Yeah. "Give you a new beginning." Oh, she never knew how right she was. (...) I killed her. Buried her in the backyard.

Pre-Apocalypse[]
Grapevine, Texas[]
Nothing is known about Ms. Maddox's life prior to or as the outbreak began other than she had a son, Theodore. While her son was away at mortician school, Ms. Maddox found his journals and learned of Teddy's insanity and desire to bring an end to the world in order to create a new beginning. With Ms. Maddox threatening to have the county social services take him away to be committed, Teddy murdered his mother and buried her on their farm. No one ever came looking for Ms. Maddox which only fueled Teddy's beliefs.
After Teddy was arrested by John Dorie Sr., the murder of Ms. Maddox was one of the crimes that a newspaper article stated that he was awaiting trial for.

Trivia[]
