Problem with soft delete?

There was a post recently made by workanytime in myPHP Optimizing Tips post.

I suspect that it was soft deleted by a MOD because now he doesn't have any posts and I can't see it in the thread... but it's popping up in "View your posts" search as the last poster and the icon at the left is red indicating a new post. It doesn't turn read even if I click on it and view the thread.
