In the time period around Sheryl Sheppard's disappearance, Michael Lavoie began a relationship with a woman named Sheila Darbyson.

The timing is odd, and the connection between Michael and Sheila even more so.

Sheila had been in a long-term relationship with Michael's step-brother Mark Dempsey.

According to Sheila, the relationship between her and Mark ended in October 1997, and she began reaching out to Michael to start an affair with him at that time.

Sheryl Sheppard went missing less than three months later, around January 2, 1998.

Sheila says that nothing happened between her and Michael until a few weeks after Sheryl's disappearance.

What can she tell us about Michael's behavior during that mysterious period of time after his apparent suicide attempt?

What can Sheila Darbyson tell us about Sheryl's disappearance?

Why didn't she speak to police officers sooner? Is she credible?

On the wall of Odette's trailer park home is a collection a spoons from all over the world.

Odette herself doesn't like to fly, and has rarely had the means to travel any further than New Brunswick to visit family.

The spoons are gifts from friends and family, as are the items in Odette's other collection — dozens of ornamental clocks.

Most of the clocks are stopped, seemingly stuck at different times in the past. Much like Odette herself.
