Yeah, you can be.

• You and your friends are known to be walking on a trail
• You do not have a radio
• Authorities are informed that a bear, an apex predator, is high on cocaine in your area.
• Authorities do not know if you are missing or if you are still on your hike.

Feared missing would be you were out and you get a phone call saying that your house has been broken into. You fear that your dog is missing so you race hope but the dog is still lying on his back on the couch.

The dog was never missing. You were afraid he just duffed off.

They didn't know if they were missing or they were still out
