The oil filter woulda been blown off because the crankcase was pressurized. This is usually because of a blown head gasket, warped head, or something similar but can't be sure unless the engine is torn down. Basicly there is a hole that when the cylinder tries to compress the mixture to fire it, the air is allowed to leak into the crankcase somehow and builds pressure in the oil galley.
