If they were found, wouldn't they be missing? I think feared lost might have made more sense. Like when you are missing your glasses, looking all around, and they were on your head the whole time... they were missing, but not lost?

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.
