In the Netherlands someone can only go missing if there has been no contact for 24h or there is a sign/some evidence of something bad happening. Police could easily say "well, maybe his phone died, try again tomorrow" but I don't if the protocol is similar in the US.

It is an extremely common misconception that you must wait 24 hours in the US. There is no such rule.
