Are you sure they have been removed in the first place?
They could have been moved... or more vicious: renamed...
You should find something in the history files but that means looking at ( and have to be root...) all the users that connected since the last you knew the files present... (In older days I used to crash the system, use fsck, and reboot -n...)

RC(8) System Manager's Manual RC(8)
NAME
rc - command script for auto-reboot and daemons
SYNOPSIS
/etc/rc
/etc/rc.local
DESCRIPTION
Rc is the command script which controls the automatic reboot and rc.local is the script holding commands which are pertinent only to a spe-
cific site.
When an automatic reboot is in progress, rc is invoked with the argument autoboot and runs a fsck with option -p to ``preen'' all the disks
of minor inconsistencies resulting from the last system shutdown and to check for serious inconsistencies caused by hardware or software
failure. If this auto-check and repair succeeds, then the second part of rc is run.
The second part of rc, which is run after a auto-reboot succeeds and also if rc is invoked when a single user shell terminates (see
init(8)), starts all the daemons on the system, preserves editor files and clears the scratch directory /tmp. Rc.local is executed immedi-
ately before any other commands after a successful fsck. Normally, the first commands placed in the rc.local file define the machine's
name, using hostname(1), and save any possible core image that might have been generated as a result of a system crash, savecore(8). The
latter command is included in the rc.local file because the directory in which core dumps are saved is usually site specific.

init(8), reboot(8), savecore(8)
