Misa Morimoto, the 50-year-old identical younger twin of Miho Yamamoto, reacts next to a photograph of her older sister in 1982, during an interview with Reuters in Otsuki city, Yamanashi prefecture, July 15, 2014. Morimoto spoke to no one for 18 years about her identical twin sister who vanished when they were 20, not even to her own children. On the rare occasions when asked, she lied and said her sister was studying overseas. But slowly the pain of uncertainty about her sister's fate was replaced by suspicion of the unthinkable - that her twin, Miho, an energetic girl who liked hiking with her and striking silly poses for the camera, was abducted by North Korea.
