Hidden Folder In Lightroom

Hi,

I am trying to locate some photos from a 2015 Grand Canyon trip that are in my Lightroom Classic Catalog. I know they are there or at least Lightroom believes they are there because I can't import them for this reason. However I am unable to find them anywhere in the Catalog. I have searched by Keywords, and by Date, with no luck. More interesting is that the folder is also nowhere to be seen on the left hand side. I can see the external harddrive they're on, but the folder titled "Grand Canyon 2015" is just missing not grayed out but completely gone, therefore I can not Sync the folder. I also can't add the folder because it belives it to already be there. 

If anyone can lend some light on this issue and maybe some possible solutions I would be greatful.

To find these photos in Lightroom Classic, please follow all four of these steps in order:


1. In the Lightroom Classic Library Module, on the left, under Catalog, click on All Photographs
2. Turn off all filters (Ctrl-L once or twice)
3. Turn off all stacking (Photo->Stacking->Expand All Stacks)
4. Search for at least one of these photos by file name using the Lightroom Classic Filter Bar

Then when you found the photo, select it and choose 'Photo - Go to folder in library'. Lightroom will show the folder where this image is stored.
