Look at chapter 25. When Rachel is attacked, Baam goes crazy and the Shinsoo in the test area attacks Hwa Ryun. Now, the reason we know that's what happened is because we're later told about it, but during the incident itself all we see is Baam having a crazy fractured flashback to when he was living in the cave.

In that flashback there's a panel where someone is grabbing Rachel's hair and hurting her, and it's overlaid with the text "I MUST PROTECT HER". The implication strongly being that Hwa Ryun is not the first person to try to hurt Rachel, but that Baam doesn't remember what happened properly. Especially since he claims never to have known anyone other than Rachel.

So it's not all that much of a leap to say that when Baam went berserk that first time he killed someone, and that someone could have been a friend or relative of Rachel's. It's even possible that Baam killed more than one person during this episode. That means Baam might really be responsible for killing Rachel's family.
