Open the file ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.screencapture.plist

Within the list under the "location" key you sill see where the current location is set.

(You can also change the location if you wish although apps like macpilot can edit it for you with a nice GUI)

I just checked, I don't have one either. Alphabetically, it should be the 4th item on this list, but it's not.
