Israel retains the Dead Sea Scrolls at the Shrine of the Book Museum in Jerusalem (except at such times when they are on foreign exhibition).

The mystery concerns the people who had those scrolls and the differences there are between the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Masoretic Hebrew Text of today.

That need not concern us, since at least some of the Dead Sea writings were from non-traditional people, presumably Essenes. We rely on our Massoretic (Traditional) Hebrew Bible, which is the ONLY accurate text from ancient times.
