In the spring of 2017, the phone calls came almost every day.

Tina Stodig always stayed in touch with her twin sister, no matter where life had taken her.

The last time they spoke, Tina talked about what was next in her life.

She mentioned finding a new place to land, possibly with her sister, like old times.

They never made a plan, and then one day the calls stopped.

Days passed, then weeks, and the silence that followed was louder than any conversation

they'd ever had.

It would take months before anyone realized just how long Tina had been gone.

And by then, the search for answers had already become something much more complicated.

I'm Kylie Lowe, and this is the case of Tina Stoddick on Dark Down East. It was spring of 2017 when Tammy Stadeg's phone started ringing with a familiar number on the caller ID.

Her twin sister, 40-year-old Tina Stoddig, was calling again.

She'd been incarcerated for a few months at that point, but she called all the time.

Through all the highs and lows in her life, no matter where she was or the reality she faced, Tina always stayed in touch with her twid.

Tina's release date was coming up, so this conversation was different.

This time, Tina had a question for her sister.

She asked if she could move in with Tammy once she was released.

Tammy wondered why Tina wanted to move.

She lived in Southern Maine, over an hour and 45 minutes

away from where Tina typically stayed, but whatever the reason, Tammy never got a real explanation

during that call, and they didn't make any official plans for Tina to move in. A little while later,

in late May of the same year, Tina was released as planned.

Tammy got another phone call from another familiar number that day.
