There has to be at least one place in the kitchen you haven't checked...are you sure you've checked everywhere, they *could* be in the sink, you never know...

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won'
They can't jump that high from the floor...while not in water 
lol.
Trying to think.....I'm betting they are somewhere in that tank..under some gravel or something...if you can't find them anywhere else.
But I'll tell you this....your fridge has a good size gap all the way under it...if they managed to get under the grate..they coudl be up under it..up inside it...but I don't see both of them going to the same spot. I had 3 jump out at once and they all went different directions.
I'm really curious about this myself. You don't have any shelves or book cases with books or anything down low..that they could have possibly flopped up on and behind do you?

I saw this thread and I just had to pass this article on, lol. It can also be found under the 'Sickness' section at bettysplendens.com, and while it might not help you, you should at least get a little chuckle out of it, as well as the questionable comfort of knowing you aren't alone
Disappearance - Laugh if you will, but I have had enough incidences of betta disappearances that it now warrants its own section. Obviously the great majority of disappearing bettas are due to jumping from their containers. They are hard to find once they have dried out and shriveled up, and it seems that every Jumper magically finds a way to wedge itself up against the nearest chair leg or into the crack of a floor, craftily hidden.
However. I have had jars with lids screwed on tight turn up the next morning missing their betta. A friend of mine once told the story of a betta she found dead in its jar. Pregnant at the time and easily nauseated, she left the dead betta and ran to the bathroom. She didn't have the willpower to face the corpse again until the next day, and when she mustered up the courage and went to get the dead betta for its Last Great Adventure down the commode...it was GONE.
It does happen, of this I am fully convinced. Unfortunately, there isn't much I can say to help you if you have a Disappearing Betta. Maybe he was called back to his home planet to report on the goings-on of Earth. Maybe he was a victim of Spontaneous Betta Combustion. Who knows? Just promise me this - if any of you have a betta go missing and then REAPPEAR in his jar, email me immediately!

LOL Andie! I wish that was possible for a betta to teleport from it's container to Thailand but unfortunately they can't. There is no way a betta could just disappear without a trace. I am 100% the two DT are somewhere in the house or maybe they jump out (I have no idea how) and flip-flop around the kitchen floor

I have read that. That article was actually the first thing that poped in my head, when I could not find them.
This part stuck out the most:

Nope, no pleco. Just the 11 Girls. (now 9) I think it is odd that it is 2, and they are my biggest. I too think they must be hiding, or stuck. I will be taking everything out of the tank, if they are not there when I get home from work today.

I don't have any suggestions, but I wish you luck... Oh, but I do have a little story that seems fitting.
When I was 10 or do, I had two beloved tree frogs. And one day the biggest one up and went missing. They had a full lid, they could not have gotten out. He was gone for two days. I'd disassembled the tank and everything, no trace. I was so sad.
Then 2 days later, there he was. Right in the tank. I didn't know how for the longest time, and I didn't really care 'cause I had gotten him back. I found out awhile later that my babysitter had stolen him, and then returned him when her friend would not take him
