We possibly spotted her last night, and might live in your neighborhood - my wife emailed the owner for confirmation

These tips have helped get several neighbour's cats back. I saw the picture on a post a year or more ago. If kitty is out for a while, and if you have security cameras or can get some, or ask your neighbours, make sure the cameras are set to all motion and aimed at the ground where you have some enticing food. You might have to adjust sensitivity and block spaces you don't want motion picked up. If you don't have security cameras, you can get a Wi-Fi trail camera from Walmart. Easy set up, but might have to pay a small monthly fee. It will connect to strongest Wi-Fi signal with no needed password. So you can use it anywhere as long as Wi-Fi is in the area. This will allow you to check when your kitty might be stopping by to eat the tastyfood you have set out. That helps if you have to set a trap to know what time to put the trap out. You can buy a trap online, at a home improvement store, or reach out to a shelter to sign one out, if available. When you set up the trap to catch your cat, do not leave it unattended. You want to be close by. The cat will be scared and could hurt themselves or something else could hurt the cat in the trap if left unattended. You want to be close to cover the trap with a towel or blanket to help calm them. When setting up the trap, either put a towel over the sides except where the cat enters, or put it on as soon as the cat is inside. You can try covering half as well and then when the cat is trapped cover the rest. Might need to try different ways. Put food in the trap in a sort of 'T' like formation. In the front, put a little bit of food to coax them in then put another back a little further, around the trip plate, and a long line at the back to make sure they go all the way in and trip the cage to close. It is usually best to put some news paper/cardboard as a liner on the bottom of the trap to keep the food from falling through the cracks and help the cat's feet to not get pinched in the wire of the trap. DO NOT place the litterbox outside, your friendly cat might not be the only animal it lures. You want your kitty safe when it comes back not attacked by a predator. It is better to put something that smells of you out. Also check for enclosures your kitty may have gotten trapped in such as garages, old chicken coops, crawl space, ect. If you have not already, make fliers and put in mail boxes, at local vets, animal shelters, etc.. Pawboost has a flier you can print.
