i dont know the specifics of your situation but what you describe sounds like it was a banned member who returned with a false alias and started the thread.
if a persons account is deleted then it is automatic that all the threads he started get deleted as well and anyone who posted in that thread wont see any record their post exist anymore. it clears out all their content for certain rather then us having to try to continue to deal with and try to find all the leftover controversial crap they leave behind.
as a rule we only delete stuff as a last resort and only for good reason, even if it might be a reason that you dont have all the facts to understand.
