XF 1.5 How are soft deleted posts marked in database

We lost quite a few attachments when our site was imported from vBulletin. I have worked out techniques for restoring the lost images and converting them to current attachments in XenForo.

At this point I am running into problems with posts that are soft deleted but show up in my queries against the post table. I had thought the post message state would be other than visible. Is that information held somewhere else? If I look at the posts from the application, the thread status says removed from public view with my admin/moderator privileges. :confused:
 
As it turns out, I was having a problem with deleted threads, where the posts in the thread are not marked deleted, only the thread. Just one more join of many to sort this stuff out. :)

Thanks for the help. I had looked in the deletion log and they were not there. I think the behavior is correct, I just did not think it all the way through.
