Disappearing Shrimp!

if there is driftwood in there, and you think it can fit somewhere in it, then thats exactly where the shrimp is lol. I'm guessing I have somewhere around 40 cherry shrimp in my 40 gallon give or take a few. I only see around 10 of them at a time, so if you don't see all your shrimp that just means that they're hiding somewhere. if they didn't hide, they would be eaten by large fish in the wild; its an instinct! 
They are masters of hiding...so the shrimp could be hiding anywhere in your tank.
Side note: I had one shrimp that managed to get into my filter...not sure how because it would have had to crawl against the out flow but whatever it died. My theory is that my Dwarf Puffer drove it to suicide.
I don't know enough about mollies to know if they could have eaten the shrimp. But from what I understand of mollies will try and eat anything that will fit into their mouth.
