Remember, Toriel says "It has been a long time since a human has fallen down." Gerson would have been younger back then and have the full capability to kill the human. Gerson also has their items, the Cloudy Glasses and the Torn Notebook. Also, Undyne could have NOT been the killer of the purple soul. It could have been Shyren because you have to hum or smile to get past her, and the Perseverance soul is definitely portrayed as a more analytical person. To be fair, Gerson fought in the war, which was said to be hundreds of years before Chara fell down, so he could have been too old to fight even before Frisk came, and he didn't attack Frisk either. Toriel may have said it was a long time, but she was alone the whole time, so her track of time must be really slow, which means that at the very shortest, Frisk could have fallen down months after the last one. Shyren isn't really a fighter, because she was very shy without her sister, who most likely was an amalgamate when Purple came by, so there's virtually no chance Shyren could have killed any of these humans.
