Could have been snatched by a racoon, fishing bird, etc. Or, it could be lucky at evading the net.

It could be several places.Do you have a skimmer or bottom drain?Is your's a liner pond? Could be in a liner fold.Do you have lilly pots to hide in?Or could it be in plain view only camoufleged too well?If dead it may only float after several days.
