Three meanings of miss

votes
In English the word "miss" has three meanings, if you miss something, I missed a shot, and he is missing. I know how to say the first two, but not how to say he is missing.
- I miss her. Yo la extraño.
- I missed the ball(like basketball or tennis). Yo fallé la pelota.
- He has been missing for a week. (I do not know how to say this so can you please help me)
- I don't know if I would use one of the above, but how would I say I missed the party or I missed my chance.
I appreciate your help! Thank You!

faltar can be used in some of those contexts (like when your whereabout is unknown)
to be absent o missing (estar ausente)
