I think Marty's daughters are going to be tied into what's going on...in order for Maggie to be involved in the final hunt for the killers in the last 2 episodes.
Otherwise there wouldn't be any need for her character in the last 2 shows (if the daughters or father-in-law are not somehow part of the killings). This way she will have to interact with Marty & Rust in the year 2012 (after everything that happened at the end of episode 6)
I think Maggie's character introduction in 2012 was not in vain even if the girls aren't involved. Maggie was brought in by the detectives to try and find out more about Cohle's character (we realize they are trying to build a case again him for Tuttle's murder) and speaking to the wife of his former partner of 7 years is a logical way of doing so.
Maggie's questioning was also able to highlight the '02 debacle between the 3 of them. I think the writers were trying to make a point with Maggie lying in her questioning about her relationship with Cohle to the detectives: no one in the story is completely innocent of anything.
IMHO- I don't think we see Maggie again the '12 timeline, maybe in the flashback if at all.
