Stone crabs are capable of eating all remains, particularly if the animal molted. However, extreme secretive behavior for a couple of weeks is common with animals that molt. Give it another week to make sure that he isn't hold up molting. One other possibility is that the animal made it into some of your plumbing. More than once I have had animals crawl into one of the water lines.
