My husband's cousin inherited a super speed graphic KE-12 (2) and it is missing the back and the shutter release. He is wondering if this camera is worth anything. He also wonders if you can still buy parts for it like the camera back and the shutter release.

As a parts body worth about $150 max. The focus frames are very rare. Do not know what you mean the shutter release.
Roll film holders for 4x5 cameras show up on ebay regulary and will work on the Super/Super Speed. The Super Speed 135mm Rodenstok lens is cocked by turning the outer ring clockwise when the lever marked "O"/"C" is in the "C" position only. The trip lever is under the cable release socket. Battery cover doors are available at Midwest Photo for about $40. http://www.mpex.com/
