I believe that Patricks family is still alive. They faked their death because they didnt like Patrick. This is possible because in Spiderman, they managed to harness the lizards ability to regrow limbs. Also, there is clear evidance that Ray Haffner is related to Hugh Heffner so Patricks wife and daughter are now working as playboy models under the names Susan Squirter and Brittany Blowjob. This also proves that Red John is actually Cho because he is also a Playgirl pornstar
