My guess as well. Sometimes you just can't see them from the inside. I think they retract then re-emerge when the tire is pressurized and ridden on. The key to success is accurately matching the location of the tube puncture to the tire. Then your search is narrowed. Look both inside and outside of the tire while flexing. Bright light and good magnification help.
