That, or:
1. he might have inadvertently moved them to some odd location (on my
kids' accounts, I frequently find mp3 files moved, say, from the
Desktop to the Gnome task bar, or to Trash.) With a file manager, and
with some help from a jerky mouse or a jerky hand, you can move files
to the strangest of places.
2. the partition currently mounted under the /home mount point is some
other "home" (from another Linux install or whatever). May happen after
ghosting partitions and ending with two partitions having the identical
UUID.
3. oddly configured file manager configured not to show certain file
types, or to show them in white text on white background or something
like that.
