AFAIK they haven't found it, but that isn't unusual. Depends on where the bipolar beams from the pulsar are pointing. It might still be too hot to be shining in the visible for now, so we may see it later on. But even if it isn't there...two reasons...1. the star obliterated itself entirely, or, 2. it was an asymmetric explosion and the neutron star has been kicked out of the way.
