, like abandonment.
