my red eared slider ran off multiple times, thanks to group effort he was found by a neighbor who put him in a tub from which he again escaped and headed down to the next neighbor, anyway a week later he was returned home, the yard was proofed though he escaped multiple times into the yard during enclosure renovations after - he, believe it or not, would return on his own to the back door of the house.
all i want to say is do not give up your search, door to door is better than flyers, the neighbors were going to keep him, we were new to the area back then and did not know them.
Do search, do knock on doors and alert the neighbors, there is alway hope.
and never leave any type of turtle/tortoise unattended in unfenced areas - it literally takes 60 seconds before they will become one with the landscape.
it took me a couple years to figure out that pretty much concrete and cinder blocks are the only way to stop him, because the things he climbed are crazy!
anyway, be safe.
