Sorry to hear it. My only thought is that the hit was not where you thought exactly. I know at least on me, my mind has played a few tricks when I've found a wound no where near where I thought I'd struck an animal.
I shoot ST magnums, and have had very good luck with them; the two cows I've killed were either passthroughs or hanging by fletching on the offside; I think every deer I've shot has been a clean passthrough, with the exception of one I shot poorly and went right through both temples because of my bad shooting. All animals have left very good blood trails. I'm shooting 65 lbs at around 415 grains.
I do hope you find him, alive or dead-
