Mattie Devore (nee Stanchfield) from Bag of Bones is Kyra's mother who lives in a trailer on WAsp HIll Road. She was married for a very short while to Lance Devore when she was 17 and he was 21. They had Kyra shortly after their marriage, but later, after three short years, he died, leaving her a widow with a young and peculiar child. Mike and Mattie meet when he pulls off of the side of the road because Kyra is walking down the center of the road on the lines.
