If normally an indoor cat, then kitty is likely hiding real close to home. They tend to freeze in place and may not come out if you call their name. They are masters at hiding and squeezing into small spaces. Use a flashlight to look in, under, behind all dark spaces so that their eyes glow. You can do this during the day, but especially at night when things are quieter. Check inside the house as well just in case (dresser drawers, up inside mattress box spring, recliner, sofa, etc). Look up in trees and other high spots in case kitty climbed up to escape another animal. Do NOT put litter box or bedding outside as that can attract other animals/predators. Put some of your dirty laundry/worn clothing outside for the scent. Leave a door cracked open so kitty can get back inside. Set up trail cameras outside and use a humane trap that you can buy at a hardware store or borrow from a rescue. Ask neighbors to check garages and sheds. Hang LOST signs in your area. Post on Nextdoor app, Ring app, Pawboost, area facebook pages, and lost and found facebook pages. Make sure microchip information is accurate. Check local animal shelters in person. Check the 24petconnect website via zip code for intakes and be sure to click on Lost My Pet, select the filter to increase the radius beyond the 10 mile default. Be careful of scammers contacting you about drone services, pet tracking or stories that your pet is at the vet and money is needed.

You’ll want to get a humane trap. Harbor Freight has them for a good price. Use some smelly bait… like can tuna packed in oil. If you catch another critter, just release them and re-set and re-bait the trap. I hope Dexter is home very soon! https://www.harborfreight.com/32-in-x-15-in-x-10-in-medium-animal-trap-63008.html
