That folder doesnt show when Berth-Anne joined. Note that you HAVE to have given access to the folder at some point for it to be a share. It is impossible for it to be a shared folder without it being, well, shared.
The only way people can get access to a share is via being invited. So, if somebody was in the share and then left and you suspect sabotage they have accessed it via your account - i.e. they have got on to your account, joined, deleted and left. But, lets be honest if they had access to your account why would they join as a share and then delete? They wouldn't, they'd just delete.
The other thing to just point out here is they could have just moved the file out of the shared folder to another location such as their desktop which would then delete from Dropbox. That is very likely, and common, for people who dont know Dropbox.
