However, following the beginning of the outbreak, Maria would end up losing Kevin under mysterious circumstances.
Come to 2016, Maria then formed a community in Jackson, Wyoming, and set up a town where people could live in peace. She then went on to get elected to serve on the town's council and helped oversee its development while also taking in survivors who could start over with their lives in Jackson.
That's when she met Tommy Miller, too, with whom she started a romantic affair.
