If you have gone fishing all day and come home around 4:30p.m. or 5:00p.m. You don't call the mother and say your wife is "missing" at 5:30 p.m. Yeah, ordinarily, it would have been him who was "missing".
"Hi, I'm back. Anybody been looking for me?" - Would have been a more fitting question for SP to ask.
I came home and $500,000.00 was missing from my living room. I called everybody. But they couldn't help me. It was already too late.
