Turned out there are about 850 reaper projects and out of them maybe 20 projects had some source files not in the project's project folder. I could find some of those source files and copied them into the project directory. Other source files were completely missing, probably deleted when cleaning up old folders.
So, the lesson is to be careful and ensure a project copies all its source files into the project folder at some point. Otherwise, those files might disappear if you clean/delete your other folders. I was surprised how some files managed to go missing.
