He can only be missing if you know he's missing. If you don't know or are not aware of him the person is not missing. Missing is a subjective thing in my book.
Say a bus driver you don't know called in sick, so his bus isn't running. So instead of a gap of 10 minutes between buses on the line, there's a gap of 20 minutes between two buses, because one bus isn't being driven. You wait longer than usual at the bus stop. When the next driver pulls up, you angrily ask for an explanation, and he explains about the missing driver. Now you know about him, and _Now_ he's missing.
