Stolen, or deliberately scrapped by the owners? It’s entirely possible they legitimately thought that the FCC wouldn’t care about the AM requirement in their license. The owners would almost certainly know that the thing went offline. They would have a maintenance schedule, and power bills to pay.

  Is it at all possible that they outsourced the physical maintenance - including paying the power bills - of the tower to someone else, who in turn screwed them over?

It isn’t a sister station, it is a translator station. If it were a sister FM, it could stay on the air.
