That's because they are not where Lightroom thinks they should be. You have either moved them on your computer, or they are on an external drive that is not connected to your computer.

It stores the metadata for each file, plus a list of edits/adjustments and a link to the location of the original image/RAW file. Dan Marchant

Slim chance, but the OP should be aware of the “Capitalization” problem/bug that I think occured around 2016. I’ve been seeing a lot of people recently (late 2019/early 2020) reporting it again.

NO, I did not move any of the files. I can view/see images from years ago but not these. Rick
