Maria, played by actress Rosa Salazar, was a quiet, religious nursing student back in 1968 who stayed home while the rest of her housemates went to a Doors concert and opened the front door to R. Franklin, believing he was a man in distress.

Franklin noticed her crucifix necklace and asked Maria if she thought she could be saved, before knocking her out with an ashtray. Maria woke up on a couch, being stared at by Franklin and once again being asked if she thought she could be saved. Franklin then forced her to put on her nurse’s uniform, hog-tied her and stabbed her to death.
